Our take on Solstice
Rather than placing its mystery in a familiar urban or contemporary setting, Solstice frames the investigation inside a grand settlement cut off by blizzards. The story also shifts attention from a single spectacular disaster toward personal troubles that accumulate into wider catastrophe.
What is Solstice?
Solstice is a dystopian mystery visual novel set in a grand city surrounded by frozen wilderness and violent blizzards.
The city is isolated from the outside world and inhabited by a small population of misfits who remain there through the winter. After a local man known for erratic behavior disappears, two people begin investigating: a doctor working under contract and a young woman who arrived with the final sled convoy. Their questions about the city's apparent magnificence lead toward the nature of the place itself, as personal troubles begin to connect with larger catastrophes.
