Near The Sun

From the Devs

Near The Sun is a 2D action-adventure game where you temporarily neutralize enemies with high-speed dashes as you race through a collapsing underworld.

Your dash is your ultimate weapon, instantly rendering foes powerless. Free from complex combos or unforgiving controls, a single action lets you effortlessly bypass enemies and maintain a smooth, fast-paced rhythm.

Immerse yourself in a profound narrative that transforms based on your exploration path. With stress-free controls, unravel the mysteries left in the subterranean depths and find a way to save a girl from a "previous world" that has already perished.

Dash Through a Collapsing Underworld

The catastrophe that scorched the surface is now creeping into the subterranean realm. Carrying his sister on his back, a young boy steps into the machine-infested darkness to halt the world's destruction. From ruined stations and forgotten abandoned mines to crimson-dyed holy sites—race through a dying underworld and reach the truth hidden in its deepest depths.

High-Risk Dash Action

Enemy lines of sight aren't just obstacles to avoid. Use your foes to your advantage as you forge ahead along hidden paths. Experience thrilling, continuous action where tension and satisfaction build the further you explore. Read enemy movements, step directly into danger, and carve out a path forward with split-second decisions.

A Future Shaped by Exploration

Explore the three distinct zones of the underworld in any order you choose. Where you go first and what information you uncover early on will alter the narrative's trajectory, giving the same events entirely different meanings. Piece together memories and logs scattered across the lands to uncover the truth of the world through your own unique journey.

In a Ruined World, I Found You

Deep within the underworld, the boy encounters a girl from the long-lost "previous world." Why was she left behind in a forgotten era? Why did she appear before him? And how is her fate tied to the collapse of the world? Retrace her memories left in the previous world and find a way to change her destiny.
