SOL is the fifth adventure game by me, Helm, and the second one that has any serious obligation towards the person downloading it to be an enjoyable gaming experience. The setting this time is confined sci-fi, toppled with the omni-present selective amnesia cliche. Download and see.

AGS Panel review for this game:
The AGS Review Panel has left a comment about this game:
Stark graphics, nicely animated in places. Very atmospheric, but muddy gameplay. Fun in places, but ultimately a letdown.

This is one of the most beautiful games I've played, but it olnly gives a glimpse of the magic of Stavropolous.

'Sol' is the name of our solar system. I can't believe people don't know that.

Superb game, if a little heavy on the ags community references, but that doesn't detract from the game if you don't get them, and if you do, more power to you!

Sweet intro, sweet graphics, sweet game.

SOL is a very solemn and atmospheric game, as well as beautiful.
I would like to compare it with Aaron's epic journey; both are mysterious, completely original and way too short.
