About Close to the Sun
Close to the Sun is set in 1897, in a 19th century shaped by Nikola Tesla’s ideas and inventions. Journalist Rose Archer boards the Helios, a colossal vessel in international waters that serves as an independent haven for scientific research, isolated from the state and society. She is searching for her sister Ada, but finds the grand halls empty, the smell of rotting flesh and a quarantine notice at the entrance.
The Helios
Explore the ship and uncover what happened to its inhabitants. The Helios was intended as a refuge for scientific progress, free to push the boundaries of matter and time and away from the threat of corporate espionage. Its halls and golden effigies hold secrets about the vessel and the people who lived and worked there.
Rose’s search
Use your wits to guide Rose through unknown dangers as she searches for Ada and learns the fate of the Helios. Solve puzzles to progress and unlock secret areas, and search the ship for hidden collectables that reveal more about Wardenclyffe and its workers.
