Step aboard the Helios, a colossal vessel adrift in international waters in 1897, born from the visionary mind of Nikola Tesla. This isn't just a ship; it's an unbound utopia, a sanctuary for the greatest scientific minds, isolated from societal constraints and dedicated to pushing the very boundaries of matter and thought.
Players step into the shoes of Rose Archer, a young journalist who receives a cryptic message from her sister, Vera, a prominent scientist aboard the Helios.
Driven by a desperate need to find her sister, Rose embarks on a perilous journey onto the magnificent, yet eerily silent, ship. What she discovers is a place where scientific ambition has taken a dark and twisted turn.
The game masterfully blends elements of horror and mystery within its rich steampunk aesthetic. As you navigate the opulent yet decaying halls of the Helios, you'll uncover the chilling secrets of what transpired, piecing together the fate of its inhabitants.
The gameplay centers on exploration and narrative. You'll be tasked with solving environmental puzzles, finding clues, and making your way through the ship's labyrinthine corridors.
The atmosphere is thick with tension, amplified by the stunning visual design that captures the grandeur and the dread of Tesla's forgotten dream. Close To The Sun offers a compelling narrative experience, drawing players into a world where scientific progress has a terrifying cost.
