Get lost in space with The Solus Project's latest dev diary

More On: The Solus Project

Publisher Grip Digital and developer Teotl Studios want to make you an island--in space. Their upcoming game The Solus Project strands you on an alien planet and forces you to survive. Your crew is dead, the Earth is dying and your mission was to find a suitable colony world, but now you just have to stay alive. The only problem is the world you stumbled upon doesn't look so uninhabited after all.

The Solus Project fascinates me because it's a survival game but it's also linear and level based, not open world like Rust or Minecraft. This allows for more story structure and a more intentional sense of isolation; after all, Solus is Latin for "alone." Alongside Adr1ft, 2016 is turning out to be a good year to get lost in space. The Solus Project is coming to Xbox One Game Preview and Steam Early Access in February.
