Solarix

The game is intended as a homage to stealth-focused first-person video games of the late 90's and early 2000's, particularly System Shock 2 and the Thief series. In Solarix, players take the role of engineer Walter Terrace, the sole civilian survivor of a viral infection that has wiped out a Solarix corporation space colony on the planet Ancyra. Enemies patrol each level and will react to the sound of footsteps as well as being more easily able to see the player when they are in lighted areas, encouraging players to move while crouched and remain in dark areas. Enemies consist of both zombie colonists who will chase the player down and attack with melee attacks, as well as hostile mercenary soldiers armed with automatic rifles. The player is equipped with a semi-silenced pistol, and can also obtain a shotgun much later in the game, however ammo is very rare and enemies become more resistant to damage once they become aware of the player, thus discouraging direct combat. Solarix takes place in the year 2166 on humanity's first interstellar space colony, established on the planet Ancyra.
