Solace State
Vibes: A fight-the-system friend simulator set in a 3D visual novel
Availability: 2023 on Windows and Xbox
Cyberpunk, the genre, has always been about the literal punks, people living under the heel of a monstrous, corporate-controlled society, depicting dense cities in which average people are just trying to get by in a world with as many threats as there are opportunities to maybe craft a life worth living. From the looks of things so far, Solace State gets that.
A 3D visual novel promising branching narratives and different endings, you’ll explore protagonist Chloe’s desire to connect with others in a maze of a surveillance society. Sounds a little too familiar, honestly.
If curling up with a Philip K. Dick novel or a reread of Neuromancer is your idea of cozy (it sure is mine), Solace State is one to keep on your radar.
