About The Solus Project Game

Experience the thrilling and immersive world of The Solus Project, a single player exploration adventure with survival elements, as you uncover the mysteries of a mysterious alien planet and survive its harsh climate.

The Solus Project is a captivating single player exploration adventure game that incorporates survival elements. Set on a mysterious planet, it serves as the spiritual successor to the highly acclaimed 2010 PC Gamer Action/Adventure Game of the Year, The Ball.

In The Solus Project, players embark on a thrilling journey as they find themselves on a distant planet after Earth has been destroyed. As humanity's last hope, you are tasked with scouting this alien planet as a potential location for a new colony. However, disaster strikes when your ship is destroyed upon approaching the planet, leaving you alone and stranded.

With your team members dead and your equipment gone, you must find a way to communicate and seek help. As you explore the desolate planet, you uncover dark secrets buried deep within its depths. Survival becomes crucial as you navigate the harsh climate and try to unravel the mysteries of Gliese-6143-C.

The game features a vast and uncharted planet waiting to be explored. Delve into enormous cave systems and tombs, uncovering over 200 hidden secrets along the way. The levels in the game are meticulously handcrafted, with 10 large levels to explore, including 5 islands and 5 tombs/caves.

The atmosphere in The Solus Project is rich and dynamic. The game features an alien day and night cycle, as well as a dynamic weather system that takes into account factors such as temperature, wind, humidity, and cloud coverage. The game even handles ocean tides, with plants responding to the changing climate. Storms and earthquakes occur, adding to the immersive experience.

Survival is a key aspect of the game, as players must endure extreme climate conditions, including tornadoes, storms, meteors, lightning, and the dark secrets that lie beneath the planet's surface. Failure to survive means the end of mankind, so players must scavenge for useful items and rebuild a communication device to save humanity.

The Solus Project also offers virtual reality (VR) support for both the Vive and Oculus platforms. Players can explore the vast world from start to end in VR, making for an even more immersive experience. The game supports room space and motion controllers, allowing players to interact with the environment in a realistic way.

Depth is another standout feature of The Solus Project. The game incorporates various realistic elements, such as plants that grow and rot, ocean tides influenced by the moon, and your character's body responding to environmental factors like getting wet or lack of sleep. There are also hundreds of upgrades to be found, as well as secret areas within secret areas within secret areas.

As players progress through the game, they become the savior of mankind. Your death would mean the end of humanity, so it is crucial to scavenge for resources and rebuild a communication device to contact home. The game also encourages players to embrace their inner pioneer, archaeologist, and astronaut as they explore the mysteries of the alien planet. However, the harsh world of The Solus Project leaves no room for mistakes, as a single misstep can cost you your life.

The gameplay in The Solus Project is linear, with a clear beginning and end. It is a singleplayer adventure that spans 10 large levels. However, players have the freedom to scale the game to their liking, from a super hardcore experience to a more relaxed stroll on the alien planet. The game offers little hand-holding and lacks obvious enemies, creating a sense of solitude and allowing players to fully immerse themselves in the experience.

The game pays homage to old-school games from 10 to 20 years ago, featuring complex level layouts, numerous secret areas, and keys to unlock doors. The inclusion of underground environments and a game console that can be accessed with the ~ key further adds to the nostalgic feel.

Exploration is a core aspect of The Solus Project, with hundreds of hidden objects scattered throughout the world. Secret areas can be as large as modern "next-gen levels," leaving players questioning just how deep the rabbit hole goes. Puzzles also play a significant role in the game, challenging players to solve environmental puzzles left by an ancient alien civilization, similar to the developer's previous titles, Unmechanical and The Ball.

The planet Gliese-6143-C, on which the game is set, is depicted as a harsh and barren world covered by a vast ocean. Days on the planet reach scorching temperatures of over 45°C/113°F, while nights plummet to freezing temperatures below -30°C/F. The planet is comprised of an archipelago of five islands, connected by a system of caves that must be traversed to travel between them. Wreckage from your crashed spaceship is scattered across the planet, offering additional resources and clues. Megalithic tombs are also scattered throughout the planet, indicating that you are not the first intelligent being to set foot on Gliese-6143-C.

The Solus Project was released on June 7, 2016. It was developed by Hourences and Grip Games, and published by Teotl Studios. The game falls under the genres of Adventure, Indie, Simulation, and Virtual Reality.
