An indie graphic adventure / visual novel game in the style of PC-98 titles. Players take on the role of a ship's security officer in deep space near Jupiter as a deadly mystery threatens the entire crew.
Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a brilliant and engaging visual novel with clear inspiration taken from mecha anime, manga, and video games from the 70s, 80s, and 90s. Despite the almost overwhelming nostalgia the visuals and music may invoke, the title manages to stay fresh and exciting all the way through.
If you've ever wanted to pretend to be the chief security officer on a random Star Trek episode, this is the game for you! If you've somehow never wanted that, it's still a great story with endlessly charming characters.
Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a love letter sci-fi anime from the last century. Fans of the retro will definitely be pleased with the story and the visuals, too. However, it will definitely not please them with its ending, which opens the door for a necessary sequel.
Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a tightly paced, retro-styled visual novel that lays a solid foundation for a saga, shining through strong narrative despite its linearity.
I’m impressed by Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog. It’s a great story with fun twists, lots of incredible art, and a few simple but rewarding puzzles. I never felt too encumbered or lost running around the JFS Gun-Dog. And the story culminated in a very interesting way that had me excited for future entries in the series.
