Publisher Devolver Digital and developer Rene Rother have announced Children of the Sun, a third-person puzzle shooter for PC (Steam). A demo is now available. The game will be released in 2024. Here’s an overview of the game, via its Steam page:
About the game Burning with rage, THE GIRL wages a solo war against THE CULT, taking down her followers one by one, bullet by bullet, until she reaches her true target: THE LEADER. Along the way, he will unravel the dark truth about this mysterious order and the atrocities committed by them in the name of his master. In this tactical third-person puzzle shooter, you take control of a bullet, guiding it through increasingly complex and challenging levels to kill cultists, activate traps, and reshape the environment. Every shot counts and ruthless accuracy is rewarded. Taking down THE SECT is deeply satisfying; do it with even more style.
Key Features
- 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 reorient it on impact, curve it around obstacles, accelerate to break armor, and more to make that crucial shot really count.
- Ritual Murder: Immerse yourself in a dark and twisted tale of revenge as you hunt down the nefarious CULT. Children of the Sun accompanies its unique bullet action with an evocative, mystery-filled story that unfolds as you exact revenge on the people who made your life hell and relentlessly pursue the enigmatic LEADER.
- Kill, Kill, Kill Again: Children of the Sun is lethally replayable by design. There are multiple solutions for each level, encouraging creativity and experimentation, with a satisfying scoring system that rewards precision and efficiency. Then, you can check the online leaderboards to see how you stack up against your friends and the rest of the world.
