A bit slow at times but enjoyed this walk through mythology that we don't see a lot of in modern media.
The End of the Sun is akin to the fern flower hidden amidst the shadows of many other titles; A hidden silver, if not gold itself, not easily found among the clamor of modern games. Though the tale itself could have lingered longer, the close-up detail of certain objects falls behind other works of its age, and the movement at times feels somewhat archaic, I must still confess that my time spent within this world...
