Thank you for playing Toward Dawn! It has been an incredible week, and I am so grateful for everyone taking their time to play the game and share their feedback. My main aim with this game was to explore and share a culture and mythology I love, as well as pay homage to games of my childhood, and seeing the response has been truly lovely.

Patch Notes:

  • Steam Cloud Saving implementation. You can back up your saves from the following locations: Windows: %USERPROFILE%/AppData/Roaming/Godot/app_userdata/Toward Dawn/ Linux: ~/Library/Application Support/Godot/app_userdata/Toward Dawn/

  • New Game + After completing the game, there will be a new option in the main menu. You can load a previous save to then start the game again, keeping all your equipment, items and levels.

  • Fixed some typos (opening crawl, card game tutorial, unlocalised string in Load Game).

  • The autosave file now shows "Auto Save" instead of the chapter name watermark (trying to make it clearer what this save file is to people!).

  • Fixed bug where Idwal's tutorial could popup if you re-enter the Bentref Trail map.

  • When loading a save, the game will now check and reward any Steam achievements.

  • Fixed collision for the forest manor outside.

  • Fixed bug where Bleed Rupture did not remove the bleed stacks afterwards.
