New Sun Now Available

New Sun was developed by Colmena Games of Colombia. It is the 2nd place winning game from our 2022 game design challenge which focused on the theme of resilience.
New Sun is an engaging, thought-provoking, and timely story about resilience and family. 
An older sister with two younger siblings are isolated during a planetary lockdown. Players are tasked with helping these three characters cope with isolation, fear, and anger.
By selecting and assigning activities to help these siblings, players will help them cope with their situation. And by doing so, players will come to learn more about how they can help themselves and others when coping with adversity and challenge. 
New Sun contains some frightening themes but is otherwise appropriate for players of all ages.

New Sun is the fourth resilience video game published for the Gaming Against Violence program.




New Sun



Ellie was on her way to work when the chaos broke out in the colony.


The government's instructions were clear:


No one may leave their domes.


Ellie had to pick up her younger siblings, Nazha and Rob, from school.


Then they needed to grab supplies and rush to the safety of their dome.


Then they had to deal with the stress, anxiety, and boredom of lockdown.
