Not feeling this timed bullshyt, I generally like to take my time with games like this. I guess the story is based in a confined locale.

First of all, romance confirmed! They will share more information about the romance options closer to the release date.

Also they explained how time works in the game. This is what they said:

The game itself doesn't have a hard time limit and it doesn't require you to rush anything, it's not in real time.

Coen, however, will have a limited time of 30 days and 30 nights (in-game) to complete his main goal - to save his family. Every quest you finish will move the time forward because the world doesn't wait for Coen, some things are happening whether he wants it or not. But exploring the world, won't. Coen's actions and inactions will have consequences, and how/when/if you do something will affect the story, the world, and the people living in it.

It's also worth noting that there won't be a game over after 30 days and 30 nights, but let's not get ahead of ourselves yet. ;)

Ok especially the bottom part now if it plays how it reads that will be dope. So essentially the game could potentially go on even if you fail to save your family. I hope that’s the only part of the game that’s timed.

Says the game is very choice based so your family dying could potentially be part of the game

Over 2 years in development. I'm hoping it's a 2025 release or early 2026.

They be showing shyt too early.

I figure there’s gonna be a gameplay reveal at SGF, that looks very “vertical slice-y” and they will go quiet for 2026.

two years of dev just isn’t that long of time for AAA, even the more efficient studios, much less a brand new one

Blood of Dawnwalker | New Details

Aiming to be "at the quality level of The Witcher 3", says Mateusz Tomaszkiewicz, which he worked on as Lead Quest Designer
Main story to take around 30-40 hours, "we want to build something as robust [as The Witcher 3] in terms of quality, maybe a bit shorter"
"When the world is a bit smaller and you explore it more calmly and more relaxed, you kind of get to memorize these places, and it feels more like you actually know the place. It makes you feel like you're more inhabited
As a sandbox, the team is trying to maximize your options of choice in the game, though not endless, since you play as a set character, but they want to "give you the ability to shape your own Coen"
You can kill a lot of NPCs in the game, sometimes very important ones - "sometimes this can lead to alternate outcomes or even cut off certain quest lines"
Being a 'Dawnwalker' means that you have "blood hunger" during the night time, so this can actually lead to these NPCs dying if you're not careful
