I uploaded a release tarball to BitBucket.

The dependencies are... short by a lot. I really want to play this game, but, first I had to install libavbin0, following the errors when I tried to sleep. Now the game just crashes at the end of what I assume is the first dream sequence, with no errors, just... the window disappears.
Good catch on libavbin0. I thought I had removed that dependency when I set the music off by default. I will upload a fixed version tonight.
I guess it wasn't as clear as I had hoped but there is only 1 dream sequence per runthrough of the game. If you made it through 3 stages and finished with a fade out, you completed one ending.
I patched the code to more completely disable music by default and uploaded a new tarball.

You should now be able to run the game without libavbin as long as you don't turn on the music (which you shouldn't anyway because I was just testing it and it doesn't really fit.)
I still need to add a credits page to make the end more clear, though.
Fixed a few things and added a credits stage at the end. I don't have anything left on my todo list.

instead of imgur could you use some other host for screenshots, photobucket comes to mind as well as imageshack.us both of which are good. With imgur I am never able to see the screenies.
Hi malachite, sadly does not run on OS X Lion due to a problem with the included Pyglet: http://code.google.com/p/pyglet/issues/detail?id=438
I did all work on the game in Linux(Ubuntu 12.04) with no testing for Windows or OS X. I have tested it on Windows since the release and it works but I don't have access to a Mac for testing. Once pyglet 1.2 is released, I will probably merge my changes and track down a test Mac.
Hi again! I replaced the embedded Pyglet with 1.2.1 alpha 1 (and last night updated to Mountain Lion, anyway) and I'm happy to report the game starts up, and runs great.
I ended it with not fitting in. hehehe
My changes for pyglet mostly have to do with the draw ordering. After checking back through the code, it looks like fullscreen mode is the only thing that will be screwed up without them. I'm glad you were able to get it running.
Fixed some bugs and added some graphical tweaks. This will probably be the last release of Solitude.
Note: Nothing new for people who have played the game already.
