Close to the Sun (Switch) – Overview

In 1897, the Helios drifts in international waters, unmoving beneath dark, stormy skies. Massive waves pound its hull, while towering golden effigies stretch endlessly, adorned with lavish details.

Inspired by Nikola Tesla's vision, the Helios is a sanctuary for the world's greatest scientific minds. It stands as an independent research utopia, free from government oversight and societal constraints, allowing for the exploration of matter and time.

Journalist Rose Archer boards the Helios in search of her sister Ada, only to find that not everything is as it appears. Empty grand halls, a pervasive stench of decay, and a single word—QUARANTINE—painted at the entrance, hint at a dark mystery.
