Ok so first things first, this is a fun and enjoyable read. I liked it. I have never actually seen any of the animes about magical girls (Sailor Moon and similar, I guess), but it's not a hard concept to get. Young girls, they do magic stuff. It's cute. They keep their magic identities a secret. Don't think too hard about it. It's fun. *However*, I have a beef with this as a game and it's the use of personality trait scores as determinants of success or failure in various endeavors. Use the skills or don't use anything at all. It's not fun to consistently choose the "rational" or "pragmatic" option and consistently fail a check because somewhere along the line my "idealism" score got too high. Use skill checks to determine success or failure and use personality checks to determine flavor text around events. It's bad game design and punishes players for making different choices in different situations.

About This Game
It’s tough fighting evil by moonlight and being an ordinary kid by daylight! Can you save your city’s dreams from monsters, halt a magical plague in its tracks, and still help your new club prepare for the best school festival ever?
“Star Crystal Warriors Go” is an interactive magical girl anime novel by Holly McMasters, with additional content by Brian Rushton. It's entirely text-based, 250,000 words and hundreds of choices, without graphics or sound effects, and fueled by the vast, unstoppable power of your imagination.
You were just an ordinary teenager at Northside High School—going to classes, hanging out with your friends, spending time with your dad, occasionally staying up too late watching your favorite TV show.
Then a talking animal unlocked your magical powers.
Now, thanks to the Star Crystal in your heart, you can transform into a Stellaria, a magical warrior tuned to the light of the constellations. You're one of the very few with the power to defeat the terrifying monsters that you call Nightmares. It's just in time, too, because Nightmares are creeping into your city, corrupting people's dreams to weaken the veil between the Dream Kingdom and the waking world and spreading a terrible sleeping plague. If the veil falls, the Dream Kingdom will engulf reality and the Nightmares - ruled by the terrifying Empress Nyx—will take over your world.
Fortunately, you're not alone. Your friends in the waking world will always stand by your side, and there are other Stellaria out there fighting against the Nightmares—some of whom might be closer than you think! How will you push the Nightmares out of your city? Will you strike them down with your magic, use your wits to turn them against each other, or heal the darkness in their hearts with the shining compassion in yours?
As you learn the truth behind the Stellaria and the Nightmares, you’ll also learn the truth about your own past: your own dreams are filled with visions of a crystal castle and a love that feels like a memory. But even with the very fabric of reality at stake, you still have to go to classes, keep your grades up, and plan the school festival. How will you balance it all?
Play as male, female, or non-binary; gay, straight, bi, or asexual.
Customize your outfit, weapon, and the color of your magic for a truly spectacular transformation into a Stellaria!
Wield the power of dreams! Fling sparkling colored light, animate objects, bend reality, and more!
Romance your loyal compassionate best friend, the new kid at school with a mysterious secret, or even a dangerously beautiful Nightmare!
Bond with your talking animal companion.
Uncover the mysterious past of the Dream Kingdom, cure a magical plague, and withstand the temptations of the Nightmares.
Plan the best spring festival that your school has ever seen—if you can negotiate with the Student Council!
Will you keep your heart’s Star Crystal full of hope and defeat the Nightmares, or will you fall to despair and join the darkness?

Kinda hard to rate this one... I'd give it a 6/10. I had high hopes for a magical girl IF and, yeah, fortunately I do see toooons of cool things here: - The dream concept isn't the most imaginative, though it works well and playing around with it was pretty cool - Getting to explore bits and pieces of the Dream Kingdom was equally entertaining - [spoiler]The "past life" bit, while predictable to a certain point, sure was interesting to explore[/spoiler] - Working on the school festival was fun and I enjoyed helping Morgan - I haven't played as a villain so I can't vouch for that, but I can guarantee the heroic path did feel very, well, heroic. I like to play as a goody two shoes, okay?! - Characters are a bit two-dimensional (I'll go into it!), though I like what they represented and most of them have some kind of development - I enjoyed the episodic nature of most villains and the main antagonist had some good set-up - Stats were very clear and stat-checks seem very very reasonable (....
A simple IF game, but one I had a lot of fun with. The game does encourage you to play to your character's strengths, which made sense to me and made for a compelling character in my opinion. I enjoyed the other characters we ran into, and I liked how you could even be a jerk to one specific character and get away with it, because he deserved it. (If you know, you know. If you don't, his name starts with C).
Decent, fun, quite sparkly - overall, it is exactly as advertised. I'd've liked to have see a few more other potential teammates - one of the hallmarks of the genre is having a team - but that's a bit nitpicky. If the description appeals to you, well, the game matches its description, so give it a shot!
I have been enjoying the hell out of this game. Well written and fun.
Straightforward and fun!
