Solarix

Solarix is a first-person video game with a strong emphasis on stealth. 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. Lights can be destroyed with weapons fire to create areas of darkness to sneak through. Enemies will also react to fresh bodies, which will trigger them into searching the area for the player, encouraging players to hide the bodies of killed enemies away from enemy patrol routes.

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. Soldiers have better awareness and a longer sight range than zombies. Later levels taking place aboard a space station also introduce two different types of robots which are also armed with automatic weapons, as well as very durable, zombie-like cyborgs manufactured by Solarix for manual labor.

Solarix takes place in the year 2166 on humanity's first interstellar space colony, established on the planet Ancyra. An airborne viral infection has wiped out almost every human aboard the colony, transforming many of them into hostile zombie-like creatures referred to as "anomalies".

Walter Terrace, a civilian engineer and seemingly the sole civilian survivor of the colony, wakes up with no memory and is contacted by AMI, the Artificial Intelligence system controlling the colony, who enlists Walter's help in finding a way to stop the infection. Throughout his journey, Walter is also frequently contacted by Betty, a violent and unstable fellow survivor who often contacts Walter to alternatingly cajole, mock, and threaten him or otherwise comment on the situation. Besides Walter and Betty, the only human survivors on the colony are 50 corporate mercenaries under the command of Gregory Hart, a special representative recently sent by Solarix to provide oversight on the development of the colony. Hart's mercenaries are desperate and paranoid due to the situation and will shoot Walter on sight. Hart, who was already distrustful of AMI due to her status as an A.I., believes that AMI is responsible for creating the infection out of jealously against her human masters, and is therefore refusing to cooperate with AMI, forcing her to turn to Walter for help.

Solarix has received mixed reviews. The game holds an aggregate score of 54 out of 100 on Metacritic, based on seven reviews, and 52.60% on GameRankings, based on five reviews.
