Empyreal Dawn is a Gothic Fantasy Adventure where you lead a party named Caeruleum. Accompanied by the Swordsmaiden Alice Starwell, undertake your first steps toward becoming legendary heroes! Featuring full voice acting, an original soundtrack, and more!



In the war-torn land of Edyssa, two opposing kingdoms—Bastion and Crescent—devastate the continent with their conflict. With the kingdoms' armies diverted toward the war, a new class of heroes, Adventurers, arise to protect the populace from monsters and crime. You are Albert Cross, Bladeseer of the neutral party Caeruleum. Accompanying you is Alice Starwell, a prodigious Swordsmaiden. As Caeruleum's leader, raise your party to dizzying heights and etch your name into the annals of Edyssian history! We use our Early Access funds to add more content, so please pre-order if you're interested!

Stories should be experienced, not told! Hand-drawn illustrations, an original soundtrack, native voice acting—all come together in a classic visual novel format chronicling our heroes' journey. Forget about text sounds, grunts or awkward silence: Everyone is fully voiced, from the main characters to even minor NPCs!
As Caeruleum's leader, you decide which quests to accept and whom to forge bonds with. Align yourself with a kingdom to gain powerful allies and access to their formidable armaments. Will you employ Crescent's magical contraptions or Bastion's technological marvels? Alternatively, you could try carving your own path forward, in an attempt to unlock your latent powers… Each route in Empyreal Dawn features unique experiences and endings, ensuring every playthrough is rewarding. Be warned: not all fantasies end like fairytales! One character's salvation may be another's downfall.

Scored by Japanese composer "ruha," Empyreal Dawn features original songs that invoke the wonders of exploring a fantasy JRPG world. Rejoice in humanity's majesty with Crescent's regal strings, or partake in brooding contemplation with Bastion's haunting percussion! Or, drift into a pleasant, afternoon reverie with Alice's gentle woodwinds.
No content changes and no region locks: receive the uncut game in both languages! Moreover, we are testing additional language support, starting with Chinese (Simplified) in Chapter 1.
Words depict a character's thoughts, but voices are expressions of their soul. Reading about a tsundere is great, but listening to one is sublime! Our voice lines are recorded by native Japanese speakers: Sit back and enjoy a comfortable, authentic listening experience!
