About the Game

The Broken Dawn is an atmospheric first-person survival horror game about an abandoned city that fell victim to a secret experiment on human consciousness.

You play as Thomas Cale, a video blogger who went with friends to the isolated city of Greyfield for a new video. After a car accident, he wakes up alone. His friends are gone, and the city is filled with madmen and mutants.


Plot

The government once conducted experiments in Greyfield on the impact on people's psyche using radio signals. The O.N.Y.X corporation turned this project into a weapon, using a special powder that causes hallucinations, madness, and mutations.

The city was completely isolated, and the truth hidden. Now Thomas must uncover the secret of Greyfield, find his friends, and escape a place where reality and madness are intertwined.



Gameplay

The player explores the abandoned city of Greyfield, entering empty houses, a hospital, and other gloomy locations. As he progresses, he will find notes and items revealing the history of the events that occurred here, as well as solving puzzles that open the way forward.

Madmen and mutants are encountered along the way. Some enemies can be avoided by hiding in closets and under beds, while others can be engaged in combat using a limited arsenal of weapons. Each shot can attract the attention of new opponents, so the player has to choose between risk and caution.

Resources are strictly limited, and the tense atmosphere requires constant concentration. The hero's camera serves not only as a light source but also as a tool for immersion in what is happening, allowing you to capture the strange and frightening phenomena of the city.

Survival

There are no safe places in Greyfield. Any sound or careless action can be your last. Only attentiveness, stealth, and composure will help you reach the end.

Can you uncover the truth and leave the cursed city—or will you become another of its victims?
