Dawn Apart

Industrial Technology and Witchcraft is a small development studio from Germany. Since its establishment in 2021, the team has been working simultaneously on two projects. The first one was the arcade title Combat Cobras, while the second one is the strategy game described here, titled Dawn Apart.

Gameplay

In Dawn Apart we watch events in an isometric view.

Two versions of the colony

The game takes us to the planet Sirius B 3, where our task is to establish an extraterrestrial colony and factory. The direction that our managed facility will take largely depends on us. We can blindly follow the guidelines of the corporation standing above us, exploiting the residents to the core, or on the contrary - incite a rebellion against our contractors and try to gain independence.

Managing an industrial facility

Either way, all matters related to the functioning of the cosmic bastion of humanity rest on our shoulders. We are engaged in gathering resources, constructing buildings (especially factories), and above all - creating complex production lines, pipelines and conveyor belts. The game allows us to expand the colony both horizontally and vertically, so our assembly lines can extend over many floors.

Difficult choices and defending against enemies

Humanitarian issues also come into play here. During the game, we have to take care of the settlers' needs, providing them with food, shelter, and medicine, as well as making difficult decisions, often choosing between the good of the individual and the interest of the whole.
