One Hundred Views of The Gun-dog: The Captain's Quarter

Fellow Crewmates! Today, we continue introducing the Gundog and her crew. First, were excited to share a preview of another soundtrack:

Darkness And Deliberation


https://youtu.be/QFjViwDpvuE * The full version of the track will be available as part of the OST after the game releases. Those who have played the demo will be very familiar with this track. It accompanies you when the Gundog experiences an unknown malfunction, causing a complete power outage. Here, we revisit the tense feeling of groping in the dark to find a way out.

Captain's Quarters


The Captain's Quarters, being a private space, are rarely accessed by anyone other than the captain. Although some officers use this space for discussions, consultations, and other informal meetings, Merys Bartermews, the captain of the Gundog, is clearly not one of them. Crew members seldom see her outside the bridgeor more accurately, they rarely see her at all, even on the bridge, as most duties are managed by the first mate.
The Captain's Quarters on the Gundog consist of a bedroom, bathroom, and office, which is a fairly standard configuration in the military, but it is much more luxurious compared to the rooms of other crew members. Captain Bartermews' room appears unremarkable: a star map of the Wooden Star Sector hangs on the wall, various documents are piled up, and a bottle of whiskey is always on the desk. Although alcohol is technically contraband on board, many captains secretly bring some aboard, one of the few privileges they enjoy.

Captain Merys Bartermews


Many captains enjoy recounting war stories from their past, but Captain Bartermews is the opposite. She rarely speaks of her past, almost like a fresh graduate from the officer academy. However, many crew members know that she survived the last war in its entirety.
Generally, surviving officers are a scarce resource after a war and are rarely assigned to lightweight, high-speed patrol ships like the Gundog. As for why Captain Bartermews has chosen to serve on the Gundog, only a few senior officials might know. Stay tuned for more insights into the Gun-dog and her crew!

War is over. War is just beginning.

Planetary Calendar 214. Four years have passed since the end of the Solar War. Our protagonist, scarred from the loss of their crewmates in the war, is re-assigned to the Jovian patrol ship Gun-Dog as it’s dispatched with orders to investigate mysterious signals coming from the edge of Jovian Space.

Unknown to the Gun-Dog’s crew, a new danger looms deep in the ocean of stars, threatening not just the Gun-Dog but all her crew.

Take on the role of the Gun-Dog's security officer as you attempt to save the ship from an unknown assailant whilst navigating the paranoia, conspiracies and vendettas that break out amongst the crew. As camaraderie falls apart can you overcome the challenges that await?

The Game - A love letter to retro anime and 80s Sci-Fi

Stories from Sol: The Gun-Dog is a visual novel adventure in the spirit of classic PC-9800 titles. Space Colony Studios strives to create an "era-accurate" game that exudes retro vibes in every way, from the text to the visual effects. As the Jovian patrol ship sails into the darkness among the stars, the players will feel like they are on an adventure in an 80s Sci-Fi as they solve the mystery they find themselves in.

The Story – A new threat emerges from the void.

Humans have long since freed themselves from the grasp of gravity, but they are still unable to escape the hold of war.

It’s year 214 of the Planetary Calendar. Four years have passed since the end of the Solar War and an uneasy peace persists throughout the solar system. The Jovian patrol ship Gun-Dog is sent on a reconnaissance mission to investigate mysterious signals coming from the edge of Jovian space. What starts as a routine assignment quickly escalates into a battle for survival as an unknown threat terrorises the crew.

The Gameplay – Investigate. Interact. Analyse. Advance.

Utilising traditional point-and-click adventure mechanics, during your time on the Gun-Dog, you can navigate various locations on the ship, examine the details of the richly realised backgrounds or talk with the different crew members on board. You will need to listen closely to the characters' words to reveal important clues or duplicitous intentions and keep your eyes peeled for key items and interactive elements in the backgrounds that you can use to advance the story.

The Place - Adventure in a entirely explorable ship!

The main stage of the first instalment in the "Stories from Sol" series, as the Jovian patrol ship Gun-Dog heads into deep space it serves as the setting for the game’s story. It has been exhaustively realised. Rich and evocative descriptions of the ship, including the constant rumble of the engine room, the bustle of the bridge, the silence of space pair with an extensive range of scenes that have been meticulously designed and animated in detail to deliver an immersive experience. Inspired by the best that anime has to offer the ship even features "Armoured Frames", mechanised, human shaped, weapons of war.

The Characters – Get on board with the crew of the Gun-Dog !

All stories are about people and the cast of “The Gun-Dog” bring the story to life, so much so that their charm and charisma convinced the team at Astrolabe Games to board the Gun-Dog and sign up to be the publisher. From the elegant yet distant Captain Bartermews, to the bubbly Lieutenant Commander Cassandra Quinn, to the assertive and domineering Chief Mackenzie Cathays, “The Gun-Dog” features an extensive cast of characters for you to meet. Each crew member has a distinct personality, role and history. Get to know them and their quirks and decide whether to work with or against them to unravel the mystery that lies at the story’s heart.
