Description
Astrologaster is a story-driven comedy game set in Shakespeare’s London, based on a true - and truly ridiculous - story.
London, 1592. A great plague sweeps through the capital. When doctors flee the city in fear, a hero rises. His name is Simon Forman, “Doctor” of Astrology and Physick. Not only does he have the power to cure the sick, he can find their lost pets or even predict their futures, by reading the movements of the stars!
But when the plague ends, Forman’s problems begin. The real doctors return to London and they will stop at nothing to expose Forman as a fraud and bring him down. But Doctor Forman is determined to prove them wrong!
Read the stars - Guide Forman in casting and interpreting real astrological charts.
Solve hilarious problems - Consult on problems ranging from Elizabethan terror plots and foul diseases, to romantic entanglements and stolen pies!
Change Lives - Win your patients’ favour or ruin their lives. Advise 14 characters who return 5-7 times. Patients have their own ongoing stories which often overlap with each other.
Win a medical licence - Convince patients to write letters of recommendations. Collect enough letters to exchange them for a medical licence.
Fully voiced character dialogue - Sitcom-style comedy brought to life by a cast of over a dozen actors.
Sing along - Enjoy Renaissance-era music and sing along to each character’s theme song.
Casebooks come alive - Simon Forman’s cases are presented as a beautiful pop-up book. Turn pages to delve deeper into your patients’ stories.

Ratings and Reviews
Fantastic game, good value with dry humor
I don’t ever play IOS games but enjoy RPGs on PC. Was looking for something casual and fun to play remote, this was featured with only one 5star review. I got just over 4hrs playtime (most of which was hours sitting on the couch engrossed!) And I was really surprised by the quality as I was expecting a Shakespearean themed visual novel with a linear storyline. My choices felt like they had consequences and many times I wish I could have reloaded quick saves to see the alternate outcome. I guess I will just have to replay! Especially now I know to pay closer attention to detail ;)
I failed to achieve my license but now I’m motivated to replay to get it and see what happens. Great characters, audio and VO. I don’t really understand the modern style choice with Humphrey’s script and I think this would be lost on people playing from other cultures. Lots of intrigue and plot twists. Loved the subtle adult jokes and crude humor. Would love to see DLC for new characters or expansions in future, more than happy to pay for premium content. 5 stars!
Wonderful insight game of the History of Astrology!
Love the graphics and the cheeky music and lyrics (shades of Blackadder here!) and the interactive play of deductions and educated guesses of how astrology was initially used, (determining health, travel, business concerns etc). Recommended for an interesting gameplay and informative narratives. Well done!
*note* first found out about this game on Twitter!
hilariously funny
Love it. Pure genius. Played it with my 11.5 year old. Some parts needed a bit of explanation, but mostly it was just huge fun.
