Stella Glow

Gameplay is divided into different areas, free time and battle time. During either, players have the ability to purchase items and fight random monsters, but there are certain things that can only be accomplished via free time and battle time. In free time players are given three opportunities to build relationships with their teammates, perform odd jobs, or explore the surrounding area. They are also given the opportunity to "tune" the witches, a process that becomes necessary when personal strife would prevent the player from increasing their relationship with the respective witch.

Doing any of these things will cause time to pass and the extent to which a player develops a relationship can impact the game's ending. Engaging in battle time will progress the game's story. Battles are turn based and the extent of a character's abilities can depend greatly on how close Alto is to the person, as a closer relationship or friendship can allow the character to unlock various abilities.

A witch, Hilda, has been crystallizing people all over the country. Alto, an amnesiac, must unite the other witches and have them sing the Anthem that will undo Hilda's efforts. Alto can tune and amplify the witches' songs. The witches' powers stem from Qualia crystals.

Alto sets out with the Regnant Knights, led by their captain, Klaus, to search for the remaining witches. Along the way, they are harassed by Hilda and her followers, who attempt to assassinate the witches and claim that they are trying to protect the world in doing so. In some of these battles, Alto and the witches are assisted by Angels, alien beings that are hostile to Hilda. Eventually, Alto unites the witches, they sing the Anthem, and the crystallized people recover, but Angels attack the capital. Klaus reveals he is in league with the Angels, and he is Xeno, a companion of the ancient hero Elcrest.

Imageepoch trademarked the name Stella Glow in August 2014. The game was designed as a celebration to commemorate a decade of the company's history. The game was initially planned to be self-published by Imageepoch, but publishing rights went to Sega instead. The game's soundtrack was written by Shunsuke Tsuchiya and Yasunori Mitsuda.
