Back to the Dawn News

Hello inmates!

Back to the Dawn is currently participating in The Storyteller's Festival, which lasts from Feb 18th to Feb 25th! So be sure to share about our game with your friends and family!




Lately, we've been receiving more and more comments from you requesting for game updates sooner. We completely understand everyone's eagerness as we are quite anxious to share the Bob storyline ourselves! We are incredibly hard at work, improving the daily conversations within Bob's route, and writing the penultimate act of the plot. So we'd like to share some of the progress we've made in February!

The rest of the content we will share here involves the new carpark scene we are currently still working on, so we cannot divulge too much. But we can share some gifs of character animations we have prepared!
