'SOLAS' Announced - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on May 5, 2020 @ 11:27 a.m. PDT

SOLAS 128 is a synthwave-infused puzzle game that utilizes synchronized rhythmic movement to unravel a sprawling world of challenges.

SOLAS is a synthwave-infused puzzle game about directing pulses of light through a dark and damaged landscape. Synchronize the rhythmic movement of sprawling, neon clockwork as you learn to understand the rules of this broken world and the strange glyphs that control it. SOLAS is made up of a single, constantly simulated, seamless world. The initial pulses emitted from the logo flow through every puzzle. Each room solved serves as a smaller piece of a greater whole. Every gate opened unlocks new paths to explore.

Designed from the ground up to be colorblind-friendly by default, SOLAS' distinctive glyphs also form the basis of its unique aesthetic, while contrast sliders allow players to tune the game to their specific needs. Furthermore, SOLAS communicates through its design and abstract symbolism, inviting players of all languages to enjoy the same experience.

Explore the dark enough and maybe, just maybe, you'll discover how to fix it...


Solo developer, Tom Methven said: ”SOLAS began life as this mad little 'what-if' idea that I wasn’t sure would even work. To be able to announce this project, and that I'm collaborating with such awesome folk, is exciting and unreal in equal measure!"

Key Features:

  • Over 150 interlocking puzzle screens
  • A beautiful synth-inspired visual style with a story where music powers everything
  • Designed from the ground up to be colorblind-friendly
  • A seamless world to navigate - changes in one room will affect those that follow
  • An original synth/chillwave soundtrack
  • Hidden areas to discover, and secrets to decypher
  • No text or dialogue: the visuals and music speak for themselves

SOLAS is in development for PC (Steam), scheduled for 2020.
