Discounts
Every price cut of more than 20% we have observed, in each market that quoted one, with this game's chart position on either side of it. These are episodes, not a model: a sale is one event, and one event cannot tell you what the next one will do.
Reviews, worldwide (the counter carries no country): 0.14/day in the week to Jul 30 → 0.29/day in the week after.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,400 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.
About
Dawnmaker is a solo strategy game combining elements of city building and deck building to create a board game-like experience. In a world covered by a toxic Smog, only you can rekindle the ancient lighthouses and bring light and life back. Construct buildings, gain new cards, generate resources and improve your central lighthouse to unlock new building space.

Optimize your deck — Gain increasingly powerful cards as you improve your city. Your cards and buildings interact in various ways: choose them wisely to create the most powerful combinations!
Build efficient cities — Make the best of your limited space by optimally positioning your buildings. Improve your lighthouse to repel the Smog and expand your city.
Manage your resources — Grow farms, build industries, develop science and inspire your people to create the rarest of resources: Eclairium!

Reclaim the lost continent — The continent of Heksiga has been covered by a toxic Smog. Repair and improve magical lighthouses to repel that Smog and reclaim the land, region by region.
Recover lost technologies — Explore vestiges of the old Empire and rediscover technologies that were lost to the Smog.

Simplistic and repetitive. Should have been a board game.
There is no music in game :(
Nice little game, enjoyed playing it. in the beginnig you need some time to learn the mechanics but after that it is a fun time killer. Only downside is that its on the shorter side. Maybe there will be some Dlc or update in the future with new islands. i recommend this one

Even if the game is great, at this state, i really want a good sound design and music. right now there is just a poor sound design and no music at all.
Great game, just hope there will be more updates soon
Très bon jeu qui a eu beaucoup d'améliorations depuis sa sortie !
Считаю эту игру шедевром по проработанности игровых механик. Большое количество зданий и игровых карт, и гигантское количество комбинаций между ними (бонусы за разрушение зданий, за возведение, за активацию, за активацию соседа, просто за соседство и это ещё очень маленькая часть). На каждом уровне нужно развивать маяк и на каждом этапе развития можно проиграть из-за неэффективной стратегии, или из-за стратегии акцентированной только на развитие к концу игры, поэтому играть интересно на каждом этапе.
Relaxing
Turn based strategy game and deck building. Takes a minute to get the hang of, but it's exactly what I need when it comes to a chill strategy game. The demo was sick!
Unfortunately, there are severe performance issues on macOS.
