About The End of the Sun: Prologue

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.

Developed by The End of the Sun Team and published by The End of the Sun Forge, The End of the Sun: Prologue is an atmospheric narrative adventure that introduces players to a world shaped by ancient Slavic traditions, forgotten rituals, and supernatural mysteries. Rather than delivering an action-heavy experience, the game focuses on careful exploration, immersive storytelling, and environmental detail. As a standalone prologue, it serves as an engaging first chapter that establishes the setting, introduces key gameplay mechanics, and offers a meaningful glimpse into the larger adventure awaiting in the full release. It immediately distinguishes itself through its commitment to folklore and historical authenticity, making it appealing to players who appreciate story-driven experiences over fast-paced gameplay. The story places players in the role of an ashter, a mystical wanderer with the extraordinary ability to travel across different points in time. Upon arriving at an abandoned settlement where only extinguished hearths and lingering memories remain, the player is tasked with uncovering the truth behind the village's disappearance. Instead of presenting the mystery in a linea…

i played a bit of this and quite enjoyed it, clearly a lot of passion, interesting cultural myth and lore wrapped up in here. Having said that a few issues - - i couldn't find a controller option, I managed on keys but it stopped getting through more if this and fully immersed as that's what I find more comfortable. couldn't seem to switch - I understand the reason the world is presented as it is but I found it a bit hard to get into it the way it was presented as it felt just a little too disjointed and confusing but possibly I didn't give it enough time. I'm going to keep an eye on it still and try it again. I enjoy immersive games and cultural lore and heritage learning. Hope this team keep going and maybe make a few refinements and also find great new projects. I'm sure I'll come back to this again. a beautiful world

This is a seriously must have position for people that are interested in slavic culture. It is and indie game but has a high production value. Additionaly I recommend it to all the people that like puzzles and narrative games.
