What an awesome game that has me excited for another sequel in the future. Absolutely loved this game and it has perhaps one of the best stories in a game that I have played in a minute. I highly recommend trying it out if you are curious since it hits all the right spots for me. If you end up hating it feel free to blame me...

A visual novel adventure game in the vein of Snatcher and other PC-88/98 games. Don't expect anything terribly adventurous for the genre, like Scarlet Hollow or 1000xResist, but it does a very solid job of being the kind of homage it wants to be, with a memorable and well-written cast of characters dealing with a branching mystery in space. The ending is a bit abrupt, as it clearly sets up a future sequel/sequels, but the price is right and I'm very happy to see where the story goes next.

I loved a lot about this game but there's definitely a lot of frustrating aspects to the actual story. The overall aesthetic, music and direction for the game is fantastic. It goes back to the old PC-98 style visual novels that I find to be very enjoyable. Some of the best pixel art around for sure. The music is nice but gets very repetitive, which is understandable for the era they're going after. The mechanics of the point and click adventure parts can be tedious and frustrating, including the characters within the game providing "hints" that stall your progress. The story feels like a late 80s or early 90s sci fi OVA in the vein of 08th MS Team or similar but the characters are either annoying or straight up dumb (these military officers feel so incompetent that it's ridiculous)...it also feels like the story is very much incomplete. I liked it and would be interested in other works in the same universe....but this is very much a "wait for sale" kind of game imo 7.5/10

I enjoyed this. It's short (around six hours), so it doesn't overstay its welcome. There are a few neat surprises in the narrative and it ends in a way that leaves room for a sequel, but is satisfying. It works well on both PC and Deck. Key to Know: This is 99% a narrative experience you mostly read. There is limited animation. There are a few minor puzzles, but you can count them on one hand. There are a few key choices, but again, it's like 3 or 4 (and I only played once, so I'm not sure how much they all matter). If you like military science fiction, Robotech, that sort of thing, it's a good, quick read, err, play.

A cute little game that I thoroughly enjoyed my time with, although it isn’t perfect. My main gripe would be that the “multiple endings” tag is a little… generous? The actual ending is pretty much the same just with different epilogue text that takes into account choices you made. I guess I don’t know what else you would call this but multiple endings to me means multiple gameplay differing endings. There also aren’t very many opportunities to lose, I assumed the game would be way more hardcore about this. After my first playthrough I went back into it to check all the different ways I could die and there really aren’t many choices that make a difference. Most are either: Succeed gracefully Succeed awkwardly Despite both of those I believe the positives way outnumber the negatives. The style in general (art, music, etc) was executed perfectly. Also this game gets bonus points by having a girlfriend character that actually exists as a character and doesn’t like instantly die off or get kidnapped to provide motivation to the hero. Cassie is definitely the best part of this game. If you’re on the fence I definitely recommend picking it up. Costs the same as a movie ticket and is entertaining for three times as long. Looking forward to seeing more Stories from Sol™️. -Lieutenant Jackson, security officer
