The End of the Sun could be the truly Slavic game that fans of Eastern European culture have been waiting for. Folk history, a realistic depiction of a bygone era, and objects scanned by photogrammetry - it may be a simple walking sim, but it is also a remarkable project of craftsmanship.

It’s a walking simulator with no soul, a puzzle game with no challenge. If you want to spend hours wandering an empty island trying to piece together a story that honestly should have been a movie or a short film, then sure, The End of the Sun might scratch that itch. But for me, this is a hard pass.

The game is a nice and chill walking sim, with some slightly interesting folklore turned into basic puzzle gameplay. The visuals steal the show and they elevate the relatively mundane slice of life scenes by infusing them with some magical property. Mostly particle effects. The story didn't really grab me, it felt more exploration focused, but the gameplay loop is quite repetitive.
