A village to arrive in.
People to get to know.

Fresh bread at the bakery. The ancient oak on the village square. A path beside the stream. And somewhere, someone waiting for you to stop and listen.

Meet Lumori

A little light.
An open ear.

Kind, curious and at home in Morgenhain, Lumori meets his world with open eyes. Benny and Hunter, his two dogs, are part of that home.

An unusual scent, a neighbour's question or a small discovery may begin your next story.

How the game looks today

Morgenhain grows.
And remains a place to linger.

Current captures from the Windows development build show the full crown of the ancient oak, the half-timbered houses and the path beside the stream. These are not concept illustrations, and no game objects were added afterwards.
