About the 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.

- Celia Bayliss (Jamwitch Games)
