I was blown away, even though the game is short, only 15 to 20 minutes. After finishing the game, I spent a lot of time learning about the game and trying to understand the story that the developer was conveying, because I was really impressed by it.
The End of the World is a story made by Sean Wenham 3 months after his breakup, and the story of the game should take place in Newcastle. The game's not complex, you search for memories of old days with your girlfriend in a broken inner city. I can feel the emotions that the author wants to convey, the loneliness, the loss, the broken city, the rainy weather, the depressing music, really touched me. As the game presented, when the person you love is gone, you are just numb, The days still seem to pass normally, And suddenly, a nostalgic object suddenly pulled you back to the memories, All sadness flood you.
The game has a total of three endings.
The first ending: return to reality, sitting on a chair. Represents the loss of love after he came out of all the memories, back to the crowd. Back to peace.
The second ending: running to memories, turned into ashes. It means that after the loss of love, he did not come out from the memories and chose to say goodbye to the world with death.
The third ending: drunk and sober, drifting on the sea. Representing the lost love after he was addicted to drinking all day, but after so many memories, so that he chose to start a new journey.
Finally, the game and an old song I like very much have the same name, perhaps everyone and listened to, The End of the World.
Why does the sun go on shining?
Why does the sea rush to shore?
Don't they know it's The End of the World
Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing?
Why do the stars glow above?
Don't they know it's The End of the World
It ended when I lost your love
I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating?
Why do these eyes of mine cry?
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye
