WorldMap, the indie game label operated by Try System, has announced that the demo version of its PC title [The End of History] will be released today (October 2, 2025) at 8:00 PM JST.
The game, scheduled for release later this year, is a sandbox-style strategy RPG set in a medieval-inspired world. It has been selected for the 2024 Agency for Cultural Affairs Media Arts Creator Development Support Program and won the Activision Special Prize at Digital Dragons 2024 Indie Showcase, earning significant attention both domestically and internationally.
The player takes on the role of an orphaned wanderer leaving behind their adoptive parents to journey through a world filled with complex NPC motivations—where cooperation and betrayal constantly intertwine. Whether the protagonist becomes a thief, merchant, knight, or even king depends entirely on the player’s choices.
Players are given one ultimate mission: to stop the world from collapsing. The world deteriorates as hatred and division grow. Every action taken by the player influences the world in some way, requiring careful observation and thoughtful decisions.
The demo version allows players to experience the first two years of the campaign mode. It features the same systems as the full release, enabling players to feel how accumulated choices shape the fate of the world.
