dawngrowth feels like a couple interesting ideas thrown together in a very short span of time without much deliberation put into shaping them into something fun or engaging. it clearly wears aspirations of being a cute wholesome comfy game about emotions but it falls short of evoking anything in me beyond it being nice to look at. there's not much to see here and what is here is fairly rough. i'll say again that the game looks nice, the pixel art is competently crafted and the character designs and world are adorable at but it feels vaguely cynical how shallow every other aspect of dawngrowth is. the character writing is at best inoffensive but at times feels almost desperate and vaguely cloying. the whole story feels like it was adapted directly from a one page rough draft. the most important aspect of a cozy game like this is endearing a player to the world and characters and dawngrowth seems like it makes a token effort but utterly fails. the gameplay alternates between clearing a...

About This Game
Healer. Mystic. Hero.
In this refreshingly cute adventure about cleansing people's inner worlds of doubt and pain, you are Azure, the frog.

Journey from the village floating in the sky to the minds of the afflicted as you cleanse their rich inner worlds from the dark ooze that corrupts them.


Armed only with your trusty cleangun, it's your job to mend the mindscape of the villagers and defeat the vile creatures of the ooze infecting them. Once cleansed, use the hydration spell to breathe new life into the world. The environment will thank you!

Sure, you're only one frog, and the task before you must seem daunting, but don't be frightened. Just pick up your cleangun and start blasting!
The healing starts now!

If you are looking for a game with a beautiful structure in pixel art, good game play music, with an original concept, this game is for you. As well as, if you are one of those who want to support new developers and be part of their projects, I recommend it. Now if you are looking for something where you can immerse yourself and explore how to exploit the game's potential, I don't recommend it, as it is a game that looks really cute and short, but the game play feels unfortunately rather lacking in some cases. Overall, play the game and enjoy the short adventure of a Froggy who wants to clean the world from corruption!
Short and cute. Hugi's debut game on steam was a good one. great graphics, music, and gameplay loop that'll make you joyous. Great work to the entire team!
probably wouldnt recommend it to anyone, the art *is* cute and it's good for what it is but that's about it. (it'd be more of a middle between yes and no than a full no but theres not and option for that)
I actually liked playing this game, its so charming and chill, but its just way too short. Please add more content to Dawngrown. 6 dollars for less than 2 hours of gameplay?
It's short, it's sweet, and it's certainly less than 10 bucks. It definitely seems like a story that's meant to be told over a longer arc, but got rushed, which doesn't make the emotional parts hit as hard. It IS however a very cute game with charming pixel art and music ♥! I would love to see this game's ideas expanded on in a more coherent way (rather than throwing the player in with very little elaboration)!
A short story about a frog that can not only heal the environment. Pros: -unique mechanics -various weapons - Good pixel art and sound design -nice story twist Cons: -no overview of the controls (keyboard&mouse; controller) -not enough info about the characters
Really cute little game! The corruption gets quite intense!
Been having a lot of fun with this game. I love the little sound effects when cleaning the corruption. The music is delightful and it's kind of relaxing to clear the corruption and restore the land. This is a good game to play when you need a change of pace. Definitely belongs in the cozy games genre
I love this game. I have bought it for the Steam Deck and its very relaxing. What amazed me and i liked: - 16:10 support - healing nature using touchscreen However, what I did not liked its that it use a lot of power, at 100% i have 3 hours left. And before you say Deck is the issue, games like Stardew Valley can last 7 hours. Just wanted to say it. All in all its a great game.
