Fallout Equestria and its side stories, being a crossover between MLP:FiM and Fallout, are less strictly science fiction and more in the realm of urban fantasy or science fantasy. The games themselves do, at times, have elements of supernatural horror, like the Dunwich Building in Fallout 3, which is one big Lovecraft reference.
 
In FoE:PH, the Eater of Souls is a giant, sentient obelisk made of starmetal. Much like other objects made of starmetal powered by an energy source sufficient to get it to resonate, its magic wavelength absorbs any life force unfortunate enough to get caught within its enervation fields, producing energy - and potentially more starmetal - in the process. It reacts violently with moonstone because moonstone contains trapped souls.
 
This was foreshadowed as early as Chapter 32, when Blackjack taps a small piece of moonstone to one of the starmetal-coated cartridges for Trottenheimer’s Folly (an incredibly destructive magic beam pistol), and the resulting explosion knocks her flat on her ass.
 
Some characters speculate that starmetal is alien technology that crash-landed on Equestria in ancient times, while others posit an extradimensional or supernatural origin.
 
The appearance of the Eater of Souls, a pair of twisted helical spires, is a clear reference to the Marker from Dead Space.

No, that isn’t quite correct.
 
Project Horizons was commissioned by Goldenblood and the OIA under the highest secrecy. It’s an enormous gun on the moon that shoots a hunk of moonstone with the soul of a dead star trapped in it, targeted at the Eater of Souls in Hoofington’s core. If it were to successfully strike its target, it would wipe out all life on the planet and resurrect the Eater of Souls.
 
Goldenblood had originally planned on it being a failsafe to wipe out Luna’s government in the event that she proved a power-mad dictator in peacetime after the war’s conclusion, but he hadn’t anticipated how powerful the weapon would actually be, and he’d been subtly manipulated by the Eater of Souls into thinking it was a good idea when it really… wasn’t.

 
TL;DR - Goldenblood built a world-ending superweapon because Reaper indoctrination.

Oh, the writing’s great, and PH has an excellent talent for showing the reader what’s going on. It’s just, for all the stuff that happens, very little of it actually advances the plot.
 
It’s like Dragon Ball Z. You love the characters, the plot, the world, and just the idea of the whole thing, but there’s just so. Much. Filler!

…So it was pretty much the same ending as the original Fallout Equestria? That’s… I’m not sure how to react to that.

Yes. What Project Horizons is was finally revealed. It’s yet another doomsday weapon. But, you know, more doomy-er than every other doomsday device in both this story and the parent fic. Except if used just right, at which point instead of being a weapon of mass destruction it’s a weapon of mass creation. Or something.
 
So yeah it’s about par the course for the usual “What a tweest!” that PH tends to pull.

Plenty of stuff happens in Project Horizons. If anything, the issue is too much stuff. Doesn’t stop the story from being amazing, though.

Setting? Awesome. Characters? Some of the most likable I’ve seen come out of a fanfic. Pacing? DEAR GOD DO SOMETHING ALREADY.
 
Seriously, did they ever answer WHAT Project Horizions refrered to?
