What is The Blood of Dawnwalker?

How the time mechanic works
Coen has 30 in-game days to rescue his family from the vampire lord Brencis. The game has no linear main quest: time advances only when the player undertakes quests or other plot-affecting actions. This time mechanic has been described as controversial and divisive in news coverage.
Why is it in the news?
Recent coverage focuses on whether a sequel would keep the time mechanic. The game director said a sequel would not necessarily include it, and that "we will not force it." Coverage from Eurogamer, PC Gamer and Rock Paper Shotgun frames the mechanic as disliked by many players.
