About the Game

Step into the decaying world of Kagenovia in Dawnrazor, a story-driven 8-bit action adventure! Take control of Zedekiah, a betrayed knight reborn through parasitic vampirism, as he fights through blood-soaked ruins and biomechanical horrors.

AUTHENTIC 8-BIT EXPERIENCE

Born from real Game Boy Color hardware limits, Dawnrazor uses era-accurate graphics, music, and design rules to create a retro experience that feels like it came straight from the late nineties. Explore ruins, swamps, wastelands and other post-apocalyptic environments, battle biomechanical beasts and ghoulish entities, and uncover hidden paths as you push deeper into Kagenovia.

JUDGMENT SYSTEM

Throughout your journey, you’ll face choices that test your resolve and your humanity. These decisions shape how characters see you, alter the dialogue you read, and influence Zedekiah’s fate.

Key Decisions include:

• Whether to spare or kill your old comrades

• Feeding on the blood of villagers and corpses

• How often you rely on vampiric abilities like Blood Surge

Your decisions will affect:

• Dialogue and reactions from NPCs

• The state of certain areas

• The tone of Zedekiah’s internal monologue

• Branching paths and different endings

THE IRONHOLD

The Ironhold is a forgotten warbase buried beneath the ruins of Kagenovia. It serves as Zedekiah’s sanctuary, a place of rest, recovery, and memory.

• Use the terminal to save your progress and examine Data Discs gathered from across Kagenovia, each holding pieces of forgotten lore.
