Description

Search Of Light, from now SOL, is a steampunk / dark fantasy setting adventure and tower defense mechanics combined with village management, defined as adventure management.

We will get into the story from the perspective of the foreigner, the enigmatic character who must ascend through the levels of the underground to reveal the mystery hidden on the surface. And must do it relying solely on his ingenuity and the help of domestic robots, that still work as assistants for the remaining inhabitants of the underground.

Thanks to the combination of mechanics and setting, the Trigger The Monster team has put on the video game board one of the titles that will undoubtedly be on the wishlist of narrative-loving players, always caring about the challenging aspects of the video game progression. Creating an immersive experience that takes the player further than just fun.
