Synopsis

Secret Dawn is an adult adventure RPG full of intrigue, lust, and deception. This game, from Haldane, is set in the near future and follows two lovestruck commoners, Jon and Eva, who are unwillingly led to participate in a world-famous game show called “Crucible.” Their relationship will be put to the ultimate test as they realize they have been made pawns in a much larger and more dangerous game.

The game features NTR. Game development includes changes to mechanics, and updates will not just add to the story. Bugs are also expected.
