Game Info

Developed and published by Ai Xia, Before the Sun Rises invites players into a vibrant, yet fragile, forest ecosystem. As a water drop, your primary objective is to gather essential water resources scattered throughout the environment. These collected droplets are then used to nurture and grow trees, progressively restoring the forest and unlocking new areas. The game's core loop involves careful exploration and light platforming to reach these vital water sources. The multiplayer component allows players to team up with friends or other online participants, fostering a sense of community and shared accomplishment as they work together to achieve the common goal of forest restoration. The developers note that the current version is a demo and actively under development, with multiplayer features still in beta.
