Hello everyone, this is Red Candle Games.
With our nearly four-year ARG (Alternate Reality Game) officially coming to a close, the promotional journey for Nine Sols has reached its finale as well.
At the same time, we’ve noticed that many players joined partway through and understandably felt lost in the bigger picture. And for others, the idea of an “ARG” as an interactive format is still unfamiliar.
To document this journey—and to answer the question we’ve heard most often: “What exactly was Red Candle doing with the Nine Sols ARG?”—we’ve put together a special video series. It’s a clear, accessible recap for anyone who struggled to find an entry point, or simply never had the chance to participate.
We sincerely invite you to revisit the full history of the Nine Sols ARG: an interactive journey spanning over four years, with more than 10,000 participants, centered on the story of Shanhai 9000 and Chien—a record of a redemption journey that spans millennia.
📽 We sincerely invite you to once again witness the beginning and the end of this journey with us. (The video features bilingual voice-over and subtitles in both Chinese and English.)
Thank you for being part of it.
Let this end be the beginning of peace. In the name of the sol, may we walk the path of Tao. ☀️🙏
With the New Year just around the corner, we’re wishing you a safe, peaceful, and cozy holiday season. ❄️🏹☀️ The Steam Winter Sale officially kicks off today, and Nine Sols is available at 40% off for a limited time!

Hi, this is Red Candle Games.
When we were working on Nine Sols, our team had many ideas for the story of Lear, but due to time constraints and other factors, we weren't able to include everything.
However, a year ago, by chance, we established a partnership with MOJOIN, and we were fortunate enough to meet the amazing artist, Yang Chi-Cheng. As a result, what was once an extravagant idea for us gradually became a reality through the collective efforts of everyone involved, especially with the invaluable contributions of Mr. Yang. This allowed the story of Lear and the world of Penglai to be further extended.
Today, we are excited to share Nine Sols - The Way of Lear: Prelude with you, and we hope you enjoy it!
