About the Game

Solstride is a wholesome adventure about friendship and finding your heart. Rebuild a cozy sanctuary in a solarpunk world, where decorating unlocks upgrades for your companion-driven roguelike journeys. Your animal allies grow with you, gaining new abilities and synergies as your bonds deepen.

Dive into emotional, tactically rich gameplay.

Embark on a journey to build connections and uncover the secrets of a solarpunk world that isn’t as gentle as it first appears. What are the origins of the last sanctuary? What is any creature’s purpose for existing? How do you resolve conflict? And in the end, what does it mean to be human?

In Solstride, decorating enhances both the sanctuary's appearance and your experience. Every item you place in your sanctuary shapes your adventures, granting unique buffs in the roguelike exploration. Your sanctuary becomes your home and your strategy hub. Personalize, optimize, and experiment with the variety of different unlockable items.

Dive into a relaxed but rewarding roguelike turn-based combat, in which experimentation is encouraged, and failure does not have to be punishing - quick runs, steady progression, and a variety of unlockable abilities.

Grow friendships with adorable animal allies while exploring Solstride's world. Each companion offers unique abilities and synergy options. Bond with your companions, grow stronger together, and watch their personalities shine as you journey together.

An ever-present force threatens the sanctuary, maliciously intent on taking over. Protect yourself against the hostile presence by learning its patterns and uncovering its purpose. But it's not just about fighting back, it's about building a future worth protecting.
