Solarpunk Academy
A spiritual journey
to where the sun still sheds its light on.
Solarpunk Academy is a Visual Novel game about mental health, superpowers and a new way of life.
The game is about being an amateur mental health therapist in a school of superhuman teenagers in the year 2041. Through interactive storytelling and strategic conversations, the player will uncover each character’s traumatic memories, and help the patients overcome their fear.
Helping Superhuman Characters Overcome Trauma and Fear.
Every character in the game holds a supernatural power, after surviving a worldwide radioactive leakage years ago. Years later, they were assembled in Solarpunk Academy by Principal Jagger in the hope of making a change in the dystopian world.
Because of these superpowers and their family backgrounds, all four of them hide an extremely traumatic backstory that they don’t wish to tell. The player’s mission is to utilize strategies in conversations to uncover the truth under their disguises and hopefully help them overcome their traumas.

Game seems completly bugged.
I loved the experience! <3
This looks absolutely amazing!!! I like the detail on her blush and eyelashes
I'm very into solarpuk, also create a VR game with that theme. I like your game a lot, I could even support you financially if you have an open option like that.
Thanks! I'm recently working on my other projects, and the development on SA has been slow but steady.
I don't really need any financial support, but it would be cool to check out your Solarpunk project!
I'm working full-time job as programmer so don't have a lot of time to do side-project unfortualnely. I'm glad to share when it'll be something worth to show. But you gave me several good inspirations to implement.
Thanks for the compliment! My project focuses more on the personal and mental side but barely touches on the sustainable and anarchist perspectives. Solarpunk is quite a big topic, I recommend giving Solarpunk Magazine a look if you haven't heard of them!
Thanks for this magazine reccomendation! Haven't heard about it and it seems to filled with topics of my interests. The game we plan to develop focuses on exploring the world of Atlantis to find out the best ways to sustainable living (first part would be especially about dealing with psychosomatics ailments) so I can see our stuff seems to be pretty similar in certain aspects. I'm glad that the theme is being increasingly widespread:)
Can't wait to see what's next, good work !
I will keep you updated!
I am loving this game! Cant wait for new updates
Thanks Vianne, I'm slowly but consistently adding more parts to this project :D
