''Star-Crossed Myth'' is a VisualNovel RomanceGame by VoltageInc for iOS and Android devices. On the night before the Tanabata festival, a young woman makes a wish on a shooting star - and suddenly finds herself confronted by six unbelievably handsome young men who claim to be gods of the stars.

These princes of the stars have been cast out of heaven as punishment for their sins, and now this otherwise ordinary young woman is the only one who can redeem them. Once her wish has been granted, however, the god that she's chosen will have to return to the heavens.

The gods have everything, except for love. But if a god falls in love with a mortal, how will their love story end?

----
!!The visual novel contains examples of the following tropes:

* AllPartOfTheShow: When a group of fabulously handsome, strangely-dressed men appear at the planetarium's Star Festival event and one of them makes it rain stardust, onlookers take it as a performance being staged for the event - even the protagonist's coworker Hiyori, who as an employee of the planetarium should know that no such thing was planned.
* MakeAWish: The protagonist makes possibly the vaguest wish imaginable for the Star Festival: "I wish that something wonderful would happen."
* {{Tanabata}}: Translated in the English localization as "Star Festival." The plot kicks off the evening before Tanabata, and after an initial encounter that she writes off as a dream, the six gods approach the protagonist again during a Tanabata event being put on at the planetarium where she works.
* WesternZodiac: The six love interests are presented as gods who rule over six of the twelve signs of the zodiac: Leo, Aquarius, Taurus, Pisces, Gemini, and Scorpio.
* WhatBeautifulEyes: The gods claim that the protagonist has stars in her eyes.
