The Piper of Dawn Guide

The Piper of Dawn Wiki: Every Guide in One Place

The Piper of Dawn wiki on this site is the launch-day reference hub for Bone Nail's single-player alchemy-shop-farming time-loop RPG, released on Steam on September 22, 2026 under AppID 3804370. The wiki entry point links the identity, status, mechanics, and cast guide pages that cover launch facts, gameplay systems, and the named heroine cast. No third-party wiki exists yet, so this hub is the canonical reference until a community wiki emerges. ## Status and reference pages in this wiki hub This wiki hub groups the launch-day reference pages that cover identity, release, platform availability, system specs, language support, price, reviews, demo, and achievements. Each page is a separate URL with its own source base and fact boundary, and each one pulls its numbers from the Steam store page for AppID 3804370 rather than from secondary aggregators. The launch-day reference pages linked from this The Piper of Dawn wiki hub are: - [Overview](/about) — what The Piper of Dawn is, who made it, and how it differs from Pink Floyd's 1967 album "The Piper at the Gates of Dawn". - [Release status](/release) — confirms the September 22, 2026 launch date and the October 6, 2026 introductory discount end. - [Steam availability](/steam) — Steam AppID 3804370, single-player status, the demo reference, and the 91 Steam Achievements count. - [System requirements](/system-requirements) — minimum spec (Windows 10, i5 quad-core, GTX 750 Ti, 4 GB storage, 64-bit) and the recommended spec line from the Steam page. - [Platforms](/platforms) — confirms Windows-only on launch and lists Mac, Linux, Steam Deck, and console as not announced as of 2026-09-25. - [Languages](/languages) — English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, and Traditional Chinese with full audio + subtitles; other languages not announced. - [Price and editions](/price) — base price USD 12.99, intro 10% off at USD 11.69 until October 6, 2026, plus the Bone Nail Collection, Alchemist & Scavenger, and Yog-Sothoth's Yard bundles. - [Reviews and reception](/reviews) — Very Positive 88% of 97 reviews on Steam as of 2026-09-25 and aggregator write-ups from PlayPile and gamereed. - [Demo](/demo) — Steam Next Fest February 2026 demo entry that covered the prologue of Diamond City, early alchemy, and shopkeeping. - [Achievements](/achievements) — 91 Steam Achievements total, with per-achievement unlock data not announced as of 2026-09-25. ## Mechanics guides in this wiki hub The mechanics guides sit between the identity pages and the story pages. They explain how each pillar of the alchemy-shop-farming-time-loop game works in enough detail that a launch-day reader can decide which subsystem to read next. None of these pages replace the [Gameplay loop](/gameplay) overview, but each goes one level deeper on a single system. The mechanics guides in this The Piper of Dawn wiki hub are: - [Gameplay loop](/gameplay) — how the four pillars (alchemy, farming, shop, time loop) tie together for a new player and how each run differs from the last. - [Time loop mechanics](/time-loop) — Diamond City trapped in a time loop, the Save and Load gods as gameplay hook, and Oracle blessings that change the rules between loops. - [Alchemy system](/alchemy) — the Tree of Life, Equivalent Exchange rules, and alchemical circles that feed both the shop stock and the magical farm. - [Farming and crops](/farming) — 100+ magical crops with trait modifiers and underground biomes that expand the farm plot. - [Peoplesprouts](/peoplesprouts) — growable workforce built from body parts (fingers, eyeballs, brains) that you assign as Farmers, Retailers, or Manufacturers. ## Story and cast in this wiki hub The story and cast pages cover the named heroine roster, the six-faction reputation system, and the multiple-ending branching structure. They are written for readers who already know they want the lore side of the game and are not a substitute for the mechanics guides; the [Companions and heroines](/companions), [Factions](/factions), and [Endings](/endings) pages share reputation and choice data, so cross-links between them are intentional. The story and cast pages in this The Piper of Dawn wiki hub are: - [Companions and heroines](/companions) — the six central heroines (Elisabeth Liebig, Helena Wolfen, Gretel, Jimo Li, Hypnos, and Sissi / Nene / Aurora Ludwig) alongside 40+ named NPCs. - [Factions](/factions) — the six-faction reputation system (Commercial Street merchants, Silver Key Fae syndicate, Goddess worshipers, Witch's devotees, and two implied factions) and how reputation changes endings and shop traffic. - [Endings](/endings) — multiple endings driven by the time loop, by faction reputation, and by choices made across loops; the full endings list is not announced as of 2026-09-25. ## Why this The Piper of Dawn wiki exists on launch day No third-party wiki covers The Piper of Dawn as of 2026-09-25. SteamDB shows the AppID launched on September 22, 2026, the PlayPile and gamereed aggregator pages are summary-only, and a community wiki on Fandom or a similar platform has not opened a dedicated namespace. The official Steam Community hub for AppID 3804370 is active, but it is a forum, not a structured reference. This site fills that role on launch day. Every page linked from this wiki hub pulls its facts from the Steam store page for AppID 3804370, the SteamDB snapshot, the Bone Nail publisher profile, or named review aggregators, and writes each unannounced fact as a dated status statement rather than a fabricated number. When a community wiki emerges, this hub will continue to point at the same launch-day facts rather than replace them with copy that has not been verified against the Steam store page. Two practical notes for anyone using this hub as a reference. First, the wiki hub is not a strategy guide — per-achievement unlock data, advanced alchemy recipes, and full endings lists are not announced as of 2026-09-25 and are not published on the linked pages. Second, the hub is not a news desk — release-window or post-launch demo status is taken from the Steam store page only, and any future change to price, platforms, or achievements should be re-checked against the AppID 3804370 store page rather than against this hub.
