Astrologaster

About

In Astrologaster, you play as Simon Forman a 16th century astrologer and self-proclaimed doctor who reads star charts to solve problems ranging from love triangles to plagues. Players select birth details for clients generate horoscopes then choose interpretations that guide advice. Outcomes depend on blending celestial signs with a healthy dose of Elizabethan pseudoscience. The game mixes text based decision making with comedic dialogue as Forman balances ethics and showmanship. The humor shines through anachronistic jokes and Forman’s smug personality. While not a deep strategy title it offers a brisk 3, 5 hour experience with replay value from randomized charts. A small but vocal community praises its niche charm with one review calling it "astrology as absurdist theater." Its historical setting and witty writing appeal to fans of quirky narrative games without demanding prior astrology knowledge.
