Features:

• 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.

It has full voice acting full English and Polish with subtitles available for German, Spanish, Russian, French, Czech, Simplified Chinese, Italian, and Ukrainian.

The developer did send over a key and the Linux version runs fine, although you'll need a good system to run it on as even at 1080p on Medium it was often struggling to hit 60FPS on my Radeon 6800 XT. Featuring lots of quite beautiful scenery, and a story that really captures your attention (although it's slow going) from the very beginning. Full of mystery, the story is centred around a small valley and village where a creature resembling the mythical Phoenix which appears to be setting things ablaze. The time-travelling mechanic is interesting too, with you seeing the way time moves as you interact with the world.

The End of the Sun is a slow but thoughtful and thoroughly interesting adventure.
