Laser grids and synth melodies are the beating heart of Solas 128: the words 'puzzles' and 'musique' dominate every discussion. Since launch, 94% of players have given the thumbs-up, including every single one who ventured past 25 hours.

What it's about: Tout a commencé par un bug dans les ténèbres. Par l'appel d'un ancien mécanisme au fonctionnement étrange. Un puzzle sous la forme d'un amalgame de sons de synthétiseurs, de néons brisés et de systèmes complexes entrecroisés.
