The latest trailer for Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog features new gameplay footage from the anime inspired point and click adventure slated for winter.
The Nintendo Switch and PS5 releases will also receive a Starship Edition that will be bundled with a concept artbook and sleeve.
The game is a love-letter to classic PC-9800 titles and as such features a green-screen aesthetic to retain an authentic vintage 80's feel. Part visual novel, part point and lick adventure, the game relies on sharp writing and well defined characters to carry the player into a retro-future space adventure:
From the elegant yet distant Captain Bartermews, to the bubbly Lieutenant Commander Cassandra Quinn, to the assertive and domineering Chief Mackenzie Cathays, The Gun-Dog features an extensive cast of characters for you to meet. Each crew member has a distinct personality, role and history. Get to know them and their quirks and decide whether to work with or against them to unravel the mystery that lies at the story’s heart.
Synopsis:
War is over. War is just beginning.
Planetary Calendar 214. Four years have passed since the end of the Solar War. Our protagonist, scarred from the loss of his crewmates in the war, is re-assigned to the Jovian patrol ship Gun-Dog as it’s dispatched with orders to investigate mysterious signals coming from the edge of Jovian Space.
Unknown to the Gun-Dog’s crew, a new danger looms deep in the ocean of stars, threatening not just the Gun-Dog but all her crew.
Take on the role of the Gun-Dog's security officer as you attempt to save the ship from an unknown assailant whilst navigating the paranoia, conspiracies and vendettas that break out amongst the crew. As camaraderie falls apart can you overcome the challenges that await?
