Wired Productions Ltd. and Storm in a Teacup development studio have announced a narrative horror game Close to the Sun. It will be coming to Windows PC, Xbox One family of devices and PlayStation 4 entertainment system in 2019.
Close to the Sun offers an instantly recognizable art aesthetic and an alternative take on history bringing the second age of scientific enlightenment at the end of the 20 century.
The events of the game take place 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.

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.”
