10 itemsAbout the Game
Explore a twisted world shaped by your shattered memories and uncover an ancient conspiracy intended to reshape the human mind. As a survivor of an apocalyptic catastrophe, you—Valeriano—must search for your loved ones amidst the ruins of your familiar hometown while confronting an indescribable cosmic tide.
Carve a bloody path through contaminated streets, reclaim your lost memories, and grow stronger with every death... until you reach the end of your redemption and face the unknown truth.
BUILD · Master Your Weapons, Disintegrate the Unknown Threat
In this 3D action roguelite rendered in Unreal Engine, you can seamlessly switch between ranged and melee attacks based on the tide of battle, manifesting your will into deadly blades and ammunition.
Each weapon features a unique combat style and combo system, which can be further enhanced by the abilities you acquire on your journey. Chain your attacks, upgrade your arsenal, and forge a path to survival amidst the relentless hunt of monstrous creatures.
CYCLE · Every Death Brings You Closer to the Truth
Every death pulls you back into an endless loop deep within your memories. With each attempt, collect memory fragments to permanently restore your fractured past and upgrade your stats to crush the abyssal creations standing in your way.
Gather hundreds of faint echoes that vanish upon death; influenced by your chosen weapons, they will help you craft a truly unique build. Die, adapt your strategy, and slowly comprehend this maddening world through repeated cycles.
STORY · A World Torn Apart by Cosmic Laws
An ancient organization hidden in the shadows of history triggered a global ritual known as the "Sole Salvation."
In an instant, humanity was overwhelmed by an unknown force: people's heads detached from their bodies, floating motionless in mid-air, silently gazing at a massive pillar of light tearing through the sky. The world fractured under incomprehensible cosmic laws, leaving behind shattered landscapes, distorted architecture, and fragments of reality severely corrupted by eerie presences.
You, a survivor who has crossed the boundary of life and death, are lost in this nightmarish, unstable reality. You must traverse the corrupted memories of your hometown, unravel the true intent behind this catastrophe, and, within the abyss of your mind, confront the responsibilities and truths you have spent a lifetime evading.
ME & US · About the Developer
This is the debut title from METEORA, an Italian indie studio founded by a solo developer. Much like Valeriano who must face the cosmic tide alone in the game, the creation of Sole Salvation has been a solitary yet unyielding journey of exploration.
Thank you to every player who has cast their gaze upon this world. I look forward to continuing this journey alongside you in future updates!
