The walls won’t keep you quiet forever.
Publisher Clouded Leopard Entertainment, together with developer Metal Head Games, has officially launched Back to the Dawn on PlayStation 5 — available right now via the PlayStation Store for $34.99. This gritty, story-rich prison-break RPG casts you into a maximum-security facility seething with corruption, factions, and buried conspiracies — and it’s up to you to survive, uncover the truth, and get out.
Two Lives Behind Bars
You’re not just choosing a character — you’re choosing why you’re locked up. Two distinct protagonists, two separate stories, each with over 20 hours of narrative:
- Thomas the Fox — an investigative journalist wrongfully convicted for digging too deep. Trapped in Boulderton Prison while his attorney fights on the outside, he must gather evidence from the inside to expose the conspiracy that framed him and save the city.
- Bob the Panther — a seasoned undercover agent tired of the game. Drawn back for one last mission by personal tragedy, he infiltrates the prison to root out rot from within — and walks away with his life if he can.
Every choice matters. With over 500,000 words of dialogue, 100+ handcrafted quests, and 47 uniquely written inmates, the prison feels alive — and dangerous.
The Prison Is Your World — and Your Weapon
Boulderton Prison isn’t just a backdrop — it’s a sprawling, living system you must learn to manipulate:
- Navigate the power struggle — three rival gangs run the blocks. Ally, oppose, exploit, or play them against each other. Build alliances or rule through fear; the choice is yours.
- Gather evidence in secret — snoop files, overhear conversations, and piece together what the authorities are hiding. Do it well, and you unravel the truth. Get caught, and you’re punished.
- Grow your way — brute force, stealth, charm, or cunning. An open skill system lets you shape your approach: fight your way out, pick every lock, or talk your way past guards.
- Craft your escape — fashion tools from scrap, dig tunnels, bribe guards, or engineer chaos. Multiple escape routes, each with distinct risks and rewards, lead to several possible endings — no two breakouts play the same.
