Sunwards

Sunwards is an action role-playing game set in the fragmented dreams of Black Crow, formed during a struggle with depression. You explore a gloomy, dangerous spiritual world, overcome obstacles and destroy the nightmares within the dream before facing Black Crow’s heart. Death in a dream is not the greatest danger; the game describes the cycle of despair as the real threat.

Dreams and reality

As Black Crow’s spirit nears collapse, it becomes difficult to tell dreams from reality. The dreams may seem better and more real than waking life, or become hellish scenes that confine and protect the heart. The journey is both fantastic and sad, shaped by the idea that everyone has a devil in their heart.

Combat and skills

You control a protagonist who can dodge and counterattack through a flexible action system. Exploring dreams grants skills, which you can combine to expand your fighting options and find more effective ways to fight.

Boss battles

The game features 10 bosses, each with a distinct identity and background as well as a unique fighting style. You use your abilities to find an effective way to defeat each one, then face the heart of the Black Crow and try to save him from its gloom.
