About
The End of the Sun: Prologue is a part of the full version of the game, The End of the Sun.

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.
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.
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.

Вечно эти демки обрываются на самом интересном месте, оставляя после себя только недоумение и легкий зуд в кошельке - мол, ну купи уже полную версию, не будь жмотом, а вдруг там дальше шедевр в который я не поиграю... Если вдруг этот мой спич наберёт 50 лайков и 10 наград, я, как мужик сказал, так и сделаю: куплю наконец полную версию на распродаже, поиграю 100 часов, значок улучшу и реально пойду в церковь, поставлю свечку разрабам, чтоб они и дальше клепали крутые проекты, а не только дразнили нас кусочками. ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⢀⡠⠤⠖⢒⠂⢤⣀ ⢀⣀⠀⠀⠀⢠⠖⠁⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠢⣥⣢⠀⠀⣠⣤ ⣟⣿⠀⣰⡿⠿⠷⠶⣄⠀⠀⠀⢠⠾⠟⠛⠛⢷⢀⣿⣇ ⠿⡂⢴⠁⠀⠀⠀⢀⠈⠆⠠⣮⣴⢤⡀⣀⣸⣗⣶⡧⠒ ⠀⠀⢹⠀⠀⠴⣺⣿⣿⠇⠀⠀⠛⡿⣽⣿⣽⠿⠛⢻⠀ ⠀⠀⡌⠀⠀⠈⠉⢩⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣸⣒⣄⠀⠀⠀⠀⠇ ⠀⠀⡇⠀⢀⡴⠖⠉⠛⠓⠲⠶⠾⠿⠿⠿⢏⡳⡀⠄⣾ ⠀⠀⠃⠀⠞⠀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣀⣤⣤⣶⣿⣇⢧⠀⣿ ⠀⠀⡄⠀⠀⠀⠈⠫⢽⣽⣉⣹⣁⣧⣿⠟⣱⣿⣾⢀⣿ ⠀⠀⢃⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠉⠙⠩⠤⠭⣶⣋⡟⢸⢁⣿⠏ ⠀⠀⠀⠱⡀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠛⠝⡇⣘⡾⠋⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠈⠢⣀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⣠⣴⣷⠋⠀ ⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠀⠑⠠⠤⠤⠤⠤⠾⠟⠋⠁
🎮 Огляд гри: Атмосферна пригода, що занурює гравця у світ слов’янської культури та міфології. Гра поєднує в собі дослідження оточення, розгадування головоломок і медитативну подорож по мальовничих локаціях, де важливу роль відіграє як графіка, так і музичний супровід. Пролог дозволяє відчути настрій майбутньої гри, а також зануритися у її особливу атмосферу. ⭐ Загальна оцінка: Це тільки пролог, але захотілось зіграти повну гру. Пролог реально сподобався, графіка на висоті, озвучка персонажів і музика все пропрацьовано дуже якісно. А ще приємно, що гра нам близька — адже вона про слов’ян, що не може не тішити. Є доволі цікаві головоломки та бродіння по карті, для любителів пригод саме те, особливо якщо хочеться спокійної гри, а не бійок на мечах. Обов’язково випробую повну версію, бо початок інтригує.

Fantastica storia interattiva, piena zeppa di dettagli e sfaccettature. Un'avventura davvero immersiva, una storia fino ad'ora coinvolgente con vari spunti e meccaniche uniche che non anticiperò, ma che rendono il tutto appagante ed impegnativo il giusto. Il tutto basato sulla cultura slava, con sciamani, spiriti, forze della natura e creature tutte ottimamente rappresentate e descritte. Tutto ha un posto ed un perchè, non sono "sparati" nel gioco a caso. Ottimo, consigliatissimo. Il gioco completo non è da meno.

Создатели игры не имеют НИ МАЛЕЙШЕГО понятия о том как жили наши предки, в описываемый период времени. Диалоги посредственны. Игра актёров озвучивания ужасна. Домовой отыграл лучше всех! Идея игры - замечательная, но воплощение задуманного...
1,5 Stunden Spielspaß als Ausblick auf das gesamte Spiel. Es ist auf Englisch und Polnisch spielbar. Beim Hauptspiel werde ich mal die polnische Sprachausgabe testen - es gibt ja Untertitel. Die englische Sprachausgabe ist völlig in Ordnung. Die Gesänge fand ich sehr schön. Ich habe komplett mit dem Steam Deck gespielt und dabei für mich zufriedenstellende Bildraten erreicht, obwohl ich das Deck noch auf 10 TDP gedrosselt habe. Ohne die Drosselung schafft es über 30 FPS, aber der Lüfter springt dann auch an. Ich freue mich auf das vollständige Spielerlebnis. Die Rätsel, die erst durch Wechsel der Jahreszeit gelöst werden können, finde ich eine interessante. Beim Jahreszeitenwechsel wird passenderweise in einen anderen Lebensabschnitt der Protagonisten der Geschichte gewechselt. Das Rätsel am Ende habe ich mit Absicht so oft falsch gelöst, um eine Errungenschaft zu erhalten. Danach gibt es zur Belohnung sogar die Lösung. Mir hat es Spaß gemacht. Wobei ich die römischen Zahlen nach den Jahreszeiten verwirrend finde. Die hätten vielleicht in Klammern gesetzt werden sollen, sollen die doch die Reihenfolge der Jahreszeiten angeben. Eine schöne Demo! Leider kein Steam-Cloud-Save.
Best slavic walking sim available.
A super Prologue, the graphics are spectacular but the best thing is the song by Domovoj
nice interactive walkthrough story, with some puzzles. i'll def. be buying the full game.
Polish voices is must have language option there to fit the atmosphere! Default american english is wasting the tale.
