Red Candle Games, the developer behind critically acclaimed horror outings Detention and Devotion, has shared a first trailer – and launched a crowdfunding campaign – for its previously revealed “Taopunk” action-platformer Nine Sols, which it’s aiming to release in Q3 next year.
When first we heard of Nine Sols last year, Red Candle described it as a “lore rich hand-drawn 2D platformer with Sekiro-inspired deflection-focused combat” – and an accompany bit of concept art set the dark, manga-inspired tone of the experience with its combination of cute animal protagonist and piles of mangled, bloody limbs.
