Quick start path

A short route from first hours in Tick Town to a clean Platinum cleanup plan.

  1. 1

    Learn movement and Temporal Shift

    Read How to Play and Temporal Shift combat so late dodges freeze enemies instead of panic-rolling through every swing.

  2. 2

    Follow the campaign spine

    Use the story walkthrough to order Tick Town, Ezarus Forest, the Clockwork Academy, and later biomes without spoiling the Clock Tower ending.

  3. 3

    Beat Wrath, then later bosses

    Clear the opening test with the Wrath guide, then treat later fights as movement puzzles — see bosses for Father Gorth and Despair notes.

  4. 4

    Collect on a second pass

    Leave gated kittens, music boxes, cards, and Rainbow Ingots until Grapple and Pendulum are online. Track them in the collectibles guide.

  5. 5

    Plan Platinum cleanup

    Story Mode can 100% the list. Follow the trophies guide after credits, then compare launch reviews and price notes.

FAQ

Wiki FAQ

Quick answers from the full campaign, trophies, and remaining demo slice.

What is Duskfade?

Duskfade is a single-player 3D action-platformer from Weird Beluga and Fireshine Games. You play as Zirian with his mechanical companion Cuckoo, exploring a clockpunk world stuck in eternal night while trying to rescue his sister Allira.

When did Duskfade release?

August 13, 2026 on PC (Steam), PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2. Steam listed a limited 20% introductory discount through August 27 — see [launch day notes](/updates/launch-day/) and [launch times](/updates/launch-times/).

How long is Duskfade?

A typical campaign sits around 12–20 hours depending on difficulty and sightseeing. Weird Beluga quoted about 16–20 hours for a first playthrough. Platinum cleanup on Story Mode is often reported around 9–12 hours if you skip extra wandering — details in the [trophies guide](/guides/trophies/).

Is there still a demo?

Yes. The free demo remains on Steam, PlayStation 5, and Xbox. It does not carry progress into the full game. A Switch 2 demo has been reported for August 20 — confirm on the eShop. Start with the [demo download guide](/demo/download/).
