Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a seriously cool visual novel love-letter to retro anime and 80s Sci-Fi

I don't play many visual novels, but I might have to break that habit again soon with Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog because it looks and feels like playing through a classic Gundam Anime story. You can even try out a demo right now.

The game is directly inspired by retro anime and 80s Sci-Fi, a visual novel made in the spirit of classic PC-9800 titles and it really looks the part too. Developed by Space Colony Studios based in Wales, UK, they're a collection of independent artists, writers and developers working together to create the Stories from Sol anthology of games; a multi part, narrative focused series created to express their love of old school anime, retro sci-fi and interactive storytelling.
