I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that the game was made by Chinese developers

I was pleasantly surprised when I found out that the game was made by Chinese developers. Usually, at least in my perception, Chinese games often feel "copy-paste" - technically fine, but lacking soul. Back To The Dawn completely breaks that stereotype. This game looks, sounds, and feels outstanding. A true masterpiece. The story is delivered gradually and very thoughtfully - through dialogues, situations, and player choices. It allows you to deeply understand the characters’ motivations and genuinely empathize with them. The dramatization is strong and well-balanced: tension and emotions are felt throughout the entire game. The gameplay perfectly supports the narrative. The prison feels alive and genuinely dangerous - you have to think, adapt, and consider the consequences of your decisions. The world reacts to the player, which greatly enhances immersion. There are many characters, and what’s especially pleasing is how well they are developed. Each one has a distinct personality, a past, personal secrets, and a role within the prison hierarchy, making the world feel rich and believable. The atmospheric music perfectly complements what’s happening on screen, enhancing key moments and making them even more memorable - whether tense, emotional, or even lighthearted. The game delivers a powerful, atmospheric, and emotional experience that stays with you long after finishing it. I recommend it to everyone - I’m confident this game will appeal to almost anyone.
