My God is the Sun
A downloadable burning memory for Windows, macOS, and Linux
CONTENT WARNINGS INCLUDE: cults, death, allusions to transphobia
you are death, and you were once one of the 22 members of the arcana, a cult dedicated to some far-off god. you are the last survivor, the rest gulfed in inferno. you just didn't expect the first person you met once you reached the outside world again to be the "deity" you once worshipped. the fanfare and love is gone, though, and he's glad it is.
after a few days in the hospital (all expenses paid), genesis, demon of dissonance, helps you choose a new name. my god is the sun is a short story about rebirthing yourself in more than one way, with a dad that adopted you like his own.
my god is the sun is a game about nothing. a game in melancholy unreality of a dream and a demon.
features:
- 2 endings
- 4.3k words
- music by zack valence and loyalty freak
- additional images from unsplash
this game is a more lighthearted sequel to god is in the radio, my ectocomp 2022 entry. named after the queens of the stone age song of the same name, because of course it is.

Hello! I came across your game and really liked its concept! I’m aspiring to become a video game localizer, but I need to gain hands-on experience. So here’s my offer: I’d love to collaborate by translating your game into Russian. Since I’m new to game localization specifically, I’m happy to do this for free to build my portfolio. What do you think? If you are interested you can contact me: vvvqueennn1@yandex.ru
Hi! I'm a translation student looking to expand my portfolio. Your game looks super interesting! I'm familiar with the arcana and would love to translate it, so if you ever need an English to Spanish translator, I'd be honored to help :3
This was really sweet, and I found myself relating to it far more than I expected, especially Death/Virginia given that I'm generally a purely positive spirit (or at least that's my aesthetic lol). The characters were wonderful, and I loved the exploration of Death discovering who they are, where to find joy in the world, and the awesomeness of a kind and caring friend/father figure. I would 100% be up for Genesis as my dad 🙌
