Alright, bear with me since it has been a very long time and I can't get it out of my head. I can't for the live of me find what the title is. My memory may also be jumbled and mixed up so apologies in advance. Heck, I even forgot if this is anime or not, hentai or not and hesitate to ask here, but I think it's probably a manga and not a hentai either. I really wanted to read it again.

All I remember is:

• The world time is stopped but the time for the characters is not stopped (they still grow old)
• The ending is somewhat bittersweet as it follows a scene on the beach/sea view with a flock of birds that was once time-stopped, resumed flapping indicating that time has returned to normal
• The power to stop the time is prolonged by each use (or was it their proximity?)
• I forgot how both characters meet and this may come from other manga, but I remember it was also time-stop on a busy street and they notice each can still move

So I usually browse the internet at random and sometimes stumble upon some interesting games. Today as I was going to sleep however, I remember I saw a game that I cannot for the life of me find the name again. Not even in my search history (as I regularly wipe those). Can anyone help me find it again? Here is what I know:

• I didn't find it from steam. And if I remember it correctly, the developer doesn't publish it there either.
• The game website is quite "old" IMHO. Their website is styled like space with galaxy and stuff.
• The game features advertised on the very front page is freedom to become anything. Either a trader or even space mercenary
• I remember the screenshot of the game UI is like stellaris, with a star view, ship control and such
• I don't really remember if the game is online only or not. But most likely not

I know that seems very generic but I am really hyper focused on finding it and failing. I think I also found the game by recommendation somewhere on lemmy.

Edit: It is Starsector
