GUILTY UNTIL PROVEN INNOCENT!

Back to the Dawn is a gripping tale of crime, corruption, and politics. You find yourself in a high-security prison where you don't belong, and your goal is to escape by any means necessary.

But that's not all! You'll also need to investigate the forces controlling the city and threatening to bring it down. Can you uncover the conspiracy that goes all the way to the top before it's too late? Every choice matters, and the mayoral election is only three weeks away…

FOX OR PANTHER? Two different protagonists await you in this captivating story. Thomas the fox is a journalist framed and thrown into prison for a crime he didn't commit. He'll have to work with his lawyer on the outside to gather evidence and prove his innocence.

Bob, the black panther, is an undercover agent at the end of his rope. But a personal tragedy drives him to accept one last mission deep within the prison. Thomas and Bob are both hunting for the truth… but who can you really trust in a place like this?

A MASSIVE PRISON: This is a colossal RPG with an immersive narrative of over 500,000 words, more than 100 hand-crafted quests, multiple escape routes, and several possible endings. As you journey through the dark underbelly of the prison system, you'll meet 47 unique inmates, each with their own personality and objectives. Getting to know them is essential for success — and it's also one of the greatest pleasures of Back to the Dawn.

FIND YOUR OWN PLAYSTYLE: Every player will find their own way to tackle the challenges of Back to the Dawn. The game is full of possibilities! Do you prefer to settle problems with your fists, sneak in the shadows, or use your charm to manipulate other inmates? Will you remain a model prisoner or sow chaos? You could even join one of the game's three gangs! Whatever your approach, you'll need to develop your skills, craft the right tools for your style, and break your way out of this hell once and for all.
