What is Duskfade?
Duskfade is a single-player action-platformer developed by Weird Beluga and published by Fireshine Games. You play as Zirian, a young hero accompanied by his mechanical bird Cuckoo, on a desperate quest to save his sister from the clutches of Despair itself. To do so, he must restore the fabric of time and uncover the buried secrets of the Master Clockmakers — mysterious artisans whose influence has shaped every corner of the world. Explore a vast central hub that opens into five major regions — ethereal forests, underwater realms, sunlit dunes, cloudy heights and more — each guarded by a powerful boss. Master fluid platforming: jump, dash, grapple, and glide through handcrafted environments while chaining fast, kinetic combat with a unique sword shaped like a clock hand.
