The Blood of Dawnwalker
Notas del episodio
In this episode of Pixelated Playgrounds, Bryan and Clint sink their teeth into The Blood of Dawnwalker! Developed by Rebel Wolves, the studio founded by Konrad Tomaszkiewicz, director of The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt and head of production on Cyberpunk 2077, the game is pitched as the first installment in an eponymous series and a dark fantasy “narrative sandbox” built around non-linear quests.
You play Coen, who is human by day and vampire by night, in the fictional mid-14th-century kingdom of Vale Sangora in the Carpathian Mountains. The Black Death is spreading, and the ancient vampire Brencis has seized control of the kingdom, demanding a “blood tax” from its people. After a failed attempt to turn Coen into a willing henchman leaves him a Dawnwalker, he has 30 days to rescue his family before Brencis’s coronation as Prince. Time only moves forward when you take on quests or plot-affecting actions, so every choice and sacrifice counts. Listen in as we talk through the game’s excellent writing and worldbuilding, compelling quests, and engaging combat. So grab your sword, watch the clock, and settle in!
