Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a 2025 retro visual novel developed by British indie game developer Space Colony Studios and published by Meridiem Games, PM Studios, and Astrolabe Games. It was released for the PlayStation, Windows PCs, and the Nintendo Switch in February 2025. Astrolabe Games and Meridiem Games had localized and published the game internationally. The game was heavily inspired by Japanese PC-9800 adventure games.
Players control a lieutenant in the Jovian navy, who was recently recruited as a security guard for the Gun Dog ship. Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog had received generally positive reviews from critics upon its release.
Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a visual novel. Like most visual novels, inputs by the players are limited to progressing dialogue. It is inspired by earlier PC-9800 titles.[1][2] Players are able to navigate to various locations on the ship, or talk with the different crew members on board.[3][4]
Unlike usual visual novels with multiple routes, the game features branching story paths that all lead back to one ending.[5]
