The students at DigiPen never cease to amaze me. . . . I highly recommend you check this one out.

Geoff Gibson, diygamer.com

This game is an overall, stunning experience and, in my opinion, on the same level as a game like Flower.

Peter Boyle, 1-Up

It was hands down the best game I played at this year's IndieCade.

Billy Shibley, Machinima

Solace, in addition to being a marvelous work of art in its own right, is a lesson to all game designers of what games have the potential to be.

Derek Yu, TIG Source

Hands down, Solace has got to be one of the most staggeringly beautiful titles I have ever seen.
