- The "Holy Leuche Bundle" has arrived. - 8 October 2026
A train across the barren plains, and a witness to history.Two stories by Tatamibeya, together in one bundle.FARAWAY TRAINSome call these barren plains the narrow space between this world and the next, the final place for souls to find a measure of peace. An endless train travels through them. Waking aboard it, you seek clues about the fleeting life of Empress Roxelana, whose actions brought the world to ruin, and about the fall of an empire and the forgotten noble girl history left behind.A first-person, travelogue-style adventure game where no landscape is ever seen twice.The End of HistoryReleased into the world as a nameless masterless warrior, you may serve, rule, love, or simply watch history unfold. Who you become is up to you.The more war and hatred pile up, the closer the world comes to collapse, until history itself ends. As the last of a long-lived people, you are charged wit…

- "The End of History" 2026.8.31 Update & Patch Notes - 31 August 2026
📢: Items marked with this icon are improvements made based on player feedback.UpdatesExpanded Conversations That Convey a Character's Intent📢When an "Affiliation Changed" notice appears on the right side of the screen and the character is one of your vassals or a character you are observing, hovering over it now opens that character's Talk UI. They explain in their own words why they changed their affiliation. You can now follow not only who moved where, but the reasons behind it.📢Changed the dialogue spoken when one of your vassals rebels against you or declares independence so that it better reflects their situation. Motives such as holding a grudge against you, or having World Conquest as their ambition, now come through in their words. Defections that looked like sudden betrayals can be traced back to a reason.Specification / Balance AdjustmentsAdded a mouse-hover UI when request…
- "The End of History" Developer Letter #7 - August 2026 - 31 August 2026
Thank you as always for playing "The End of History".Here is our report on August, along with our development plans for September. Looking Back on AugustCentered on the adjustments to "World Collapse" described in our last letter, we delivered an update on August 27.Below we explain the intent behind its main points. Making World Collapse ReadableIn the last letter, we said we wanted to present "why it is rising, and how it can be lowered" more clearly. As a first step, we have had the witch Ashbury speak about World Collapse.When you found a country, an event now occurs in which Ashbury explains World Collapse. After that, you can call her at any time from the crystal icon on the World Collapse panel to hear hints on lowering it.We believe the feedback that it "feels like a time limit" comes largely from not being able to see what World Collapse is responding to, so we prioritized maki…

She now diagnoses your play style based on the state of the world at that moment and your past logs.Added Tutorial…

- "The End of History" Update & Patch Notes - June 25, 2026 - 25 June 2026
UpdatesOverhauled the right-side "Bookmark" panel by integrating it with the notification system.Various notifications and vassal proposals that used to appear in the center of the screen during play are now all collected in the right-side "Bookmark," organized by category.Panels that appear during pauses, such as the loot-acquisition panel after a battle victory, continue to be displayed in the center of the screen as before.Vassal proposals now internally record the state of "a vassal is waiting for the player's response," and this state is preserved even after saving and loading. Added a "Have a vassal do it" button to the order notifications in the Bookmark.Pressing the button opens the order panel, letting you issue the order to a vassal.When you have no vassals, the button is grayed out, and hovering over it explains why. This makes it clear that even orders you cannot yet accompl…

- "The End of History" 2026.5.27 Update & Patch Notes - 27 May 2026
UpdatesIntroduction of the "Pincer" SystemOn the battlefield, blue grids are displayed on the ground beneath allied soldiers and red grids beneath enemies.When one side flanks the other's grid, soldiers within the flanked grid enter a "Pincer" state and the ground flashes yellow.In this state, attacks from any direction deal heavy damage, equivalent to a parry state.In large-scale battles involving multiple commanders, if several units attempt to pincer an entire enemy force from opposite directions, all soldiers on the surrounded side enter the "Pincer" state, potentially causing their fighting strength to collapse at once.Positioning, formations, and who arrives on the battlefield from where are now more important than ever.Introduction of the "Combat Arts" SystemApproximately 30 types of diverse "Combat Arts" across Levels 1-5 have been introduced. Players gradually learn them by win…
