Publisher Devolver Digital and indie developer Rene Rother have announced a free update for Children of the Sun that adds a new horde mode.

Here’s a rundown on the update, plus a new trailer:

Nightmare Paralysis is a free update available now for all players, introduces a challenging new horde mode that will truly test THE GIRL’s tele-kill-netic abilities to send one bullet flying in new directions after it lands a hit.

Take on entire platoons of THE CULT’s brainwashed minions, but watch out for a new enemy that can fire back. The sniper cultist has a bullet with your name on it, and will put a premature end to your quest for vengeance if you don’t find a way to deal with them. And if you’re wondering how THE GIRL can take on an entire horde of cultists with only one bullet, well, now she can reload: by shooting herself.

Nightmare Paralysis also features dynamic weather, levels that shift as you play and more. This update adds a whole new dimension to Children of the Sun’s violent road trip of revenge, and it’s available right now on PC, free to everyone who owns the game.

Children of the Sun has been available since April 2024 for Windows PC (via Steam).
