"Hoshi wo Sagashite..." is an enjoyable non-violent Sci-Fi adventure game with a lower than average difficulty level compared to other adventures of that time. Surely nothing ground-breaking but good solid adventure fun with nice graphics.

Game description from RPGOne:

Hoshi wo Sagashite is a sci-fi text-adventure game for the Sega Mark III. It begins when the main character takes a vacation to visit his girlfriend and buys her an egg as a present. The egg hatches into a creature called a 'Mio'. You must discover what a Mio is, how to care for it. Along the way you discover the unhappy history of the Mio on this planet. The game uses a command selection system where you pick actions like 'view' or 'use', and point an arrow on the screen to select the target choice. It's a pretty good system for an adventure game. The game is worth playing for it's unconventional story that seems to include multiple endings.
