This Unusual Sniper Game Was Pitched as "I Just Killed a Man Now I'm Horny"

Children of the Sun is now out and I wonder if it would be more popular with the old name.

Would you play a game called I Just Killed a Man Now I'm Horny? If not, I bet you'd at least check it out. While Children of the Sun ended up with a different name, it's still fun to get a glimpse of what once happened in the developer's head.

As the game's publisher Devolver Digital shared, Children of the Sun was originally pitched as I Just Killed a Man Now I’m Horny, a fitting name for a game about a sniper guiding bullets to cultists' brains. "So fun. Fun facts are fun," said Devolver Digital, and we can't disagree.

Children of the Sun was released on April 9, and it's worth checking out even if you're disappointed the creator René Rother got rid of the funky title.

The tactical puzzle shooter lets you eliminate cultists, trigger traps, and reshape the environment with a single bullet you can control right in the air. Re-aim on impact, break through armor, and do whatever it takes to reach the aim.

"Burning with anger, THE GIRL wages a one-woman war against THE CULT, taking them down cultist by cultist, bullet by bullet, until she reaches her true target: THE LEADER. Along the way she will unravel the dark truth about this mysterious order and the atrocities committed by them in the name of their master."

The developer calls it "lethally replayable by design" as there are multiple solutions to one problem. So race the leaderboards and unravel the secrets of the mysterious cult and its leader.
