Rene Rother and Devolver Digital have announced that their “stylish shooter,” Children of the Sun, is coming to PC in 2024. The announcement was made as part of a Steam Next Fest demo release that allows players a peek into this unique third-person shooter. Demo players will have a chance to experience seven stages of the game as they experience astonishing graphics and hone their assassin’s skills.
Players take on the role of THE GIRL who is out to take out The Cult one cultist at a time. Her goal is to find The Leader and remove him as she unravels the truth about the group and the atrocities they have all committed.
The game is said to be a third-person puzzle shooter. Players actually control the bullet by guiding it to its target. As the game progresses, the shots become increasingly complex and challenging as The Girl continues her rampage against the cultists. Every shot counts, and precision is rewarded.
Features include
- Plan Your Approach: Tactical sniping, puzzle solving, and light stealth collide in Children of the Sun to create a third-person shooter like no other. You only have a single bullet to complete each level, but you can re-aim on impact, curve around obstacles, accelerate to break through armor, and more to really make that one crucial shot count.
- Ritual Murder: Lose yourself in a dark, twisted tale of revenge as you hunt down the nefarious CULT. Children of the Sun accompanies its unique one-bullet action with an evocative, mystery-filled storyline that unravels as you exact your revenge on the people who made your life hell and relentlessly pursue the enigmatic LEADER.
- Kill, Kill, and Kill Again: Children of the Sun is lethally replayable by design. There are multiple solutions to each level, encouraging creativity and experimentation, with a satisfying scoring system that rewards accuracy and efficiency. Then, you can check the online leaderboards to see how you stack up against your friends and the rest of the world.
