About this game
🕯️ YOIN: The Shadow of Dawn
You awaken without a voice. Without a body. Without time. Only one desire burns in your soul: to reclaim what was once your home.
In a world painted with ink and melancholy, you are a wandering spirit returning from the beyond to reclaim your village, now destroyed by invaders.
