The Solus Project is a first-person single-player survival video game developed by Teotl Studios and Grip Games. The game is a successor to previous Teotl title, The Ball.

Story

The story has you playing as an astronaut who is on a mission to save mankind. On his way to an alien planet, the spacecraft crashes and you are the only survivor left. With mankind on the verge of extinction, you are their only hope. You must now explore this alien planet and figure out if the planet can sustain life. As you progress in the game, you will unveil secrets of a mysterious alien civilization that might hold the key to mankind’s survival.

Gameplay

The player explores the planet full of temples and other interesting places. Plants grow and rot, weather changes from scorching heat to chilling storms, and the wind and humidity are unforgiving. Craft items, explore vast areas, monitor your health, sleep regularly and more.

After playing hours of this game, if you feel why hasn’t the game given you jumpscares like an unknown alien jumping out of nowhere. Well, that’s because the game never tries to scare you in the first place, that was never its objective. Rather it at some point will start getting creepy. With great visuals and sound effects, the game will have you never get bored and will make you want to complete the game. If you have always wondered how it would feel like to explore an unknown planet this is the game for you.
