Inmates, drumroll please! Back to the Dawn has exited Early Access and is now officially a full release game, featuring two playable main characters — including the much anticipated Bob the Panther!
On this wonderful occasion, it would be remiss of us if we didn't show our appreciation towards our early access players. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you so much for playing Back to the Dawn while it was still in early access, providing countless invaluable feedback, sharing about our game with your friends, and hyping us up through this gamedev journey!
It is the enthusiastic feedback and support of our players that allowed us to complete Back to the Dawn. Without you, our “accomplices" and "co-conspirators", Back to the Dawn wouldn't be the complete game that it is today.
We bring to you Back to the Dawn version 1.0 — and wish you an exciting and unforgettable time within the confined walls of Boulderton Prison!
- Due to a technical problem with Steam, there are two base games available for purchase on the store page. Please make sure to purchase the discounted base game! We are urgently dealing with this issue and we apologize for the inconvenience!

As compared to the EA version, Back to the Dawn 1.0 will have a significant increase in content with the addition of the Black Panther Arc. As a result, after the 1.0 launch discount, the game's price will permanently increase to US$23.99 and other regions will also experience a proportionate price hike. We hope to seek you understanding on this change.
