About
Imp of the Sun is a nonlinear 2D action platformer that combines fast-paced combat and exploration set across a stunning Peruvian-inspired world, from the bright peaks of the Andean mountains to the dense Amazonian jungles. You play as Nin, an imp created from the final spark of the sun, who is sent on an adventure to defeat the Four Keepers and restore the sun’s power, ending the Eternal Eclipse before the world is plunged into darkness.
Key Features

Every land and creature is lovingly hand-drawn and crafted with detail, celebrating the civilizations that once roamed and ruled Peru.
- Explore, Collect and Learn – Our ancestors recorded their history through artifacts known as ‘quipus.’ Collect quipus to unveil the story behind the Eternal Eclipse, and find unique hidden items based on real relics from the Andean cultures. Explore the sun’s empire and defeat unique, punishing bosses in any order you choose, each with their own complex mechanics and backstory.
