Project Solus (Demo)
A lonely journey through dying stars and fading memories
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.
A Glimpse into Project Solus
This demo offers a first descent into the psychological horror and isolation of Project Solus. Combining elements of post-apocalyptic sci-fi and immersive narrative, the game explores the creeping dread of solitude and the quiet terror of what might be left behind.
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
Ambient audio design to deepen 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.
I built this entirely solo — writing the story, modeling the environments, coding the systems, and designing every eerie little corner of the game. It's a small slice of a much bigger idea, but I hope it gives you a taste of what’s to come. If the future permits it.
But Seriously, thanks for checking it out and let me know what you think.
Also I wasn't able to change the game's icon from the default Godot icon. I kept running into problems with the image size of the icon.
Also if you run into any bugs, please let me know and I'll try my best to get them fixed.
