Broken Harbours is a narrative-driven game that places players in a compact, character-focused side story exploring friendship, its limits, and the scars of the past. Players follow two solitary figures, Rune and Devon, through the fragile beginnings of their bond, experiencing the emotional turns that shape their relationship. As a standalone companion to Dawn Chorus, Broken Harbours offers a concentrated storytelling experience that appeals to players who enjoy atmospheric writing, intimate character work, and reflective pacing rather than sprawling action or lengthy campaigns.
