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 trauma, cycles of abuse and friendship in recovery.


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
Carys is a priestess from the Temple of Two Dragons. The temple holds the original faith of the people of Draibryn, barely tolerated by the ruling One Church. She was originally a citizen of Llanllwch, where her father joined the Draibryn rebellion, but was ultimately killed. Her mother, a servant, found it incredibly hard to feed the family in the aftermath, and ended up dying in the pestilence that scourged the land. Carys was then adopted by the temple, and though she was never the most adept Incanter, it gave her a place to leave her past behind her.

Bleddyn
Bleddyn is a Gwyllgi, a wolf-man race. The Gwyllgi were enslaved by the Ampyrians, who used their fierce and powerful builds to carry out assassinations and wreak terror upon those who rebelled. Even today, the Gwyllgi are feared, and utilised by the current nobility for similar reasons. Bleddyn’s father was Gelert, a Gwyllgi personal guard for a noble family. However, an incident caused Bleddyn to leave the castle alone, though he isn't keen to talk about the past.

Idwal Thornfield
Idwal is the firstborn and only son of the Thornfield family. As a child, he was loud, playful, and intently curious about the world. Though now, he hides behind his long hair, his manner quiet and meek. One could mistake him for a beautiful maiden. Though full of doubt and always downplaying his own abilities, he is a skilled student of magic.
