In Back to the Dawn, players take on the role of a journalist wrongfully imprisoned and must navigate the complexities of prison life to survive and escape. Collaborating with their attorney outside the prison walls, they gather evidence to clear their name and expose a larger conspiracy threatening the city. The game features a vast prison environment ripe for exploration, offering players the freedom to choose their path: become a model prisoner or embrace chaos. Players can build relationships with fellow inmates, forming alliances or engaging in conflict, ultimately shaping their own destiny within the prison hierarchy. Through skill development, crafting, and strategic thinking, players can rise from "new fish" to "top dog," utilizing every resource at their disposal to orchestrate a daring jailbreak.
