Engineer Jack Leary responds to a routine alarm. Upon arriving at a dormant Fort Solis he becomes unnerved by the lack of any staff at the base. With storm warnings imminent he heads inside to make contact. As the night grows longer, events escalate, spiral out of control and the mystery of what happened to the crew begins to reveal itself. The storms arrive, limiting Jack’s escape as he looks to hold out until morning arrives.

Utilizing the power of Unreal Engine 5, Fort Solis looks to deliver a high-fidelity experience designed to completely immerse the player in the cast and their long night. With performances from Roger Clark, Troy Baker and Julia Brown, Fort Solis looks to deliver emotion, fear, empathy and much more with every chapter.

Supporting the core narrative are additional instances of story such as audio logs, surveillance footage or past of present events. Accompanying those are video logs recorded by all crew detailing the events before and perhaps even after that night the alarm was triggered at Fort Solis…

The skeleton of Fort Solis is built above and below ground. The base contains a variety of locations each with their own surface and sub surface levels. Players will be able to explore the isolated storm bearing surface, the creepy service tunnels absent of any light or the multiple departments that help Fort Solis function on a day-to-day basis such as Engineering, Medical and Communications.

As the story unfolds locations can easily be revisited for additional story context or continue to serve as a backdrop to the fate that awaits Jack with each passing hour.

Can Jack escape with what he has discovered and more importantly, his life?

Developer Fallen Leaf in partnership with Dear Villagers revealed that Fort Solis is coming to PS5, PC/Mac on August 22, 2023.

To commemorate this announcement, the developer has put together a new Welcome to Fort Solis trailer, offering a tour of the titular mining station, ranging from its barracks, to its labs, to its greenhouse. Much care was taken to create a facility that could believably host a crew, yet remain coolly indifferent enough to drive one mad. Fort Solis is the product of corporate industry, a massive and inhospitable base set amidst the blood red wasteland of the Martian desert.

“With Fort Solis we wanted the setting to be a character,” said James Tinsdale, Game Director at Fallen Leaf. “Sci-fi horror is host to many of cinema’s greatest, most chilling settings. Like Alien’s Nostromo or Solaris’ titular vessel, we wanted Fort Solis to create its own hostile tone, a derelict mining station barraged by a sand storm. The environments in Fort Solis are integral to the story we’re telling, so bringing it to life was among our top priorities.”

Key Features:

• Key Sequences: Huge narrative moments that are fully playable with multiple outcomes. Each containing actions that have story-changing consequences.
• Immersive Storytelling: High fidelity world aiming to be as immersive and captivating as the performances of our cast.
• Explore Fort Solis: One large base location encompassing over 9 individual structures, all containing surface and sub-surface levels. Players can play on the surface of Mars or simply progress by remaining below the surface. The choice is theirs!

 Fort Solis comes to PS5 and PC (Steam) on August 22, 2023.
