“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.”
