A dark fantasy action game

Knight Before Dawn

You are summoned to a village that should not exist. Beyond its portals, the darkness changes everything — including you.

Cross the portals. Become a knight. Return before the night claims you.

In development for Steam — PC

The village is only the beginning

Daylight feels safe.
Night is another world.

Explore a strange village that acts as your refuge between battles. Step through its portals and you are transformed into a powerful knight, thrown into places swallowed by darkness and filled with creatures that should never have found their way home.

Fight, grow stronger, discover what is hidden behind the portals and make it back before the night takes everything.

Endless

No finish line. Keep fighting, keep scaling and see how long your knight can hold back the darkness once the rules stop being kind.

Last as long as you can
Light is part of the fight

The darkness hides more than the map.

Your light cuts a small safe shape through the night. Enemies can move beyond it, attacks can emerge from it, and every step into unexplored darkness carries risk.

  • Enemies and attacks that can emerge from darkness
  • Keyboard & mouse plus Xbox and PlayStation-style controller support
