“This project is crucial for STC” said Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi, founder & Creative Director. “After the first three games, we came back bigger and stronger than ever. We want to tell you stories, and this time we’re going to tell you about a man who dared to defy the Sun, between horror and survival. As always, we aim for a peculiar art style which is STC’s trademark. In building the ship, we’ve been inspired by art deco, art nouveau and steampunk, since visuals for us is as important as the experience itself. Our challenges vary throughout the game but are all built around the general themes of survival and progress towards a promised salvation. Expressed more simply, our challenges generally come down to: there are many ways to die, but only one way to escape.”

Close to The Sun is being developed for the PC using the Unreal 4 Engine.  The availability on other platforms is yet to be determined, so keep an eye out for updates as the game is further developed.
