About The Game
The sun rises on a new story in the Trails series! Jump into the land of Zemuria today!
The star of this new story is a 24-year-old man who runs a problem-solving business. He often takes on jobs that have him dealing with the grey area at the edge of legality. Depending on your actions, he may find himself working alongside the police, the mafia, or even some mysterious factions that are just as grey as him.
Trails through Daybreak seamlessly blends real-time action and turn-based combat to create a new pinnacle for the Trails series.
New players will find themselves drawn in to the intricately-built world and well-designed combat systems, while series veterans will be able to enjoy a refinement of everything they love about Trails.
