Publisher WorldMap and solo developer Tatami-Beya are offering the sandbox strategy RPG "The End of History" at a 30% discount on Steam, the largest price cut since its early access release. The sale runs from June 26 to July 10, 2026, bringing the price to 1,960 yen. The discount coincides with a major update that marks six months of early access, which began on December 10, 2025. Over that period, the game has received community-driven improvements including a family tree UI for visualizing interpersonal relationships, a flanking system and combat skills for tactical depth, and numerous UI enhancements. The latest update adds a History Timeline UI that lets players review world events chronologically. The game is a historical observation simulation set in a medieval-style world where players are ordinary inhabitants who observe and intervene in procedurally generated history. A free demo is available, allowing two in-game years of play with save data that carries over to the full version.
Before entering early access, the game won the Digital Dragons 2024 Indie Showcase "Activision Special Award" and was selected for the Agency for Cultural Affairs Media Arts Creator Development Support Program (FY2024).
The affinity system introduced over the six months embodies "the enemy of my enemy is my friend." Players can see which NPCs like or dislike a certain character in taverns, the family tree, and pre-battle screens. The revamped tavern conversation system lets players react with agreement, disagreement, or deflection, and those choices affect the impressions of both the conversation partner and third parties, visualized immediately.
The combat skills system contains approximately 30 skills across levels 1 to 5. Players select skills based on enemy formations and their own army's characteristics. The latest update before the sale also improved the notification system and added a text size adjustment option. The developer published "Developer Letter #5" on Steam News to summarize the changes.
The Steam page lists the game in Japanese, English, Simplified Chinese, and Traditional Chinese.
