Solus Rex (2024) awakens as the last man on Earth, where the key to immortality lies in ancient rituals of becoming one with the Snake.
Solus Rex, the “Lonely King.” The last human left on Earth. The existential struggle between humans and nature is coming to an end. The Snake. One of the most enigmatic incarnations of eternal, mysterious Nature. The first of its kind crawled on the planet already 100 million years ago. There are legends about a snake standing up and becoming a human. But there are also legends about a human throwing themself down and turning into a snake. These ancient legends live deep in his memory: the echoes of forgotten spells, rituals performed in shadows, secrets of transformation. In order not to perish, humans must adapt… Lie down, and crawl wordlessly. Like a snake. And live forever.
