''Hoshi wo Sagashite...'' (''Searching for the Stars'', known as ''Story of Mio'' in a fan translation) is an AdventureGame for the UsefulNotes/SegaMasterSystem released in 1988. In it, you play as Roy, a pilot who returns to his home planet and buys an egg from a shady guy as a gift for his girlfriend Lila. Not long after she receives the gift, the egg breaks, revealing a bear-like creature with wings that's part of the seemingly extinct mio species. This begins a journey from planet to planet to discover what it's about.

The game's interface consists of a graphics window in the top-left corner, eight commands in the top-right (Move, Look, Talk, Take, Hit, Eat, Item), and a text box with a small portrait of the speaking character in the bottom-right.
----
* BlushSticker: The fruit vendor has noticeable pink circles on her cheeks.
* DoesNotLikeSpam: According to Roy, Lila hates Illum pickles.
* DoubleEntendre: Use the Eat command on a woman and she'll think Roy wants to "eat her up". Mari says "Ready to eat [[SayItWithHearts 🤍]]", Roy then thinks "I already have a girlfriend..."
* IWasQuiteTheLooker: The woman in the forest comments she used to be quite a peach if the "Eat" command is used on her.
* MaleGaze: In-universe with Roy. If he tries to look at Lila's chest rather than her face, she'll say it's embarrassing and tell him not to stare like that.
* MultipleEndings: Outside of the Game Overs, there's a slight variation to the ending dialogue depending on whether Roy manages to [[spoiler:keep the Neo Crystal with him.]]
* PasswordSave: The game is saved on an 18-character password shown after pressing "Quit Game".
* SayItWithHearts: Female characters tend to use a heart when speaking.
* ShoutOut:
** Two women selling space tour tickets mentions the planets [[VideoGame/PhantasyStarI Motavia and Palma]].
** Talking to the painting in Lila's house has Roy mention that he still hasn't beaten ''[[VideoGame/LorettaNoShouzouSherlockHolmes Loretta's Portrait]]''.
* SingleTargetSexuality: If Roy looks at another girl, even some of the prettier ones like Chao at the bar, he may comment that Lila is cuter.
* ThirdPersonPerson: Mari in the market states "Mari remembers" if Roy talks to her after being there once.
* VideoGameCrueltyPotential: You can use the Hit command on just about anyone. Sometimes Roy won't do it, though.
* WouldntHitAGirl: In most cases, trying to use the Hit command on a female character makes Roy comment that he couldn't hit a girl.
