Become a tracker of mythical beings and supernatural forces. Wield the power of the fire of time, explore an ancient land, solve unusual riddles, and experience extraordinary adventures, all part of a greater, captivating story. Find your target, bring order to the chaos of time in the mysterious village, and uncover the secrets that lie within! You are the Ashter – a Slavic fire mage who wields time. You arrive in a village where reality has been distorted, and the villagers have left behind only smoldering hearths. Through your ability to bond with fire, you see what is hidden from others – traces, mythical beings, and spirits of past events. Will you be able to harness your powers to stop the ancient powers and change the inhabitants’ fate? The End of the Sun is a mystery-filled first-person adventure and exploration game set in a Slavic fantasy world. The core gameplay focuses on discovering an open world using a magical map and forming connections with bonfires. Each bond reveals new traces and events invisible to ordinary people. Fully kindled bonfires become gateways to time travel. 1. TRACK – Merge with fire and let it guide you Step into the role of a supernatural tracker. Follow the trail of a mythical being and uncover secrets hidden among blazing bonfires. Each hearth you connect with is a unique investigation, filled with unusual riddles and serving as a gateway to the ancient Slavic world — a realm of magic, fantastic creatures, mythology, and forgotten rituals. Every fire of time you ignite is a piece of the larger tale. 2. UNLEASH THE POWER – Use the flames to travel through time and shape human destinies Feel the might of the fire of time. Influence the paths of heroes’ fates — restore the course of events to its rightful track and discover new fragments of an epic story. Travel across four seasons, separated from each other by many years. Witness the lives of the same heroes at different stages, during the greatest Slavic festivals. Time and hearths are intertwined. Your actions affect the world around you — make changes and carefully observe the consequences. 3. INVESTIGATE – Explore a mysterious village, born from the real world and museum treasures Hundreds of museum artifacts and entire buildings, brought into the game from the real world through photogrammetry, open before you a land where every detail matters. Freely roam the ancient village and its one-of-a-kind surroundings. As you explore this open world, conduct a supernatural investigation rooted in Slavic mythology — more authentic and immersive than ever before. 

Press reviews: “This is a beautiful game that takes you on a rich magical journey to discover what’s really important, and does it so well it’s sure to warm even the hardest of hearts.” 93/100 – Adventure Game Hotspot “The End of the Sun is much more than just a narrative adventure: it's an experience that invites you to reflect on time, traditions, and the stories that shape our lives. [...] 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.” 8/10 – Game Score “It’s one of the most ambitious and most relaxing walking simulators of recent years. […] Get ready as well 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
