About this game
In 1968, the once prosperous company town of Cerro Milagroso vanished in a single week. The official story said that a fire had destroyed the town, along with all but one of the town's 724 residents, but you don't buy it. There's a bigger story that lies beneath, and you will be the one to find it. Funeral for the Sun is a non-linear detective game rooted in Latin American history that allows you to enter a world of memories and deduce secrets beyond your wildest imaginations.
QUOTES:
“One of the most unique environments and world building I've seen in the mystery genre.”
- Robin Ward (The Roottrees are Dead)
“I especially love how I get to trace how characters change over the generations. That gives the narrative a depth I haven't seen elsewhere, while remaining grounded in the well-crafted personal stories and engaging puzzles I look for in this genre.”
- Celia Bayliss (Jamwitch Games)
“Funeral of the Sun is an intergenerational story that connects the past and present through Puerto Rican culture and the roots of colonialism. It’s an experience blending art and history, highlighting cultural shifts that really feel boricua.”

Funeral for the Sun will run on Mac and Steam Deck! (and a change to controls)
Hi everyone!If you have a mac or a Steam Deck, I have a very important task for you!I am currently hard at work creating and optimizing a playable mac and Steam Deck build for Funeral for the Sun, so that more of you guys have access to the game! Since I don't have either of these devices, I'm requesting your help with playtesting the demo as it exists on Steam! Let me know if it runs well, and if you run into any bugs on my discord channel here: https://discord.gg/JpGWCBcFQ5In addition to that, I've also made a big change regarding the controls. Initially I wanted the player to move around with wasd, and using 'E' to interact. However, I have found that player experience is far better with pure point and click controls, and for a few months now I've been quietly optimizing around that. This way, everything in the game is intended to work purely with a click of the mouse. This means that for Steam Deck, I intend to make the game compatible with touch controls and the trackpad as the primary mode of interaction.Finally, I want you guys to keep an eye out for an exciting announcement coming really soon! I'm pretty sure some of you can take a guess already but I wouldn't want to spoil the surprise.Read full article on Community Announcements (nicogcid)AnnouncementsOfficial

A simplified chinese translation of this demo is expected to be released later this year.Read full article on Community Announcements (nicogcid)AnnouncementsOfficial
