Hi, everyone! Just wanted to share the modern, space-themed RPG for the Game Boy I've been developing by myself over the last year called "SOLASTRA". It's available for download as a .gb rom at https://vorvy.itch.io! If you prefer physical carts, there is also a second wave of pre-orders for that currently open at SOLASTRA! Thanks so much for taking the time to check it out! I hope your experience playing it will be as meaningful as it was for me making it!

Story

You are an astronaut aboard the ship SOLASTRA, barreling through the universe at near light-speed. You're all alone, with only the sterile comforts of your ship, communications from back home, and your thoughts to occupy your time. An infinite void surrounds you, and a similar void lingers within you. In seven days, you will reach your destination. What will happen by then?
