What is The Blood of Dawnwalker?

Set in 14th-century Europe during war and the Black Death, this third-person open-world action RPG follows Coen, a Dawnwalker trying to save his family. You explore a valley, take quests, and fight with swords, magic, and vampire powers as your form changes between day and night. Quests advance limited time, and choices alter the story.

+you want a story-focused dark fantasy vampire RPG
+you value consequential choices and time-limited quest planning
+you enjoy mixing swordplay, magic, and supernatural powers

Not for you if...

−you expect free exploration without advancing an in-game clock
−you want to complete every quest in one playthrough
