Why on Deck

Back to the Dawn is the kind of game where you are always juggling a dozen things at once, building relationships, gathering evidence, managing daily prison life, and figuring out how to get out. It’s mentally engaging in the best possible way, and playing it on the Deck means you can settle in and really lose yourself in it. Lying in bed plotting your prison break while managing faction allegiances hits differently than staring at a desk monitor. The pixel art and top-down perspective are perfectly suited to the screen size, and the Deck Verified status means everything just works.
