Key details

His family is held by Brencis, the vampire lord ruling Vale Sangora, and Coen has 30 days and 30 nights to save them.How he uses that time is up to the player. Coen can pursue his family, seek revenge against the vampire who sired him, uncover the valley’s secrets, or build alliances with people whose loyalties may be difficult to read. Rebel Wolves describes the game as a narrative sandbox, with actions and inaction shaping the story, its characters, and its ending.There is no simple black-and-white morality system keeping score. The choices are intended to sit in shades of grey, leaving players to decide what Coen is willing to do and how much of his humanity is worth trading for the people he loves.The Blood of Dawnwalker GameplayThe Blood of Dawnwalker is a single-player, open-world action RPG built in Unreal Engine 5.

At the heart of the game is Coen’s dual nature. He is human by day and a vampire by night, with different skills, routes, and dangers in each form.Human By Day, Vampire By NightDuring the day, Coen fights with a sword and magic. He casts spells through runes carved into his body. These powers can be used in combat, defence, and investigation. Burning Blood, for example, damages an enemy over time. Feral Mind can make a target attack those around them.At night, Coen gains vampiric powers. He can fight with his claws, use heightened senses, and move through the world in new ways.

Abilities such as Shadowstep, Clawride, and Planeshift let him cross rooftops and reach places that are closed to his human form.Those powers come at a price. Coen must manage his Blood Hunger after dark by feeding on humans, animals, or other creatures. Ignore it for too long and he may lose control and attack an NPC. That is one way to make a quiet evening considerably more complicated.Time Is A ResourceCoen has 30 days and 30 nights to save his family, but there is no real-time countdown.
