About this game
They were taught to fear the night. It was the light that burned them.
A clan that worshipped the day. A goddess who no longer answers. And one hunter who lost everything in a single, blinding noon.
Kairos, the last twilight hunter of the Heliowolf clan, sets out alone for the Temple of Dawn — to seek the truth of a silence that took his home, his people, and the one he never found the words for. The road is long, and he does not walk it as he once did.
Until the Dawn Breaks is a story-rich, mid-length visual novel (~5–7 hours) about faith that forgot its reason, grief that must become action, and the quiet things we never say in time.
The illustrations, CG, music, and video in this title were created using generative AI tools, and the English, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese localization was produced with the assistance of a large language model; the writing, direction, editing, curation, and review were done by the author.

Features
- A single, focused narrative told through Kairos's first-person recollection — dreams of a warm past interleaved with a colder present.
- Three branching finales. Your accumulated choices decide how Kairos answers the question the whole journey has been asking.
- Metaphor over exposition. A flower that only blooms after dark, a pair of dawn-bells, only one of which still weeps as the two drift apart — the truth reaches you before the words do.
- An original score that underscores the story's quiet grief.
- A complete, self-contained tragedy with a thread of hope — no cliffhanger, no season pass.
