Wired Productions has released some new screenshots for its upcoming indie title, Close to the Sun, showcasing its Unreal Engine 4-powered visuals. Close to the Sun is another game that will be releasing exclusively on the Epic Games Store and targets a 2019 release.
Close to the Sun is described as an atmospheric horror adventure game developed by leading independent Italian studio Storm in a Teacup. Storm in a Teacup switched from using Unity as a development engine to Unreal Engine 4 with Close to the Sun. According to the team, the change in-engine led to huge increases in fidelity and quality within the game, delivering a breath-taking experience for players.
Leo Zullo, Managing Director at Wired Productions, said about the game releasing exclusively on the Epic Games Store:
“It’s great news for independent developers and publishers that Epic has opened up these incredible opportunities for its partners. Success in this industry is hard to come by and the industry relies on each other to drive progress. Great games need great developers, who need great tech, who need great publishers, who need great distribution opportunities.”
Carlo Ivo Alimo Bianchi, CEO & Founder, Storm in a Teacup, added:
“Our relationship with Epic and the decision to use Unreal Engine have provided fantastic opportunities for our studio, enabling a greater creative freedom and the ability to double-down on quality for our games. To launch on the Epic Games store feels like the perfect next step and we are delighted that our partnerships with both Wired Productions and Epic Games will help propel Close to the Sun to achieve our ambitions.”
Enjoy!

Bit more than inspired, I’d say, looks like a blatant ripoff.Either way, hope it bombs for being on Epic shitstore
Epic, making piracy great again!
My VPN is ready.
Yeah before steam I was a pirate. I still don’t feel bad about piracy. I just don’t really do it anymore cause steam is so damn convenient. Fairly sure I would not be able to find torrent with any seeds to 80% of games I own there.
Epic Store exclusives made me go right back thou. Could I just wait for a steam release? Sure, that is what I’m doing. It’s just that while waiting I will gonna play it.
Hell that Metro Exodus press release just made me feel better more than anything. “Oh so it sold 2,5X more than previous game? One that I bought on steam? Seems that me pirating this one did not really matter then.”
Tss but using VPN? 😀 You from America? Never felt need to do that. Not back then. Not now. No one cares. No one apart from AT&T that is! Heard they are sending out letters? Have to admit that would make me scared. That would make me use VPN for sure.
i got emails about it before from getting movies so i always use PIA not to mention it just adds more security
A little too blatantly inspired by Bioshock I see. -_-
Yeah, to the point that i wonder how you can work on and talk to the media and release something like this with a straight face… It’s too much of a copy

sad part about nerds who buy this type of games is that they’re so stupid that they don’t realize they’re getting ripped off to move a camera inside a 3d environment at best case scenario.
All these art deco obsessed games are beginning to blend together.
be a good little sheep and pay the price of a video game to watch this cartoon.
