SolCycle

SolCycle is about PRIV-8, a renowned archaeologist and professor who travels in search of a mysterious artifact after being laid off due to budget cuts. PRIV-8 becomes trapped in a time-loop and must navigate a community’s bartering culture while continuing the search. The artifact’s purpose remains a mystery until you obtain it.

A post-human world

In this solarpunk world, plant-powered robots worship the soil and have built a civilization that values trade over monetization. You meet community members including a priestess from a religious order, a shady merchant and a well-regarded mailman. Segfaults reset the time-loop; you navigate each one and return with more knowledge.

Characters and places

You can interact and trade with three animal-themed characters, and play with small fruit-themed beings called roros. Locations have distinct themes and original music.
