About this game

The gloom is closing in on the Heart-Tree. You are its keeper: hold the night back with light until dawn.

Dawnkeeper is a one-thumb game of light, for anyone who feels like playing. A night lasts one to three minutes, pauses instantly, plays offline, and works fine on mute.

FLICK, MERGE, FEED
• Flick: touch anywhere and flick. A light appears under your finger and goes into orbit around the heart, holding the gloom back.
• Merge: twin lights merge into the next one. Spark, Glimmer, Wisp, Lumen, Bloom, Radiance, and at last the Great Light.
• Feed: gold lights are ripe. Tap one to feed the heart and push the gloom away, or keep it in orbit as a shield. Your call, every time.

Your reserve holds three lights and refills slowly, so every flick counts. Gloom tides surge from one side. The darkest hour comes from everywhere just before dawn.

HEAL THE FOREST
At dawn, the light you kept flows into the forest. Each step lights a new grove, tells one line of its story, and brings a new power: the heart's pulse, the lance, the kindred shot, wild lights, shooting stars, dawn seeds… Ten in all, until the forest is whole.

THEN THE WILLOW LAKE
Behind the hill, the Willow Lake waits in the gloom. Shade moths come for your young lights, brambles grow toward the tree, a maw pulls lights in, and at the darkest hour the shadow spirit comes. New skies too: storm, frost, eclipse, mirror. Heal the lake, and the deep nights begin.

Every night has its sky (windy, new moon, twin night, heavy heart…), a wish to grant, and three stars to earn: dawn, the wish, and untouched. Keep your dawns in a row and beat your best on every sky.

What’s new

A step-by-step first night: a hand shows the gesture along the circle, then how to put a light in orbit, merge two identical lights and keep the gloom away. From the pause, you can also go back home. In the deep nights, your light now lights constellations above the valley.
