About A Song Of Sunlight

Arem has lived his life surrounded by ocean waves and fields of dying grass. Upon his small island lies The Settlement, a community of just three thousand: the children of the sun. Passing the long years in prayer and simple work, the blessed people of the Island live and die by their traditions. Arem, like all young men and women of The Settlement, knows well the laws of his people: perform one's obligation for the greater good, and never enter The Well- a passage leading deep into the unknown earth below. Raised as a Woundbearer, Arem greatly desires to come of age and do his part in improving the lives of his community- none more so than Sachita, the burning girl, shunned by The Settlement but whom he loves dearly. Yet, when Arem is suddenly given the responsibilities he always dreamed of, he finds his certainty shattered by the truth of the horror held at The Settlement’s close reach. Now doubting the only life he's ever known, Arem embarks on a secret mission to save his people and unravel the true nature of his world.    Descending into the Well and desperately searching for answers, Arem comes to understand just how much he truly has to lose.

A Song of Sunlight features a novel pseudo-turn-based combat system that challenges players to fight for their lives against horrifying enemies. Make split-second calculated decisions, then attack, block, evade, and look for openings in real-time against multiple targets in thrilling combat encounters.
By day, carry out your duties to the Settlement and interact with its inhabitants to obtain resources and learn more about the world.By night, explore desolate megastructures filled with mystery and danger, discover weapons and equipment lost to humanity, and customize your build to suit many distinct play styles.
A tightly woven intersection of gameplay and narrative, players will interact with the game world and characters in depth.

Interesting worldbuilding to explore. Surprised at the length and quality considering it's free. Definitely looking forward to more.

This game is very very good in its desire to tell you a story about an interesting world as well as its desire to kill you DEAD. I recommend it but, weirdly enough, I have to make something clear that I didn't really feel was too obvious. This game is not finished. I know it's free and it's worth playing anyway but if you're like me and you enjoy playing a game that's finished, avoid it until it's done. I'm not really sure how to categorise my feelings here because an early access game that's free doesn't really check out but, yeah, something should make it clearer that it's not a complete story yet.

Got me to try conlanging again. I played the devs previous game, so I absolutely didn't expect an action-adventure game like this. Only issues I have is just on the input timing, but that's probably just a skill/not having a controller issue. 10/10.

I really love this game. The story is sooooo good and the characters are compelling. It's satisfying to master the combat system without it being particularly complex to learn, and the background music is solid. Like many people here have already said in far more words, it's insane that a game this good is free.
