The city sleeps. Scavenge it before it wakes.
Leave your shelter after dark, search abandoned buildings and rooftops, and bring something home before sunrise. Bank salvage, improve your equipment, and decide how much farther you can afford to go. Beyond Dawn is a single-player exploration game set in the world of Liminal Protocol, with a city above you and an increasingly unfamiliar network of caverns below.
Look beneath the surface
The world is rendered in three-dimensional ASCII, with real lighting, depth and movement. Your Lattice implant lets you tune that view: shallow levels reveal navigation, while deeper levels expose disturbances and hidden records. Decode what you find, pin a route, and keep recovered clues in your archive.Make it home before dawn
Climb through the city, cross rooftops with a winch or Vector Jets, avoid patrols, and search for salvage. Extract to keep what you have found, or push into another district. Back underground, use the Foundry to upgrade your equipment and choose your movement rig. Practice rooms let you learn the controls without risking your supplies.A place to return
Your lair is a workshop and a home. Arrange its living space, expand into the caves, and prepare for your next departure. A lower hatch leads to four connected depths, through service galleries and freight fissures to an entrance beneath Liminal Corp. Return alive with evidence and specimens to open further investigations.Work across the timeline
The Observation Station connects the city, the Research Lab and Wasteland. In the lab, work with physical instruments: restore a receiver circuit, study a mineral core, and reconstruct a signal through fragments of glass.Wasteland explores a possible future of the same world. Follow a survivor's radio requests, recover supplies and face threats in the ruined streets and lower facility. Repair equipment in an earlier era, then select an altered future to see its consequences: an emergency locker, a drained storeroom, or a working underground return lift.
In active development
The current game includes repeatable city expeditions, shelter upgrades and decorating, connected cavern missions, Wasteland missions, laboratory activities, and an archive of the story you have recovered. These systems and their pacing are still being developed. The complete story is not finished.Beyond Dawn is a standalone game in the Liminal Protocol setting. The separate Liminal Protocol campaign is not included.
