Close to the Sun is a story-driven horror game that takes place at the turn of the 20th century on a mysterious ship complex created by Nikola Tesla for the sake of knowledge. In this alternative version of history, his scientific breakthroughs have already had a major impact on the world. You’re a young journalist looking for your sister and, as you approach this enormous and glorious complex for the first time, you quickly realize that something there has gone horribly wrong..."

It was okay, nothing amazing. It's something to play when you have nothing to do. Plot was too predictable.

Story

This was a short but sweet game. I was lucky enough to get it in a Fanatical bundle, making it closer to £2.00 than the £16 steam pricetag... But for 7 hours of game time, I had a lot of fun. It's an alternate-history in which Nikola Tesla is much more succcessful than he was in reality, he has built a ship that could conceivably be considered a few towns, or a small city. The game mixes a some simple horror elements with real Tesla history and sci-fi tesla expansions to create an intriguing mystery aboard the ship. Some great voice acting and enjoyable characters. The ending is a little adrupt and some may consider it underwhelming, I found it a little predictable based on the last hour or so, but not in a dissapointing way, it stayed true to a lot of what it had been communicating. The sound design lets it down somewhat, the voice acting is good, but with your 1st-person protagonists voice often being quieter than those heard on radio, occasional sound effects - including jump scares, 'horror stings' and even the menu sounds seemed much louder than other sounds around them and I could never get the balance right in the settings. The game was visually fantastic, one of the strengths of walking-sims is the abiltiy to create a great environment that is exciting and unique to walk through, I think the game did this well, and communicated the scale of this ship. Probably not one worth replaying, but certainly one I'm glad I played once!

اللعبة محاكاة مشي مع فجعات رخيصة وألغاز أغلبها تافه، قصيرة وممتعة بصريا والموسيقى فيها جميلة لكن مليانة عيوب لا من ناحية الأداء ولا من ناحية التحكم أو أسلوب اللعب وغيرها، القصة كانت جيدة لكن النهاية مدري شقول

Dropei o jogo, não consegui terminar. A tela balançava para ler todos os textos para simular respiração do personagem. Acho péssimo e não ajuda minha cinetose. Direções confusas e mecânica MUITO TRUNCADA. A personagem não responde aos comandos. Uma pena, pois a história parecia promissora

Played this a while ago, but I remember a very Bioshock-esque vibe, good story, could have been better

Mélange entre un Walking Simulator et un jeu d'horreur on se plonge vite dans l'horreur avec Close to The Sun. Vous allez suivre l'aventure de Rose, journaliste qui va embarquer sur l'Helios à la recherche de sa sœur Ada suite a une lettre qu'elle a envoyé lui demander de venir. Un univers qui vous fera sûrement penser à Bioshock avec son architecture. Une ambiance lugubre qui vous mettra en alerte assez rapidement. Un scénario vraiment bien écris. Cependant !!!! ---Spoiler Alert--- Une histoire vraiment captivante mais qui vous laissera frustré suite à un manque de réponse
