Wednesday July 25th, 2019 – Manchester, England: Team Gotham and Merge Games are delighted to announce that Solo: Islands of the Heart, the colorful and thought-provoking puzzle experience, will be released on July 30th (US) and July 31st (EU) via PlayStation 4, and is now available to pre-order via the Nintendo eShop and Microsoft Store!

Solo is a game about love. About love as fuel, the force that drives us.

It is a universal feeling, but each of us experiences it in a different way. Individually, it holds different meanings depending on a variety of factors such as culture, gender, sexuality or traumas. That’s why Solo explores this theme in an introspective way, to have the players identify and reflect on their own experiences.

Solo is a contemplative puzzler set on a gorgeous and surreal archipelago. Reflect on your loving relationships by exploring contemplative, dream-like islands.

• Reflect on love’s place in your life with a personal and introspective branching narrative.
• Combine blocks with different properties offering multiple solutions for most puzzles.
• Contemplate and explore a living world: take photos of the charming, colourful islands amidst tranquil tunes or play the guitar for cute creatures.

Nature and contemplation are also a huge part of Solo – you could feed the animals or just sit on a bench and take the time to think. After all, it’s up to you – Solo provides you with the opportunity to explore at your own pace.

The world is divided into archipelagos, and each archipelago is formed by small islands. Each island represents a unique puzzle the sailor will have to solve before getting to the Sleeping Totems and awakening them to answer a question about love and relationships. Using boxes, each with different properties and behaviors, the sailors can build their own paths to the Sleeping Totems on each island.

However, as is the case with love, most puzzles offer no unique solution.

Solo: Islands of the Heart releases on Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Xbox One soon. The Xbox One version will be released on the 31^st July, and the Nintendo Switch version will be available on the 1^st August. Solo will be coming to PlayStation 4 on July 30th (US) and July 31st (EU). The game will be priced at £14.99/ $19.99/ €19.99.

The Switch version launches with a promotional 20% discount!
