About This Game
In a world of darkness, you are the ruler of a kingdom lost to
shadows. On a quest to save your people, you have found the
mythical creature called “Lueur,” a fiery companion who will
light your way. But what kind of ruler will you be?
In Dawnfolk, you will explore an uncharted medieval fantasy
world, manage resources, build cities, and survive against many
dangers.
Minigames add a unique challenge to supporting your people. The
better you are at the minigames, the more resources you get and
the more likely your community will weather the darkness.
Every choice matters as you explore different strategies and
play styles in Dawnfolk.
Not everyone has time to invest hundreds of hours into learning
how to play a grand strategy game. You can dive right in and
start building your settlement immediately, going from a handful
of tents to a big city in less than an hour.
Dawnfolk was designed to feel familiar, yet unlike any building
strategy game you’ve ever played before. Unwind and play with
ease, whether you’re at home or on the go, with your gamepad,
keyboard, or handheld console. Go back to the roots of gaming,
where exploration and experimentation are the key to fun and
discovery.
Decades ago, titanic obsidian monoliths rained down from the
sky. A raging tempest of unfathomable darkness gathered around
them, slowly crawling across the world and consuming all in its
path. You are the ruler of this land, once mighty and resolute,
now broken and wounded. But not defeated! You intend to reclaim
the realm and bring back light to the world.
After years of wandering, your story begins as you finally find
the Lueur, a mythical creature able to radiate a powerful enough
brightness to dissipate darkness. It is time to explore the
shadows and rebuild your realm.
This darkly cute survival city-builder has been created with
much love by a very French developer named Darenn Keller.
After working in the game industry for a few years, Darenn set
off on an adventure into indie dev land. Originally called Lueur
and then Lueur and the Dim Settlers (as Darenn’s initial goal
was to make non-French-speakers sound like complete morons
attempting to say the name of the game), the idea for Dawnfolk
came about in the LOWREZJAM in 2022 as the challenge was to make
a game in one week with a resolution of 64x64 pixels.
Darenn has chosen all elements of creative direction and design.
He has mixed the music, molded the sprites, and shaped the game
to be reflective of his game design philosophy. But no game is
made in a vacuum - Dawnfolk wouldn’t be the amazing game it is
without the support of the playtesters and community. The game
continues to grow and evolve thanks to players like you so check
out the Discord for ways to provide feedback straight to Darenn!
Your choices determine the fate of your realm and its
inhabitants.
Will you turn a blind eye to impending disasters, or will you
face them head-on? How will you handle the tough moral choices
that define your legacy? Can you grow and optimize your cities
not just survive, but to thrive as a shining beacon for future
settlers?
Will you succeed in bringing light back to the world?
