Alabaster Dawn is an Action RPG that builds on the best aspects of Radical Fish Games’ previous title, CrossCode. It features a deep combat system, challenging puzzles, and a mysterious world teeming with secrets, all bundled up in an engaging story. The shadow of Nyx has fallen—warping the world into a wasteland and vanishing the gods and their people. Now, Juno the Outcast Chosen, awakes to an impossible task: bring it all back.

Oh finally, I was wondering what the CrossCode devs were working on. This looks great, but I hope they'll tone down the puzzles in this one.

They already said there will be less focus on long puzzle dungeons iirc. Although I absolutely loved doing all the puzzles in CrossCode!

Yeah I really liked puzzles and only found the timing puzzles annoying on a controller though with mouse and keyboard it was much easier.

I found the puzzles refreshing in CrossCode. It was nice having a game that actually had the guts of challenging your wits, instead of spoiling all your fun with the characters telling the solution before you even manage to look at the damn puzzle. They were my favourite aspect of the game for sure.

A bit sad they decided to tone down on that aspect, but hopefully they'll strike a balance that makes both of us happy.

I love the movement a lot in the last game and it's so great to see more of the same focus! I hope it's just not a reskin though
