Summer Before Dawn
About this game
Summer Before Dawn is a narrative exploration game about a single summer spent by a quiet lake with 17 islands, each holding its own story.
Set in Eastern Europe in the late 1980s, the world feels calm—yet something is shifting. History lingers in the background, waiting.
Explore the shoreline, row between islands, and move freely through forests and water.
Each island holds something different—objects, memories, traces of the past. Some secrets are found. Others are felt.
Beyond the lake, the world shifts.
Summer Before Dawn is a small, open-world, action-driven narrative game where you play as Robert, spending a summer by a lake with 17 mysterious islands and witnessing the changing world of Eastern Europe on the eve of the Iron Curtain’s fall. Step into a summer break adventure!
