Alabaster Dawn's Combat Inspired by DMC and KH

Alabaster Dawn is set in Tiran Sol, a world in ruin and devastated by the goddess Nyx, which has turned the world into a wasteland and caused the other gods and people to vanish. You play as Juno, the Outcast Chosen, to awaken the remnants of humanity and lift Nyx's curse from the world.

The game is expected to pack in around 30-60 hours of gameplay, featuring seven regions to explore. Players will focus on rebuilding settlements, establishing trade routes, and more, all while engaging in fast-paced combat inspired by games like Devil May Cry, Kingdom Hearts, and the studio's own CrossCode. Choose from eight unique weapons, each boasting its own skill tree. Other gameplay features include parkour, puzzles, enchantments, and cooking.

The studio proudly shared to fans that the game has reached a significant milestone, with the first 1-2 hours of gameplay being nearly fully playable at its current development phase. "It may not sound like much, but getting to that point is a big milestone for us," the developers shared.
