A downloadable game for Windows

Project Solus

You are Calihan, a courier turned survivor adrift in a dying galaxy. A newly formed nebula has swept across Solarian Space, mutating those it touches and cutting off communication between worlds. Your home is lost. Your lover is gone. But her voice still calls to you from the static, beckoning you somewhere far away.

Features:

  • Fixed camera angle gameplay inspired by the classic Resident Evils
  • Explore abandoned ships and stations for supplies, lore, and hidden threats
  • Psychological horror rooted in loneliness, loss, and fractured hope
  • CRT style visuals and low-poly art, like watching blackbox footage from a forgotten ship
  • Diegetic interfaces to help build immersion.

A Note From the Developer:

Hi there. My name is Atticus, and this is the first game I've ever published, and also my first time working in 3D.
Project Solus was developed as my final college project, and it's been a huge learning experience from start to finish. And now it has become passion project of mine that I have continued to work on in my freetime. I plan to continue working on this by adding new ideas and hopefully someday making it a full game with a beginning, middle, and end.
But Seriously, thanks for checking it out and let me know what you think. Also if you run into any bugs, please let me know and I'll try my best to get them fixed. All feedback is welcome.
I'll try my best to keep in touch with the comments and discussion boards below.

Also, Everything you see in game is subject to change. I might change, scrap, or completely rework somethings during development.

Be sure to check out the development logs at the bottom. I post about new updates and how the game's development is coming together.
