Up-Coming Horror Adventure Game Close to the Sun to Arrive Exclusively on the Epic Games Store

February 22nd, 2019 –Watford, UK - Wired Productions today announced the highly anticipated indie darling, Close to the Sun, will come exclusively to the EPIC Games Store on PC. Available now for pre-purchase worldwide, prospective adventurers can discover Close to the Sun at EpicGames.com, for $29.99 in North America and €29.99 in most European countries.

Close to the Sun is an atmospheric horror adventure game developed by leading independent Italian studio Storm in a Teacup. Its launch on the Epic store is a success story for Epic and its support of the game creation ecosystem.

Storm in a Teacup switched from using Unity as a development engine to Unreal 4 with Close to the Sun, embracing leading-edge technology. The change in engine led to huge increases in fidelity and quality within the game, delivering a breathtaking experience for players. Storm in a Teacup’s early success secured the studio a coveted Unreal Development Grant before signing with independent publisher Wired Productions.

“It’s great news for independent developers and publishers that Epic has opened up these incredible opportunities for its partners,” said Leo Zullo, Managing Director, Wired Productions. “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, said: “Our relationship with Epic and the decision to use the 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.”

Close to the Sun will launch on PC and console in 2019.

LOVE IS (STILL) IN THE AIR WITH PLENTY AMORA’S GIFTS AND LEAGUE OF ANGELS III LUNAR FESTIVAL EVENTS

Valentine's Day has come and gone — your only lasting recollection may be a less than stellar bank balance. Fear not though, for in League of Angels III the love lives on … the gifts are all yours and The Lunar Festival could put a blossoming spring in your step.

The Valentine's Holiday invites players to collect teddy bears and sweet chocolates in exchange for gorgeous outfits like Amora's Gift, Lunar Blaze, Holiday Vestments and tons of special items at the shop.

Happily, this also coincides with the Lunar Festival Holiday Event, where all creatures will go through a period of re-birth (also known as The Blossoming Spring). What does this mean for players? An all-new outfit, Lunar Blaze can be obtained in various events where tons of items can be won — like exclusive tokens or strings of firecrackers and even more spring festival tickets.

A new Wheel of Fortune Event also sees a brand new mount enter the fray, a Mount Lunar Beast — Blackpyre. Spin to win and gain enhancements in battle and greatly increases the HP, ATK and DEF of your heroes (improving your BR by over 50,000).

Finally, following on from the heroic celebrations surrounding Theresa last month — it's now Victoria's turn to be immortalised as the first Mythic Angel to appear in the game. With her two Divine Armas: Dawn Sword and Dusk Shield in hand, she feels sure she can lead the Angels to victory. The most powerful defensive hero so far, she has three key skills: Dawn's Light, Dusk Slash and Victory Dance.

To find lots of love, lunar gifts and more head over to the League of Angels III site to play the game.

REVIEW: Estiman for Nintendo Switch

Review by Jon Donnis
Kool2Play are back with another unique title for Nintendo Switch.
Estiman is an endless arcade type game that has you clicking on shapes which represent the highest number of duplicated shapes on the screen. The faster you can "estimate" the more time you get.

Once you clear the screen more shapes will pop up. And as the games gets harder, the shapes will get harder to differentiate, so might look similar, have similar colours and so on, to try and confuse you.

The game is very original, and very simple, and is perfect for the kind of person who just likes to pick up a game and play without too much thought.

As we have all come to expect from Kool2Play, the soundtrack is great, this time it is a perfect ambient style soundtrack that is never distracting and actually quite relaxing.

As a simple easy to play game, you will find yourself picking up this game to play for 5 minutes here, or a few minutes there, it really is perfect for that kind of situation when you need to kill some time.

And for only £1.79 it's hardly anything to buy.

For such a simple and easy to play game, at such a low cost it is hard to really criticise the game at all.

Fun, simple game that you will keep coming back to.
8/10
