About the Nine Sols Game
Nine Sols is a fast-paced action-platformer set in a fallen cyberpunk world where ancient technology and forgotten deities collide. Step into the role of Yi, a vengeful warrior awakened to reclaim a forsaken realm. Armed with precise deflection-based combat, you must face relentless foes, uncover lost truths, and unravel the mysteries of a once-glorious empire now shrouded in darkness.
Along the way, explore a hauntingly beautiful hand-drawn world shaped by the remnants of an ancient civilization. Every battle tests your skill, every enemy holds a secret, and every step forward brings you closer to the truth behind the Nine Sols—gods who once ruled this land with absolute power.

About the RedCandleGames Development Studio
Founded in September 2015 by six individuals from various backgrounds. At first, the team was united because of one game, Detention, and the goal was to create a game that enable us to illustrate Taiwanese culture and history. As the project progressed, and as more team members started to devote full time to the development, we realized our passion for game making has lead us to the establishment of a game company.
