Taking place on the continent of Arvium, the land was previously ravaged by [[PersonOfMassDestruction the Demon King]], a being of immense power that disrupted mana in the world, creating monsters and twisting the forces of nature around him. A long and bloody war was waged across the continent to stop the King's slaughter, but all seemed hopeless. Possessing immortality that rendered any attempt at killing him impossible, the greatest magical scholars of the era nevertheless found a solution. With the aid of the Eight Legendary Heroes, the Demon King's soul was eventually removed from his body, and its host was slain. But that was only the beginning.

''[[https://store.steampowered.com/app/1969060/Path_of_the_Midnight_Sun/ Path of the Midnight Sun]]'' is a EasternRPG Visual Novel developed by ''Studio Daimon''. It previously began its life as a [[GameMod ROM hack]] for ''VideoGame/FireEmblemTheSacredStones'' known as just ''[[VideoGame/MidnightSunFireEmblem Midnight Sun]]'', but quickly grew beyond the scope of a simple hack. In 2019, a [[https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/studiodaimon/path-of-the-midnight-sun-a-dark-fantasy-jrpg-vn successful Kickstarter campaign]] funded the game. After three years of development, including hand-drawn art, receiving professional voice acting, and a fully orchestrated soundtrack, the game released on January 10, 2023 on UsefulNotes/{{Steam}}.
Taking place on the continent of Arvium, the land was previously ravaged by [[PersonOfMassDestruction the Demon King]], a being of immense power that disrupted mana in the world, creating monsters and twisting the forces of nature around him. Possessing immortality that rendered any attempt at killing him impossible, the greatest magical scholars of their time removed his soul, and killed his body, but that was only the beginning. The Demon King's soul was not so easily destroyed, and soon found new hosts known as Vassals to contain its power. Sixty years later, the third Vassal, Princess Faratras of Hoikade, struggles to train her body and mind to contain it. Until one day, her control slips...
The game takes place across three perspectives, with their own choices to manage. From your opinions, to your relationships with other characters, you'll have to manage everything from the food you eat, to the sanity lost, and carefully balance the time you spend, both in battle and in VisualNovel segments.

!!The Vassal's tropes are unbending!
* AfterCombatRecovery: A percentage of HP is recovered after a battle.
* AmnesiacHero: Suzaku, one of the viewpoint characters, struggles to remember who he is, while Shiori fills him in on the details.
* BlackMagic: Faratras specializes in this type, though it's not seen as especially evil in the setting. Several characters are mentioned to use it, and you can find several books on the subject.
* BlindSeer: Shiori is a blind priestess with the ability to sense the darker emotions of others called Malice.
* CriticalStatusBuff: The more damage a character takes, the more mana they have to cast. As magic is otherwise hard to obtain, the player will have to carefully manage their health while planning out stronger spells in future turns.
* DerivativeDifferentiation: While much of the setting and characters are very similar to its origins as a GameMod of ''Franchise/FireEmblem'', battle mechanics are very different. Instead of tactical turn-based maps as the main source of gameplay, maps are instead relegated to shaping the composition of encounters, with the battles themselves using row-based formations. Sanity and hunger mechanics are a prominent part of resource management, while a time system that effects your actions advances with each action, similar to the ''VideoGame/DevilSurvivor'' games.
* PointAndClickMap: Nearly every action in the game uses the mouse as a cursor to interact with the environment, from finding items, to FlavorText, and talking with characters.
* TimedMission: Just about everything requires you to manage your time on the clock.
* VoiceGrunting: While key scenes and moments are voiced, the game uses ''VideoGame/FireEmblem''-esque general statements to sum up a textbox's atmosphere.
