About the Game
The End of The Sun is set in a beautifully crafted world inspired by Slavic rituals, beliefs, and legends. Players step into the role of Ashter as they unravel mysteries across shifting seasons and lifetimes. The game begins in a mysterious village marked by burnt-out bonfires, where players navigate through dynamic environments to uncover secrets hidden in the ashes of the past.
With the power to manipulate time, players witness key events in the lives of villagers and explore how their choices shape the present and future. Here are some of the game’s standout features:
- Authentic Worldbuilding: Leveraging photogrammetry, the game recreates detailed environments, including entire buildings and artifacts from real-world ethnographic museums. Players will immerse themselves in a setting that’s as historically accurate as it is visually stunning.
- Nonlinear Storyline: Explore the story at your own pace and uncover hidden layers that evolve with the seasons and years, allowing for multiple paths and discoveries.
- Time-Travel Mechanics: Shift between four distinct periods—spring, summer, autumn, and winter—to experience different stages in villagers’ lives. Each period is separated by years, providing a unique perspective on how time affects the characters and their surroundings.
- Slavic Culture and Mysticism: Dive deep into forgotten traditions, uncover ancient rituals, and encounter mythical creatures rooted in Slavic folklore, offering an enriching cultural experience.
- Dynamic Gameplay Environment: Real-time changes in weather, lighting, and the time of day create a constantly evolving atmosphere that demands adaptation and discovery.
The End of The Sun releases on January 29, 2025. Available initially on PC with plans for console releases in the future, this indie gem promises to deliver an immersive experience combining history, mythology, and rich storytelling.
