Compete against 9 other simulated survivalists to see who can outlast the rest and be crowned the sole survivor. Challenge yourself with 3 unique locations, each shaped by real-world climate, weather and flora data, creating an environment that feels authentic, and sometimes - brutal. Choose your gear wisely. Every item has a specific use and shapes the result of your actions. Stay alive by managing the five core survival needs: health, calories, hydration, warmth, and fatigue. Time only progresses when an action is performed, so take your time to make the right choices. Build and maintain your shelter, manage your fire and water, forage for food, hunt, fish and trap. All while balancing the unique challenges that your environment throws at you. No two runs are the same. Random events will affect your player, weather will vary, resources shift, and your decisions will shape each outcome. Over 22 achievements to unlock and compete on the global leaderboards for each location to see how you compare against other real-world players. Solus is a pure survival experience with no pay-to-win and no power-ups. All locations are free to explore. If you prefer an uninterrupted journey, a single one-time purchase removes all ads forever.
