Dawnward

Raise a home from bare ground, lead your heroes into the dark, and bring back the dawn.

In development · Windows first

The game

A dark evil has swallowed the land. Your band of heroes builds a settlement from an empty clearing, travels out across a ruined map, and clears the dungeons where the darkness has taken root. Every victory brings people, trade, and light back home, until the heroes are strong enough to face the source of the darkness.

Turn-based tactics on a grid, using fifth edition rules from the SRD 5.2.1, with visible dice and clear odds.
A settlement that grows with every dungeon you clear.
Short sessions: one trip out and back fits in 30 to 60 minutes.
Built for PC and phones: Windows first, then iOS and Android.
