Fort Solis

Fort Solis is a 2023 horror adventure game developed by Fallen Leaf and Black Drakkar Games and published by Dear Villagers. Set in 2080, the story follows Jack Leary, an engineer who arrives at the titular Martian mining station after an emergency alert is activated. The game is played from a third-person perspective, with the player exploring the station and interacting with objects. At certain segments, the player controls Jack's colleague, Jessica Appleton. The game was conceived at the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, aiming to adapt the cinematic style of streaming television to the video game format. The developers intended for the narrative to reflect real-world issues, such as the pandemic, as an example of human vulnerability and hostile environments. Roger Clark, Julia Brown, and Troy Baker provided the motion capture and voices for Jack, Jessica, and Wyatt Taylor, respectively. Fort Solis was released for PlayStation 5 and Windows in August 2023. A macOS version was released later in October. A version for Xbox Series X/S was also released in December 2025. The game received mixed critical reception, with praise directed at its cast performances, visuals, and sound design; reviewers were ambiguous towards the narrative and criticized the gameplay. Fallen Leaf partnered with Studios Extraordinaires to develop film and television series based on Fort Solis.
