As Chasing the Dawn progresses, you will gradually unlock five expedition members, each with unique abilities.

Stay tuned! A stage takes place on a 4×4 grid filled with tiles that can contain enemies, treasure, or traps. How movement across the grid works depends on the available movement cards. These allow movement within an entire row, a column, or a 2×2 area.

The movement cards available depend on the character chosen, so the examples above are only available to the first character. What makes Chasing the Dawn stand out is that while the area of movement is always known because the row, column, or 2×2 section is chosen directly, the exact tile landed on is completely random. Sometimes luck is on your side and treasure is found, while other times an unlucky landing leads to unwanted consequences. Some movement cards have a cooldown, so the same one can’t be used twice in a row. The odds of landing on a specific tile also change over time. Whenever a tile is landed on, it becomes inactive and can’t be selected again.

For example, if two tiles in a row have already been landed on, only two remain active, giving each of them a 50% chance of being chosen. Tiles can contain chests with gems, food that restores health, traps that deal damage, or enemies. What happens when landing on an enemy depends on the character’s strength compared to theirs. Both the player character and enemies have sword and staff values. If the matching stat is equal to or higher than the enemy’s, the enemy is defeated without taking damage. If the enemy is stronger, damage is taken, and the exact amount is clearly shown beforehand.
