While the previous dev diaries for The Solus Project focused on gameplay and early access, this one is all about the story. Apparently in the 22nd century the solar system is ripped to pieces by a nearby star, and now humanity survives on a flotilla orbiting Pluto. With starvation imminent, your crew is sent to survey another world for a possible colony.
Of course things don't go to plan and your ship explodes above Gliese 6143-C. As the only survivor, you must survey the alien world and discover why its inhabitants perished...and avoid that fate yourself.
Curiously, The Solus Project is actually a direct sequel to Grip Digital's first game, The Ball, which was about a 1940s traveler lost inside an alien pyramid, buried beneath a volcano in Mexico.
