The End of the Sun: Prologue is a part of the full version of the game, The End of the Sun. It includes the beginning of the game and one mission that provides an opportunity to delve deeper into the Slavic world and learn the basic game mechanics . Materials such as trailers and screenshots available on the website are also from the full version of the game. The End of the Sun is a first-person, adventure, story-driven mystery game, set in the fantasy world of Slavic beliefs, legends, and mythical creatures. The small village becomes a place of enigmatic events, through which the line between myth and reality begins to fade perilously. Unravel the secrets flickering in the fire! As the ashter, a Slavic sage sorcerer gifted with the ability to travel in time and knowledge about the otherworld, following the trail of the unusual fugitive, you come to a mysterious village. Unfortunately, you cannot find anyone there, at least not in the way you expected to. All you can see around you are burned hearths. The game is inspired by Slavic mythology and legends. The story presents the mysterious events occurring during the major Slavic festivals in all four seasons, far away from each other in time. The gameplay is a mix of exploration and adventure mystery games with unorthodox riddles to solve, but the storyline comes first here. FEATURE LIST Photogrammetry of ethnographic museums – To get unique graphics, we visited ethnographic museums. We scanned hundreds of objects and entire buildings, so you can admire them in the game the way they actually are. Time travel – Teleport between four main seasons far away from each other by many years. Get to know the stories of the same heroes at different stages of their lives. Use your power to solve the mystery! Non-linear and engaging story – Experience particular immersive stories at your own pace and at the moment you feel like it. Consequences of time manipulation – Set the paths of fate and bring the course of events back on the right track to discover further fragments of the game world and story. Events from the past have an impact on the future. Slavic culture – Enjoy not only the immersive story but also look at the long-forgotten everyday activities and objects that are no longer used today. Exploration and Open World – Travel between the homesteads and the surroundings of the village, discovering pieces of the mystery that lies somewhere there. Dynamic environment – The time of day, weather, and lighting change smoothly and dynamically right before your eyes as you discover parts of the mystery. 

Press reviews: “Get ready for truly witcher-like encounters and investigations involving mythological creatures such as drowners or nightwraiths, the rituals of Forefathers’ Eve, Kupala Night, and even mushroom trips in the company of the kind-hearted Slavic god Svarog.” CD-Action “A title that has been in development for many years, but after this long wait, it manages to be highly appreciated for the depth of the stories woven into the narrative and its rather stunning technical and graphical quality, very close to another similar work: What Remains of Edith Finch.” Gamescore “Clearly nothing was done half-heartedly in the development of this game, and I thoroughly enjoyed my time with it. It definitely sparked my own wanderlust, and is sure to kindle the interest of anyone who appreciates exploring other historical cultures.” Adventure Game Hot Spot
