Dawnfall

Dawnfall is a 232,000-word interactive romance novel by RoAnna Sylver. You play as a Navigator, someone who creates and guards portals between dimensions, while navigating a romance and a conflict that threatens multiple worlds. The story is entirely text-based, with no graphics or sound effects, and your choices determine how it unfolds.

Two worlds in danger

Your universe contains Zephyria, a world infused with magic, and Eclipse, a dystopian space station. They remain in balance until an explosive disaster, a deadly energy storm and the arrival of the infamous pirate Ghost Queen overturn your life. You are drawn into a race to save both worlds, then discover that a third dimension is also at stake. One world is built on magic, one on technology and the third on something unknown; saving two may mean sacrificing one.

Your crew and choices

You can pursue love with the crew of the Dawnfall or try to bring the pirates to justice. You can also join the Ghost Queen’s rebellious quest or face off against her. Your choices shape whether connections between universes, people and lives are forged and protected or severed for the greater good.

You can play as male, female, nonbinary or agender, and as gay, straight, bisexual, asexual or aromantic. Choose a monogamous or polyamorous relationship, with the option to romance up to five crewmates at once. Your character can be a star-covered space elf or a feathered, magical bird-person.
