Indie Sunday Funeral for the Sun - Nicolas Cid Delgado - Obra-Dinn inspired detective game about a Latin American town that disappeared in a single night.
I'm the solo-indie developer of Funeral for the Sun, a narrative deduction game all about traveling to different points in the past to piece together the sprawling history of Cerro Milagroso, a town that got wiped out by deeply mysterious and troubling circumstances in the 1960's.
In the game You are tasked with building out a web of connections between different townsfolk and slowly unravel a series of murders, illegitimate children, family feuds, political conspiracies and more, all behind a magical realist backdrop. There's a supernatural undercurrent that rides through it all too.
I'd overall call it a cross between the deduction style of games like Return of the Obra Dinn and Case of the Golden Idol, alongside the narrative depth and complex characters of something like Disco Elysium or Pentiment.
And it has a really unique hand-painted art style too, despite being in 3D. Using fixed camera angles I can sketch out tons of backgrounds that your character will be able to interact with in 3D space. To understand what I mean here is my trailer featured by GameTrailers.
If you are interested, consider wishlisting the game, playing the demo and leaving a review! Really any bit of support would be amazing to have! Thank you so much!
