Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog ($11.99) - sci-fi mecha mystery that loudly, proudly wears its classic PC-98 influences.

No worries! The whole thing is circa 350,000 words. That's including the twenty variations of things like "Hmm, I don't need that table right now" and dialogue branches so it's not what you'll encounter in a single play through.

We'd love to explore different kinds of romances though, so hopefully in the future we'll have the chance to make games that do have romance options where you can develop a relationship.

Space Colony Studios @spacecolonystudios.bsky.social · 6d

Not tacky at all!

In Gun-Dog the player character has semi-established character traits and one of those is that they're in an existing relationship with Cassandra Quinn.

For Gun-Dog we wanted to explore a different kind of romance than what you typically get in games (the beginning).
