Think Jet Set Stranding, and you’re some of the way there. Her journey to that discovery is one that entails zooming through a series of shattered worlds, grinding on rails (Rei wears boots of gravity-flouting funkiness) and doing battle with a string of vast, oily bosses. To her surprise, however, she discovers that the void may have a heart.
Similarly, Rei must plant something called a Starseed in the heart of the void. Rei is a Voidrunner, which, as far as I can tell, is like a professional roller skater, only padded with an array of responsibilities that puts her more in line with the crew of the Icarus II, from Danny Boyle’s Sunshine, whose job it was to detonate a bomb on the sun’s surface and blow it back to life. It is only a matter of time before it is pulled in, and we get the sense that that is exactly what this game is: a matter of time. At the edge of the frame, we see her planet, as it is licked by the impenetrable gloom.
At the start of Solar Ash, its heroine, Rei, floats on the cusp of a black hole.
