ABOUT The Star Legation
Solar Echoes: The Star Legation is a Sci-Fi Visual Novel game with RPG elements, full of intriguing alien characters, bizarre foreign cultures, and interstellar conflict. Journey through space to gather and manage an alien crew, visit new worlds, negotiate with alien leaders, and even risk romance across the stars! Survival and success depends upon your choices and the reputation you've built among your alien crewmates. Can your diplomatic efforts with alien leaders lead to a peaceful alliance between all the races, or will you incite a massive interstellar war? Will your words bring unity, or chaos?
Build relationships with each of your alien crew on an adventure in space in this cinematic, choice-driven visual novel with RPG elements. Customize the skills of the protagonist, Trey Donovan, and make over 500 choices in this branching-path story with multiple, voice-acted endings that depend on the relationships you've built during your journey. Negotiate with powerful alien leaders to gain their trust, make crucial decisions as a starship commander, engage in choice-driven battles (optional), and pursue romance with either of 2 female human contacts.
Travel to new worlds and encounter bizarre alien creatures. Brave the dangers of space while managing a divided crew—some represent cultures that are actively at war with each other. Stand before powerful leaders and use diplomacy, persuasion, and cunning to unite them under the Interstellar Union.
But be careful, because many of your decisions influence your reputation with each crew member, the alien leaders, and your romantic interests. 3 main endings with 5 variations each depend on your choices and your reputation.
Can you unite all the alien races in an interstellar alliance? Will you win someone's heart along the way? Or will you meet with disaster by endangering your crew, yourself, or even doom an entire species? Use your chosen skills to find a path to success in this engaging and meaningful visual novel!

Reviews
Imaginative and exuberant, with strong characters and a large dash of humor. Be aware you'll want to save often, in case you misjudge a conversation or make a mistake in battle (though the battles can be set to auto-win if you prefer). The difficulty was well balanced, and the mystery was well done. Almost all the characters were truly delightful. I will quibble with the "Over 12 hours of gameplay, with additional hours in alternate routes and endings." My first playthrough took about eight hours, so I'm not sure how you can come up with twelve without counting alternate routes. Maybe if you're a slow reader? Regardless, I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and will be looking forward to any future ones by this developer.
It doesn't offer anything interesting enough for me to be able to justify the price
I was going to wait until I had finished the game to review it, but what the heck - I'm having a fun time :D If you like space opera-esque stories, then you'll love this visual novel. It's comforting how much it mirrors similar stories but with its own charm and flair. Each character feels like they have a personality, and it's not always clear where the story is going to take you! I'm lucky that I haven't fallen foul to my bad decision-making yet, but only time will tell as I continue... I recommend :)
A niche game, for scifi fans. The Star Legation is a very well written visual novel with interesting characters and a nicely constructed & described world. So if you are into scifi, I highly recommend to give this game a chance. Fingers crossed for further titles in this series!
