9th Dawn

About

9th Dawn is a classic-style role-playing game built around tile-based movement and turn-based combat. Set on the large island of Montelorne, you start in the village of Agaria and gradually uncover a world of medieval politics, ancient ruins, and cryptic lore. Character progression focuses on moral choices and skill development across multiple classes. The interface feels intentionally retro, with minimalistic graphics and a text-heavy approach to storytelling. The game’s greatest strength is its dense world design. Years in the making, it packs over 100 hours of exploration into its maps, quests, and side content. Player communities note a steep learning curve but praise the depth of systems like diplomacy and crafting. A sequel is already in development, suggesting the world has more to offer. Fans of deliberate, story-driven RPGs from the early 2000s might find this a nostalgic fit.

Storyline

Explore the large island continent of Montelorne, a land far detached from the mainland, but filled with mystery, danger, and last but not least, adventure. You begin your journey in the small village of Agaria, but once you gain your bearings, you'll find yourself immersed in a world of its own.
