What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“Duskborn has been developed over the course of 1,5 years as a university project at Stuttgart Media University. The game currently does not meet our expectations for a full release, which is why it will (for now) stay in Early Access.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“At the moment the future of Duskborn remains uncertain, as we are only able to work on it as a side project in our spare time.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We plan to add more enemies and bosses, more individual weapons, more levels and intergration of the storyline.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The game at the moment is a vertical slice, that shows our vision and the core gameplay loop of the game. In a full release there would be more levels, enemies, items and abilities, which would offer a large degree of replayability and build variety.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“This game will always be free.”

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“If the development will continue, we will reach out more to the community and involve them into the decisionmaking. For now, leaving a review with constructive feedback is greatly appreciated.”

About This Game

Duskborn has started as a university project at Stuttgart Media University in Germany. It has been developed by an interdisciplinary team of students over the course of two semesters (about 8 months) and further polished by a small team afterward. We hope you enjoy our final results!

It's the year 2114. Humanity is on the brink of extinction. An unknown organism spreads across the earth and annihilates the whole ecosystem. The cause of this catastrophe lies deep in the Abyss, a giant crater in which an abandoned city has been built.

As an Abyss-Diver, your mission is to discover the secrets of the Abyss and search for a way to prevent humanity's extinction.

Explore, collect items, and fight against enemies and bosses.

Race against time

You're not welcome in the Abyss. The unknown organism will do everything to protect itself. The longer you stay, more enemies will appear and they're stronger than before. So do not linger too long, or you will be overwhelmed. Good luck!

Level up

Throughout the world, you may find items, which can be combined into powerful upgrades for your character. There are nearly limitless combinations, so every run is a unique experience. Also, with every level up, you can upgrade the stats of your character.

Enemies

Face different types of enemies, each with an unique set of movement and attacks. Equipped with cutting-edge technology, these enemies are trained to eliminate you as quickly as possible. So watch out for swarms of drones or the deadly sound of the big laser.

Boss fight

Guarding the end of each stage lies a powerful enemy that must be defeated to progress further. These elite units are powerful and deadly, so make sure you perpare yourself before you face them!
