A New Retro-JRPG Inspired by Welsh Mythology

After her temple is raided, Carys finds herself at the mercy of Bleddyn, a Gwyllgi feared by society. But Carys finds that their differences only bring them closer - inspiring them both to seek answers to the events that led both their lives down a dark path. Toward Dawn features mythical beasts and themes inspired by Celtic legends - exploring the delicate subject of trauma and cycles of abuse that appear in such tales.

Explore a vibrant pixel world, matched by a charming and memorable cast of characters while you experience the story in animated scenes. Upgrade your abilities with individual skill trees, while you craft equipment that bestow unique actions and traits, tailoring the characters to your preferred playstyle.

With a combat system partially inspired by the Grandia and Octopath Traveler, BREAK your enemies' poise, removing their action and making them vulnerable to high damage. There are no random encounters or forced grinding, the focus is instead on your tactics and how you have chosen to develop the characters.

Get to know the characters more by viewing optional Skits, be distracted with the Dragon's Guard cardgame, and meet a variety of colourful characters in sidequests!

Characters

Carys
An Incanter of the Two Dragons, one of the few survivors after Bleddyn rescues her from the destruction of her temple. Finding strength in her new companion, she swears vengeance upon those that destroyed her former life.

Bleddyn

A Gwyllgi of the Coedwig, an imposing werewolf who wields an even larger sword. Shrouded in mystery, he begrudgingly takes Carys into his forest home, where he finally begins to open up to another person.

Idwal Thornfield

The first-born son and heir to the Thornfield demesne. Quiet, meek, and hiding behind his long hair, Idwal is rescued by Carys and Bleddyn and sets in motion a plot that will test friendships, question motivations and bring the truth to light.

You say "werewolf" and I am there. You add "werewolf romance" and I am wholly dedicated to enjoying the game. Did I? Well yeah! Even werewolves aside (never), I thought that the game had plenty to offer to keep one interested. Combat is engaging and there are plenty of skills/combos to go around. The weapons/armor give you different skills too and you can change stuff up at any time (outside of battle that is). It's challenging and each enemy has something new to poke and prod you with, making you experiment with different things. Oh and the way the enemy's silhouette looks like? That's hilarious. Love it. There is also no map and I got lost... Once maybe. What I am saying is... You will always find yourself near the next objective or a character will tell you where to go. Story well... The romance wasn't the focus and I get it. It was sweet however and I liked the main characters. I like the little "skits" too and there is even a card game to boot! It was nice, not ...
