Grayport, 1947. 2:00 AM. At 6:00 the police raid Silas Vane's empire, but they need the evidence first.
Dawn Raid is a single-screen arcade platformer with a neo-noir soul. As detective Ray Corso you sneak through docks, nightclubs, offices and skyscrapers to grab every case file before sunrise, then reach the ringing phone booth to call it in.
THE CLEANER IS RIGHT BEHIND YOU
Vane's hitman follows your exact path, jump for jump, a few seconds behind. Stop for too long and he catches you. Double back and you run straight into him. Your route is your strategy.
LIGHT AND SHADOW MATTER
Step into the light and the Cleaner speeds up and goons with flashlights spot you. Stay in the shadows and you buy yourself time. Cut the power and the whole block goes dark.
PURE ARCADE
• Short, tense nights: one screen, one goal, about a minute each
• No weapons: you dodge, plan and run
• Keys, safes, filing cabinets, freight elevators, stage lights, rotten floors and rooftop beacons
• Boss nights against Vane's lieutenants
• Simple touch controls: a big D-pad and one jump button, left-handed layout available
TWO WAYS TO PLAY
• Story: the nights in order, unlimited retries, up to 3 stars each
• Arcade Night: random nights, 3 lives, chase the high score
STYLE
Original pixel art in noir blues with a yellow accent, a jazz-wave synth soundtrack and film filters (sepia, green phosphor and more) unlocked with stars.
Dawn Raid is free to play with optional ads. A single purchase, Case Closed, removes full-screen ads and gives you rewarded bonuses without videos.
