Radical Fish Games, the creative minds behind the beloved Cross Code, are stirring excitement in the gaming community with the announcement of a public PC demo for their upcoming project, Alabaster Dawn, set to debut in September 2025. This action RPG draws inspiration from iconic titles such as Kingdom Hearts and Devil May Cry, promising an engaging experience for players across various consoles and PC via Steam.
Exploring the World of Tiran Sol
In Alabaster Dawn, players will step into the shoes of Juno, the Outcast Chosen, navigating a desolate world where gods and humanity have mysteriously vanished. Juno’s mission is clear: restore the world by vanquishing the ominous Nyx. With an estimated playtime of 30 to 60 hours, the game will feature seven distinct areas, each offering unique challenges and opportunities.
Players can look forward to rebuilding settlements, establishing trade routes, and advancing scientific knowledge within the game. As players enhance their settlements, they will witness visual transformations and unlock new pathways, adding depth to the gameplay experience.
Dynamic Combat and Exploration
The combat system in Alabaster Dawn promises to be both strategic and exhilarating. Players will wield control over four elemental forces and choose from eight unique weapons, with the flexibility to slot two weapons into each element at any given time. Each weapon boasts its own skill tree, allowing players to unlock Combat Arts that enhance their combat prowess. Additionally, players can equip Divine Arts to unleash formidable spells, adding another layer of strategy to battles.
Exploration will be a key component of the game, with players solving intricate puzzles that require collaboration among team members and the clever use of weapons. The world of Tiran Sol is rich with hidden paths, treasures, and resources waiting to be discovered. Players can expect a variety of rewards, including new cooking recipes, gem slots for equipment, and essential upgrade materials.
Crafting and Upgrading
The map system will facilitate seamless navigation, allowing players to place reminders, fast-travel between landmarks, and mark objectives for efficient exploration. Gems can be slotted into weapons and cores, activating enhancements that provide stat boosts and situational buffs. Players can expand their gem slots through the skill tree and craft or upgrade gems with the help of Artificer NPCs.
Moreover, healing options will be enhanced through cooking, as players prepare dishes to increase their stock of healing bulbs and unlock temporary boosts. By cooking a variety of dishes, players will elevate their Palate Level, amplifying the effects of their culinary creations.
