About

As Jacob Lee, you've been sent to live with your Aunt in the last days of winter vacation following a terrible family tragedy. Meet new people, make choices, and explore the spaces between dreams and memories.

To Dawn and Back is a non-violent surrealist art-horror game inspired by visual novels and immersive sims. With more than 20 unique dreams determined by your actions and more than a dozen unique characters, I hope it is an adventure that will stay with you when you step away from the screen
