Hi everyone! I've just released the free demo of Dawnfall: The Descent of Shadow, a top-down action-adventure in the spirit of the classic 2D Zeldas: explore, solve puzzles, find secrets and face bosses you have to figure out yourself, because nobody explains them to you.
You are a young squire of the Royal Guard of Alborada. On the night of the red comet, the Royal Augur betrays the crown, kills your mentor and bewitches the King before your eyes. Wounded, with the King's medallion clutched in your fist, you flee into the forest...
What's in the demo
- The Prologue and the full Chapter 1: a village to help, a hedge maze, hidden caves and two bosses.
- Sword, jump, bow and bombs, plus the powers of the talisman fragments.
- Puzzles with pressure plates, logs, braziers and jumps over gaps.
- Secrets everywhere: four heart pieces per level, buried treasure, cracked walls.
- Chispa, a fox cub you rescue, who follows you and digs up treasure.
It runs on Windows and right in the browser, in English and Spanish.

The full game is still in development, so feedback really can change what comes next. Which boss gave you more trouble, the Gardener or the Abyss Gargoyle? Where did you get stuck? Even one line helps. Thanks for reading!
