Close To The Sun

This game follows the run and escape to checkpoint genre for horror games. Story was pretty good going through but lacks explanation towards the ending. 5.5 out of 10.

I just streamed the whole game on TikTok and I have to say I really liked it! Nikola Tesla himself & blueprints of his research being in the game definitely made it very interesting as I can appreciate the history behind it as well!

maybe a little too straight but really enjoyable

Crashed 3 times in 3 minutes, can't even get to the actual game.

It's a linear, story driven game with some action sequences and very light puzzles. All on a steampunk (or rather electro-punk?) ship Helios. Some loose thoughts: - the story is interesting enough for what it is: your genius sister invents a new power source along with Nikola Tesla and, as always, it all goes wrong - there are some lovely locations here, breathtaking even (theater and garden genuinely made me stop and admire the views) - the lighting is too dark to the point of being frustrating at some points and there is no gamma slider in the menu, I assume it was a misguided design decision - sound bugs: sometimes dialogue blows up your ears, sometimes you have to read subtitles because you can barely hear your own character - it's not strictly a walking simulator, because there are fail-states but the action sequences are lame (run just the way we want you to or die) Overall I'd say I enjoyed my time with it, if you can get it cheap its worth a playthrough.
