Solomania [Alpha Demo]

✦  "Act like one."  ✦

[ G x B ]

SOLOMANIA is a narrative-driven visual novel drama about flawed heroes and their collateral damage.

You are Astra, a hero and a menace. Nobody asks questions as long as the job is done. That has always been enough, until now.

Now, the higher ups are... uncomfortable with your latest actions. They demand someone else keeps you in check. Your only choice is another hero, and the only heroes left are alone for a reason.

To clear your good name, take on the task of investigating a strange civilian report deep in the dark woods. Sounds easy, right?
