I like imagining what a newcomer to the
Solar Echoes game might wonder about, and after running countless
game demos at conventions, I think I have a fair idea. Gamers often
like to know the setting of the game they're playing, and I've found
myself explaining in a few quick sentences the following details: The
Solar Echoes races each discovered faster-than-light (FTL) speed
technology around the same time, began exploring beyond their home
planets, and eventually discovered each other. Some had peaceful
exchanges and engaged in limited trade, while others responded with
hostility and engaged in war. Eventually, the Interstellar Union was
formed, and the ISU brought peace and unity among the races, though
the Union Guard was established to keep that peace. Regarding the
visual novel, I felt that the early portion of this time period was
the perfect place to begin...
As seven alien races struggle to co-exist in an uneasy alliance, the Inter-Stellar Union sends Union Guard agents on missions to preserve the crucial balance. These specialized operatives must do what regional security cannot, dealing with smugglers, pirates, terrorists, and even greater challenges in order to bring stability to a universe that needs it desperately. Without the Union Guard, the races will not be prepared to face a looming alien threat they can only hope to defeat together.
