The game was released for PlayStation 4 in October 2018 in Japan, and internationally by Spike Chunsoft in August 2019 with an additional Windows version.

The idea came the producer Fuyuki Hayashi, who wants to replicate the feelings where one can draw shining things (akin to a 'star') in a sad event that also makes one 'cry'.

[9] Pre-order bonuses for the game included an extra in-game costume, special soundtrack CD and a replica film sheet of the opening animation.

[25] Lucas White of PlayStation LifeStyle gave the game a 8/10, praising the story elements which tackles mental health in a realistic way, as well as the visual style which complements the story, but noted the low depth of the combat system, as well as the poor equipment system, which detracts from his experience.
