Red Candle Teases Horror Return After Nine Sols Success
Red Candle Games, the Taiwanese developer known for their atmospheric horror titles, may be returning to the genre with their next game. This follows the success of their first action game, Nine Sols, which was a favorite among critics and fans alike in 2024.
Nine Sols, released in June 2024, was a departure from Red Candle's usual horror fare. However, contributor Abbie Stone praised it as one of their favorite games of the year. Now, fans are hoping that Red Candle's next title will be a return to their horror roots.
The game's ARG (Alternate Reality Game), which began on September 10, 2024, has fueled these hopes. A video called 'Dark Legacy of the Sun Tribe' was posted on the game's YouTube channel, hinting at a hidden horror game within Nine Sols. Players who entered 'shanhaiarchive' into the game's beta tab on Steam could download and play this separate horror title. The ARG also references real-world alchemist and explorer Xu Fu, adding to the intrigue.
The hidden game involves attempting to 'save Yuuki Wu', with an alternate ending revealing a connection to the original game's characters and story. This suggests that Red Candle may be planning a sequel or spin-off set in the Nine Sols universe.
While Red Candle Games has not officially announced their next title, the ARG and hidden game in Nine Sols seem to be strong indicators that their next game could be a horror title set in the Nine Sols universe. Fans eagerly await official confirmation from the developer.
