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.

A magical story perfect for winter holiday evenings
HAPPY HOLIDAY SEASONWe wish you peaceful, warm, and magical winter holiday season. We hope you’ll find a moment to visit our village, sit by the virtual bonfire, and simply relax. Thank you for being with us – it’s thanks to you that this story truly comes alive.A magical village for winter eveningsIn winter, many of us look for the same thing: something calm, a bit magical, that you can sink into in the evening after a long day. And with the winter holidays approaching, that feeling only grows stronger.The End of the Sun is exactly that kind of experience – like a film you come back to every holiday season. Except here, you decide where the fire and time will take you.Magic that doesn’t require “knowing the folklore”Our game draws from Slavic myths and rituals, but: – you don’t need to know any legends or history, – you don’t have to be “into Slavic culture” to feel at home here.All it takes is that you enjoy: – a magical atmosphere, like in the first films about young wizards,– engaging stories, uncovering mysteries and investigations,– calm games without rush and without combat.In The End of the Sun you arrive in a small village that exists slightly outside of ordinary time.Instead of rush and pressure, you’ll find:– bonfires that work like gates in time and help you discover a story across 4 seasons,– cozy cottage interiors with crackling fire,– birdsong, the sound of the river, wind in the trees, footsteps in snow and grass,– fragments of someone’s life, memories and everyday details slowly coming together into a story.The End of the Sun is not a long game. It’s a few evenings in a world meant to be a cozy, magical haven rather than just another “completed title” on your list.If you like games that let you simply listen to the world, look around and feel the atmosphere – The End of the Sun can be a lovely companion for this cozy winter holiday time.Share your “favorite place in the game” – your screenshots!If you come back (or play for the first time) this wint...Read full article on Community Announcements (The End of the Sun Forge)
