They Took the Sun

They Took the Sun is a single player flying game in which the player chases and takes down giant bosses. In order to stop the bosses, the player will have to learn how to navigate around them and find their weak points. Each encounter is unique, with each their own mechanics. You can think of They Took the Sun as a mix between 90s arcade flight games and Team Ico’s Shadow of the Colossus. Features - Simple, intuitive arcade flight mechanics - Multiple weapons - Simple upgrade system - Vast environments to get lost in - A surreal, eerie, dreamlike mood - An ethereal soundtrack About Dejima Dejima was founded in 2016 in the snow-covered city of Sapporo by Julien Ribassin.
