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.
