The story is nice. As far as graphics go, well, there’s a total of 8 still scenes in the entire game, and of course, the text. That’s it. It's a very short narrative, but you must play 3 times to get all the endings (which are pretty much the same, tbh). It takes about 10 minutes for each playthrough, depending on how fast you read or how quickly you click through the dialog in the 2nd and 3rd playthroughs, as most of the dialog is repeated for each play. So, if you’re going for all 3 endings, it will take about 30 minutes or less. Being a free game, I can't complain too much, but I went ahead and purchased the .99 DLC to see what it might add. Also, come to find out, there's one last achievement with the DLC that you would miss if you only played the free game. In other words, you have to buy the DLC to get 100%. As I had come this far and finished three playthroughs, I thought, "What the heck, I might as well go for the 100% achievement score, otherwise, not getting all the achievements would affect my 'Perfect Games' and ‘Average Game Completion’ ratings." Well, the DLC didn't add much. Just a paragraph or two of new "Intro" text... and that one extra achievement you need fo…

Sunset's Ashes is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This is an ebook about 2 characters on a mountain climb. The book's narrative centers around them sharing memories and discovering the significance of this climb. Now, while this differs from your usual garbage high school anime club dropout fan-fiction in that it's not about the authors imaginary girlfriend, it's still as badly written and every bit as cringey as a 13 year old goth girls poetry, and should be avoided for that reason alone. Also, it's not a game. Visual novels/e-books are tedious at best... imagine the best novel you ever read, be that Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy or 2001: A Space Odyssey or Twilight (if you have terrible …

Sunset's Ashes — атмосферная RPG с постапокалиптическим сюжетом. Открытый мир, разрушенный войной и природными катаклизмами, погружает в мрачную эпопею выживания. Графика впечатляет: засушливые пейзажи, обломки городов, тени дыма. Геймплей сочетает исследование, квесты и элементы стратегии. Однако сложная система управления и частые баги портят опыт. Сюжет глубокий, но диалоги сухие. Подойдёт ценителям жанра, но требует терпения.
