Fort Solis has you assume the role of engineer Jack Leary, as he spends the longest night of his life on an isolated mining base on Mars. Explore Fort Solis station at your own pace, gathering clues from its bunkers, labs, crew quarters, and the harsh, stormy surface to solve the mystery of what happened to its missing crew.

Utilizing the power of Unreal Engine 5, Fort Solis offers an intricately immersive setting in the deepest reaches of space. Featuring a first class crew that includes Red Dead Redemption 2 lead Roger Clark, Troy Baker (The Last of Us, Death Stranding), and Julia Brown (The Last Kingdom, World on Fire), Fort Solis grounds you in its hard sci-fi drama with no camera cuts, load times, or HUD.

Inspired by titles like Firewatch and Until Dawn, Fort Solis offers a hybrid piece of media, emphasizing narration and immersion. Told across four chapters, Fort Solis can be binged in one intense session, or played chapter by chapter like a Netflix series.

“Inspired by classic sci-fi films like Alien, Solaris, Moon, and Sunshine, we wanted to create a timeless tale that uses sci-fi ideas and aesthetics to the heart of the human condition,” said James Tinsdale, Game Director at Fallen Leaf.

“We’ve spent the last few years really honing our craft to make Fort Solis as immersive and moody as possible, so we’re beyond excited that people will finally be able to experience our passion project.”

“Sci-fi is a common genre in gaming, yet few seem to capture the human heart of what Fort Solis is going for,” said Guillaume Jamet, Head of Publishing for Dear Villagers.

“It’s not focused on explosions or combat, but rather a simple tale of people in an inhospitable place making complex, morally ambiguous decisions. It’s the kind of sci-fi that sticks with you long after the credits roll.”
