Close to the Sun is being developed with Unreal 4, the developer having been awarded an Unreal Dev Grant in 2018.

It takes place at the turn of the 20th Century. An alternate version of history, representing a second age of scientific enlightenment, is occurring.

You become Rose, a young journalist who is looking for her sister. Your investigations lead you to a huge ship complex called The Helios created by Nikola Tesla. As you approach it, you discover that something has gone terribly wrong.

Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi, CEO & Founder, Storm in a Teacup: We’re delighted to partner with Wired Productions and to see Close to the Sun benefit from their experience in titles with that extra level of depth. Working together enables us to focus on perfecting a game that we truly believe will be a new benchmark for Storm in a Teacup; a title that brings story, horror and character development together to a new level.

Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions: Close to the Sun is a beautiful and unique title which showcases both the talent of the developer and the calibre of experience synonymous with the Wired Productions brand. Our pipeline for 2019 builds upon the quality titles we’ve brought to market over this past year, and we couldn’t be happier to announce this partnership with Storm in a Teacup.

Close to the Sun will be launched sometime in 2019 for PlayStation®4, the Xbox One family of devices including Xbox One X, and Windows.
