Bring back the light to the sun’s empire in this 2D fast-paced action-platformer game inspired by Peruvian cultures. Make your way through hand-crafted environments, navigate dangerous dungeons, battle using your skills and improve them as you will need them in order to defeat the Four Keepers that stole the power of the sun.
Life cannot go on without the sun’s power. Stolen ages ago by the Four Keepers, they hid it in the distant corners of the sun’s empire, never to be found.With its dying breath/spark, the sun creates the Imp and sends him to these lands to bring back the light and restore the balance in the empire’s sun.
As the Imp Of The Sun, you have a glimpse of the power of the sun. It’s enough to battle most of the enemies but you will have to improve them along the way to face the Four Keepers. Gain power, abilities and refine your skills.
From the bright peaks of the Andean mountains to dark depths of thew underworld. From the dry desserts in the north to the dense Amazonian jungles in the east. Every corner and creature of the sun’s empire is hand-drawn and crafted with detail. Its style is a reference and mix of the different civilizations that once roamed and ruled Peru.
Our ancestors used to record their history through artifacts called “quipus”. Collect them to unveil a long forgotten past: the story behind the Eternal Eclipse. Also, there are 21 unique items hidden in the world. Each one of them is based on real relics from the Andean cultures.
Imp Of The Sun is built to be played again and again and again as you learn to control better the imp and understand its power. There are different play modes and you can set record times to compete against other players.

Imp Of The Sun is deeply inspired by Latin American cultures and the Peurvian influence can be seen heavily in Imp of the Sun’s soundtrack performed by a live studio orchestra, which features various musical styles such as Huayno and Festejo as well as unique sounds from instruments as old as 6000 years old that have never been heard before in modern recordings.
Sunwolf also sought special permission to sample local historical instruments dating back thousands of years, featuring them within the soundtrack to create a breathtaking and unique musical score.
Imp Of The Sun is coming to PC (Steam and Epic Games Store) in 2022.
