About the Game

Before the Sun Rises is a 3D exploration and platform game about connection with nature and others. You play as a water drop, born from the misty dew of dawn. Can you restore the forest of your birth before the sun rises?

In single player, explore the landscape to find and collect the water that you need to bloom trees and move onto the next area. In multiplayer, connect with friends or strangers online, help each other find water sources, and work together to restore the forest!

NOTE: The current version of Before the Sun Rises is a demo and work in progress. While multiplayer is available, it is still being tested and is currently in beta.
