Under the dead sun

Game overview

Under the Dead Sun is a turn-based JRPG set in a post-apocalyptic world where the sun has been dead for three hundred years. Players awaken beneath a mountain of corpses, with no memories or name, and must navigate a fractured world filled with three factions vying for control over humanity's future. The gameplay involves exploration, choice, and complex faction politics without quest markers or logs.

Factions

The game features three distinct factions, each with its own philosophy about humanity's survival. The last true humans fight for mere existence through breeding and sacrificing freedom. The Umbral Lifebringers, who practice necromancy, believe that death is only a stage in life and aim to preserve intelligent undead. The Ironborn Consortium advocates for technological enhancement, either through mechanical replacements or complete abandonment of flesh. Players can align with one faction or choose to walk alone.
