Close to the Sun is a first-person adventure game with horror elements.

The events take place on the huge ship "Helios", which was created by Nikola Tesla himself. This ship was, in fact, a utopian state where the best minds of the world were gathered for the development of science.

The main character is journalist Rose Archer, who arrived on the ship at the invitation of her sister. However, instead of luxurious halls, she saw only gloomy, empty rooms filled with the smell of blood and decomposing bodies. Now Rose is conducting an investigation to find out what happened on the ship, what experiments were conducted here and where all its passengers went.
