Overview

Back to the Dawn is a prison-escape-themed RPG where crime, conspiracy, and survival intertwine inside a brutal correctional facility ruled by factions, secrets, and violence.

You play as an animal inmate, navigating the harsh realities of prison life—building relationships, gathering evidence, uncovering conspiracies, and carefully planning your escape. Every decision matters, and time is always against you.

Fight not only for your freedom, but for the future of the city itself.

Story

In a city of animals consumed by corruption, you are wrongfully imprisoned.

Choose between two protagonists:

• A journalist framed for a crime he didn’t commit

• An undercover investigator trapped deep inside the system

With allies operating on the outside, you must collect evidence, follow hidden leads, and expose the truth—without drawing attention. Inside the prison, rival gangs vie for power, secrets lurk behind locked doors, and every inmate has their own agenda.

Can you escape before the conspiracy consumes everything?
