Fort Solis is a riveting story-driven thriller on the Red Planet
An experience envisioned by the developers:
A uniquely singular cinematic experience! The story is told across four chapters. Like a Netflix series, Fort Solis can be binged in one intense session, or played chapter by chapter like an episodic TV show.
Welcome to Fort Solis
Responding to an unusual emergency call from a remote mining base, Jack arrives at the dark and desolate Fort Solis. With storm warnings imminent, he heads inside to make desperate contact. As the night grows longer, events escalate, spiral out of control, and the mystery of what happened to the crew begins to reveal itself. The storm is approaching, limiting Jack’s escape as he looks to hold out until morning arrives.
Immersive Storytelling
Fort Solis looks to deliver a high-fidelity experience designed to completely immerse the player in the cast and their long night. With performances from Roger Clark, Troy Baker, and Julia Brown, Fort Solis looks to deliver emotion, fear, empathy, and much more with every chapter.
Supporting the core story are additional narrative instances such as audio logs, surveillance footage, and parts of the past that lead to present events. Accompanying those are video logs recorded by the crew detailing the events before and after that night the alarm was triggered at Fort Solis…
Grounded by the Visuals!
Fort Solis brings players the next level of details and facial and body animations. With the help of Unreal Engine 5.2, Fort Solis’ realistic universe is brought to life!
An Isolated Mining Complex
The skeleton of Fort Solis is built above and below ground. The base contains a variety of locations each with their own surface and sub-surface levels. Players will be able to explore the isolated stormy surface, the creepy service tunnels absent of light, or the multiple departments that help Fort Solis function on a day-to-day basis such as Engineering, Medical, and Communications.
As the story unfolds, locations can easily be revisited for additional story context or continue to serve as a backdrop to the fate that awaits Jack with each passing hour.

Good, but needs to fix the resolution bug
Lord Fluffington of Felineton
On MacBook Pro M2 14", default resolution made the game unplayable at any settings and it couldn't be adjusted from the graphics setting menu - it was just stuck on the ultra high resolution. I found a work around where I adjusted the system resolution to the lowest possible, then started up the game and switched it to windowed mode in the graphics settings, adjusted the size of the window until it fit on the screen and then expanded it back to full-screen. This somehow made it playable and after doing this I was even able to use alt-tab and the three finger swipe to switch between this application and others. Still, if I hadn't discovered this workaround I would have considered my money wasted. Please fix for future players!The game itself is captivating, but rather short.
Buggy
Super.Jelly
If your game is laggy, set graphics to low, lower the resolution and turn off camera smoothing in the controls settings. Also, why does this game lock you out of basic OS functions? You cant CMD Tab, switch desktops, or use any other app. It's caused several problems for me.
Incredibly Glitchy on a Mac Studio
J Quincy Magoo
After three (3) crashes I was finally able to get the program to remain booted after making some tweaks to the display options. However, even then the video is sporadic and studders frequently. The most disappointing aspect is I am unable to get past the first few minutes of the game as it appears a glitch prevents the main character from swinging back and forth on a cable to enter Solaris. I'm experiencing these issues on a Mac Studio configured with a Studio Display, M1 Ultra chipset, 128 GB of memory, 8 TB hard drive, and running the latest version of Sanoma (14.1). Unlike other games on my computer, the "Game Mode On" notification does not appear when booting up this game. Overall, I am extremely disappointed in this game's performance.
Great so far; can't skip opening logos
Alijah Simon
So far, the game is great. Awesome voice actors, great graphics, and really solid performance on my M1 Pro chip. They integrated MetalFX which is awesome. I am really enjoying this and it's very immersive. The game has a few bugs, including the lighting being very odd as it interacts with the character's hair, and I usually have to force-quit the game as quitting normally leaves it running. Removed one star for bugs and because there's a minute of logos when you open the app and you can't skip them. Will add the fifth star when that is fixed.
- Performance improvements
- Fixed collision issues
- Various other small graphical fixes
