About HAWKER:

You have just thirty days to settle an impossible debt. Pay, or Fall.

In the dust and bones of ruined Ysward, you must scavenge, barter and fight for ichor, life, and truth.

Hunted. Haunted. Awaken strange powers that could lead to the rebirth of Ysward, or a fate worse than undeath.

The shadows fuel your most powerful abilities—but beware, the night belongs to the Fallen. Can you upgrade far enough in time to seize it from them?

Travel with your caravan between outposts scattered across the sprawling biomes. Trade your loot strategically with locals’ shifting demands and desires. Fill special orders for greater profit.

Discover the murky history of Ysward and its eccentric survivors; preserve the future, or preserve yourself.

You will die. You will lose loot, perks, and your most precious resource—time.

Your meta progression and currency will persist. Get up, buy some boons, and try again.
