What is this?!? Explain yourself!

This is a roughly 15-minute demo for Sol and the Endless Orbit, a story-rich platformer/RPG hybrid. Currently featuring:

  • A not-quite-turn-based battle system. Navigate strategic options while avoiding real-time attacks!
  • Equippable abilities for yourself and your magic pencil. Swap them out anytime and try different combinations!
  • An expressive moveset that lets you twirl, dive, and flip to your heart's content!
  • Switch up the gameplay by controlling nearby objects!

The full game will someday be available as a paid release, and will include:

  • An intriguing story that spans multiple chapters! Stop the planet-destroying Lord Doomon, and learn more about him...
  • A new planet to explore in each chapter. Mythical islands and futuristic cities await!
  • Fun characters that follow you around, help you fight, and let you use cool abilities!

Install instructions

Windows: Extract the files from the ZIP. Keep both the EXE and PCK files in one folder. Click "Sol and the Endless Orbit.exe" to play. If a Microsoft Defender pop-up appears, click "More info" and then "Run anyway".

Mac: If you click the file, it might tell you that it can't be opened due to potential malware (this isn't a virus I swear). Close the pop-up, go to system settings and scroll down to "Privacy and security", and scroll to the bottom of that where it says "Sol and the Endless Orbit.app was blocked". There, it'll give you the option to open it, although you may have to enter your computer password first.
