Search the ashes of an abandoned Latin American town and uncover 400 years of secrets. An epic non-linear mystery where you travel back in time and untangle the history of a community cursed by generations of supernatural forces.
🔸 EXPECTATIONS: a 'family tree' type of detective game.
🔸 REALITY: a narrative deduction game with a "characters' connections map" mechanic.
🔷 Funeral for the Sun is primarily a narrative game, divided into chapters (although not explicit within the game) in which you need to witness past events and extract information from those, to create a map...
Funeral for the Sun is magical. No other deduction game is doing narrative like this - sweeping, multigenerational, with deep thematic resonance across literal centuries, yet totally grounded in individual characters' stories and relationships.
One of my favorite things about The Roottrees Are Dead is seeing what happens to characters over the course...
Brilliant deduction game built on multigenerational nested narratives. Like "The Roottrees are Dead" meets "One Hundred Years of Solitude."
Absolutely fantastic. I wouldn't have thought that combining something like The Rootrees are Dead with 100 Years of Solitude-style magical realism would work, but it is absolutely a homerun. You're going to run into what feel like dead ends, just like any of this type of game, but I was only reduced to making guesses and hoping once.
The style is beautiful...
Amazing game, fully deserving of your time and a playthrough. Read the store page to see what it's about and what it entails, and then jump right in if it strikes your fancy!
