Minimalist survival city-builder Dawnfolk coming to Switch
Darenn Keller will be bringing the upcoming title Dawnfolk to Switch, the developer has announced. The project is currently targeting an early 2025 launch.
Dawnfolk is a minimalist survival city-builder. Players will gather resources and rebuild their realm one tile at a time while protecting settlers from oppressive shadows.
Further information can be found in the following overview:
Dawnfolk is a minimalist and relaxing survival builder perfect for short gaming sessions. Rebuild and manage your realm, collect resources and decide the fate of your people. Explore the darkness and unveil the secrets of the black monoliths to bring back light to the world.
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 will reclaim the realm and bring back light to the world. After years of wander, you finally found the Lueur, a mystical creature able to radiate a powerful enough brightness to dissipate darkness. It is time to explore the shadows and rebuild your realm.
Dawnfolk feels familiar, yet unlike any building strategy games you’ve played before. Unwind and play with ease, whether at home or on the go, with your gamepad, keyboard or handheld console. Dawnfolk won’t hold your hand through endless tutorials or convoluted menus – you can dive right in and start building. Go back to the roots of gaming, where exploration and experimentation were the key to fun and discovery.
Build to survive, thrive, or relax – the choice is yours. Experience the game on both macro and micro levels, as you oversee the management of your structures and resources, while also immersing yourself in mini arcade games to collect resources. Explore the world and story as you reshape it – your choices will determine the fate of your realm and its inhabitants.
