A thrilling prison-break RPG

Back to the Dawn is a premium adventure RPG by Metal Head Games, pioneering the riveting themes of deceit and suspicion. This intriguing detective storyline compels players to harness their intellect, scour every nook, and exploit any vulnerability for their survival

In Back to the Dawn, you become an embattled journalist, falsely accused and confined. Survival in this brutal, merciless world hinges on forming alliances or rivalries with fellow prisoners while crafting the perfect escape strategy. However, unlike other popular prison escape games, such as A Way Out, this game only offers single-player gameplay. 

Detailed storyline and character development

Back to the Dawn provides a riveting narrative where players step into the shoes of a framed journalist trying to survive and break free from a maximum-security prison. The game is set in a dynamic environment with a massive penitentiary structure filled with various areas to explore and secrets to uncover. Each corner of the prison presents a covert opportunity for escape. 

To navigate the game, players have the freedom to choose their own path. They can opt to be a model prisoner, abiding by the rules and keeping their head down, or wreak havoc as they make their way out of jail. With the game's open character growth system, players have the freedom to shape their character according to their desired playstyle. 

The game also features a colorful cast of fellow inmates within the prison, each with their own unique stories to tell. Whether you decide to join a gang or navigate the prison as a cunning lone wolf, the interactions with these characters provide further depth, flexibility, and replay value to the game's narrative. However, for fans of co-op gaming, this title may not be suitable for them.

Great addition to the prison-escape subgenre

Back to the Dawn offers a blend of narrative-driven gameplay and player freedom. Spanning the adventurous and thrilling terrain of a maximum-security prison, the game combines intellectual challenge and strategic gameplay, framed in an immersive single-player experience. The array of fellow inmate characters enriches the narrative while bolstering the game's replay value. However, the absence of co-op gameplay may deter some player segments looking for a shared experience.
