The False Sun is a visual novel that blends dating sim gameplay with psychological horror and yandere elements. The story begins quietly enough: the protagonist has been away for several years, but has come back to his grandfather's farm to lend a hand with the chores. But this return also stirs distant memories of a summer the narrator has almost forgotten.
You meet Silus, who claims to be an old childhood friend of yours, and that you were once in love. The problem is you don't know if that's actually true.
The protagonist had a childhood accident with water that caused memory loss, especially when stressed. In the old village dreams, familiar places and conversations start to reassemble those broken memories.
Meanwhile Silus’s suspicions grow ever keener. He knows your history well, but sometimes displays a disturbing eagerness to tell you what you remember, where you go, and even whom you speak to.
The False Sun is mostly about reading the story and making choices. Though there are no elaborate action sequences, your choices can change the course of the story.
Many times you will have to decide what to do about Silus, whether to trust him, doubt him, reject him, or keep your distance. Small choices can affect the relationship between characters, and lead to drastically different outcomes.
Between story bits you do small farm tasks such as looking after animals, feeding them or picking up eggs. These activities offer a small change of pace before the atmosphere grows more and more charged with mystery.
The False Sun has 20 different endings, making it difficult to discover the entire story in a single playthrough. Some endings are based on finding out the truth too late, while others are based on decisions that lead to escape, or other routes in the story. Each replay is like walking into the same house, but this time you know something is waiting behind the door, because you can never tell which choice is really the safe one.
The False Sun starts as a nostalgic romance and gradually turns into a game of memory, suspicion and the struggle to know who to trust. If you enjoy conversations that seem normal on the surface but have an undercurrent of unease, then this is an experience to try.
When you’ve uncovered the secrets beneath the false sun of The False Sun, you can read Killer Chat, where online conversations can be much more dangerous than you think.
