More about Fort Solis, a Quantic Dream-inspired sci-fi thriller

• Fort Solis is a third-person, story-driven thriller set in an isolated Martian mining base.

• The team intends to do something in the spirit of the film “Moon 2112”where the characters, their motivations and perception of reality are questioned. The atmosphere will be played by isolation and industrial style, like dead space.

• The main place of action will be Fort Solis. The complex has two main tasks – a place for the extraction of resources from the bowels of Mars and the base of the project for growing plants. The station is divided into nine separate blocks, each with one or two underground floors. Players will be free to explore all of this.

Fort Solis is fully open to users from the first minute of their arrival. Naturally, to get into some rooms, you have to do something: solve puzzles, gain access to zones through certain actions, or as you explore other locations.

• Between compartments, you can navigate through a network of gloomy tunnels or across the surface of Mars. However, there are dangers outside, such as dust storms – after the completion of each chapter, the weather conditions become more and more unfriendly.

• The protagonist of the story named Jack Leary is not a fighter, but an engineer. Therefore, he has no access to weapons. The main assistant throughout the story will be the multitool. It stores all the information found, it is needed to break doors, repair the rover and other actions. “We wanted you to feel like an engineer, not a super soldier”– shared the leader.

We don’t have a “press B to hit” option, but we’ve made a lot of situations where you can choose the “hit” option. If you decide to express aggression, then we have an animation for this. And such a choice will lead to a completely different result. Again, our game is closer to work supermassive.

• The game contains the so-called “key sequences” – cinematic moments in which the gamer can take part while continuing to control the protagonist. They are shown at the most poignant moments. Each such event will have several outcomes depending on the actions (or inaction) of the user.

• It is known that the project involved:

  • Roger Clark (Roger Clark; Arthur Morgan of Red Dead Redemption 2) is the lead actor of Jack Leary.

  • Julia Brown (Julia Brown; “World in fire”) will play Jessica, Jack’s companion. According to Tinsdaleshe is always next to a friend and helps to relieve the degree of horror with humor.

  • Troy Baker (Troy Baker; Joel from The Last of Us) – Wyatt Taylor, the most complex character of the trio. “This is not a typical movie villain, but a doctor. He cares about what’s going on at the station.” – explained the leader.

• At Fort Solis multiple endings to which the player moves through a branching system of events. According to James Tinsdalethe team wanted every truly important moment to influence the story.

• Initially Fort Solis they were going to do it with a first-person view – a successful experiment prompted the developers to do this Resident Evil 7. But in the end, the camera moved behind the hero’s back, so that everything looked like it was filmed in one take. In this way, the studio is trying to achieve maximum immersion for gamers.
