Our take on SOLAS 128
Its defining structure is a connected puzzle space where changes in one room can alter rooms that follow, making progression depend on relationships between screens rather than isolated solutions.
What is SOLAS 128?
SOLAS 128 is a puzzle game built around redirecting rhythmic pulses of light.
Players rotate and move mirrors to link sources, open nearby puzzles, and alter the route through a connected machine. Pulses can collide, combine into new colours, change direction, and interact with filters, prisms, glitches, and other components. Some objects and pulses can move between puzzle screens. The game contains over 150 linked screens, hidden areas, and secrets, with no text or dialogue. Its neon visual style and synthwave soundtrack are synchronized throughout the experience. Glyph shapes, adjustable contrast settings, and mechanics that do not rely only on colour support colourblind play.
