In an alternative version of history, Nikola Tesla creates a colossal ship, The Helios, designed to be a haven for scientific progress, isolated from society and far away from the threat of corporate espionage. Players take control of Rose, a young journalist in search of her sister, as she sets foot on the vessel but all is not what it seems...

“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,” Said Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions.

“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."

“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," added Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi, CEO & Founder of Storm in a Teacup.

"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.”

Close to the Sun launches on Xbox One, PS4 and PC in 2019.
