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.

Ничего, пойдет, визуально неплохо, оптимизация посредственная, музыка неплохая, озвучка не очень, сюжет какой то есть, погружения не особо, модельки поразглядывать можно, насколько близко к славянским традициям не скажу, вроде похоже, геймплей скучный, кат сцены и анимационные вставки это все основное развлечение, а так же ходьба и поиск предметов...еще много чего делать, ну думаю если хотя бы сюжет покрепче будет то может с уже тем что есть, шансы у игры есть, пока только сеттинг
It pulls you in from the very first minutes: the atmosphere of campfires, mist, and Slavic tales really hits the mark. The voice acting is excellent and the music adds even more depth. If you enjoy games that you experience rather than just play through, it’s definitely worth trying.

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.
Krásná, kouzelná atmosféra plná našich mýtů, legend a nadpřirozena. V Polštině perfektní dabing.
Игра "The End of the Sun: Prologue" – потрясающее погружение в славянскую мифологию и культуру. Визуально проект невероятно красив, с детально проработанными пейзажами и аутентичной архитектурой польской деревни. Звуковое сопровождение атмосферное, идеально дополняет ощущение таинственности и мистики. Игровой процесс представляет собой неспешное исследование, где нужно решать головоломки, основанные на народных верованиях и предметах быта. Сюжет, хоть и короткий в данном прологе, захватывает с первых минут и оставляет ощущение незавершенности, требуя продолжения. Небольшие технические шероховатости, такие как иногда неудобное управление и редкие баги, не портят общего впечатления от игры. "The End of the Sun: Prologue" – это обязательный к ознакомлению проект для всех, кто интересуется славянской культурой и любит атмосферные приключенческие игры. Жду полную версию с нетерпением!
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
[h1]Świetna słowiańska historia, przynajmniej w wersji demo[/h1] Dziękuję całej Ekipie [b]The End of The Sun Team[/b] za to fantastyczne demo. Jest ono doskonale wyważone, bo obejmuje 3 krótkie historie (do których nawiązują 3 prologowe osiągnięcia), prezentuje mechaniki gry, przedstawia zagadki oraz fantastycznie nakreśla fabułę. Niecała godzina rozgrywki idealnie wystarczy do podjęcia decyzji, czy gra na dłuższą metę jest dla Ciebie, czy jednak nie dla Ciebie jest eksplorowanie słowiańskiego świata. A jak już jestem przy słowiańskości, bardzo dobrze zbudowany jest tutaj ten klimat. Piękne krajobrazy (las, rzeka, wioska), piosenki, tańce, elementy kultury, wydarzenia, ubiory, dekoracje... Taki tytuł był bardzo potrzebny dla każdego fana uniwersum naszych przodków. Prolog postawił wysoką poprzeczkę, jeśli chodzi o moje oczekiwania względem pełnej gry. Pełnej gry, którą na pewno niebawem kupię. Cieszę się, że taka demówka została opublikowana, bo nie zdradza ona za dużo, ale pokazuje wystarczająco dużo, by zachęcić (eksploracja, opowiadania, zagadki), albo zniechęcić (liniowość, brak akcji, proste mechaniki). „The End of The Sun" pod kątem swojego szkieletu bardzo skojarzyło mi się z inną produkcją polskiego studia - „Layers of Fear" - która też z resztą przypadła mi do gustu. [b]NA PEWNO[/b] zakupię pełną wersję gry, bo o ile początkowe minuty były dla mnie baaardzo chaotyczne, z biegiem misji zacząłem interesować się fabułą, pokazaniem słowiańskiej kultury i zagadkami pomagającymi wczuć się w historię. Dobra robota - polecam!
免费序章 有中文 有成就
Bardzo dobry przedsmak pełnej gry. W skondensowany i przyjemny sposób oddaje najważniejsze elementy rozgrywki.
[h1] 序章就这么丰满,正式版得满足成什么样啦♥ [/h1] 本来是不报希望的,但是游戏开始的时候就被质感惊讶到了。 叙事手法很鲜明,剧本也很好,各种场景描绘表现的也很棒。 各种解密设置的也很好,不会为了卡住你而卡住你,动动你聪明的脑瓜都能解决的。 唯一的缺点就是,这个视角移动的,让我一个不会3D眩晕的都眩晕了。 [h1] 莫怪独吟秋思苦,比君校近二毛年♥ [/h1]
