It’s at all times a thrilling time when Pink Candle Video games are as much as one thing. The sheer selection they have placed on show with Detention, Devotion, and maximum lately 9 Sols is not anything to smell at. Now, it seems that they are gearing up for the following undertaking in an correctly mysterious method. Previous nowadays, the respectable Pink Candle Video games YouTube channel shared a video titled “The Darkish Legacy of the Solar Tribe,” and it definitely is… one thing.
The entire thing is finished in a kind of creepypasta kinda video essays, the sort the place the voice over has both been pitched down, or carried out by means of a robotic, or each. And it is all somewhat, smartly, for lack of a higher phrase, creepy. It opens up with the road “are you truly human?” which is a query I assumed handiest Yoko Taro used to be allowed to invite in video video games, however however, an off striking strategy to get started issues.
What proceeds is one thing that seems like a conspiracy narrated by means of somebody known as Yuuki about human evolution, and that aforementioned darkish legacy of the solar tribe. A story is spun about an historical bamboo scroll written in a language by no means observed prior to, an actual Chinese language alchemist named Xu Fu who wanted immortality by means of venturing to a spot known as Penglai, and a civilian student determined to be told extra.
A pair issues price noting right here: the start of the video talks about folks born with 4 arms. Yi, the protagonist of 9 Sols, is a member of a race known as the Solarians, who all have 4 arms. Solarian clearly stems from sun, just like the solar tribe discussed on this teaser. Immortality additionally comes up in 9 Sols, and Penglai is the identify of the planet that Solarians are from. So, I do not know about you, however this certain does appear to be one thing 9 Sols is at the method.
A sequel? DLC? One thing else totally? It is conceivable, the metroidvania did get a prequel manga previous this yr. For now, we’re going to simply need to let the conspiracy resolve itself…
