Back to the Dawn Update v2.0.0.27 Adds Fast Travel and Bug Fixes

Back to the Dawn update v2.0.0.27 introduces a fast travel feature to the Main Building, optimizes the Item Encyclopedia, and resolves freezes tied to specific quests, minigames, and character routes.

Version 2.0.0.27 of Back to the Dawn brings quality-of-life additions like fast travel alongside a long list of bug fixes for specific character routes, UI elements, and progression blockers.

Quality-of-Life Additions

A fast travel feature is available, restricted to the Main Building and located next to the quick return to cell button in the lower-left corner. The Item Encyclopedia has been optimized to simultaneously display the locations of prisoners who possess a specific item. Other adjustments include a new clue requirement for delivering multiple quest items and minor repositioning for the Kangaroo and the Fox in specific branches.

Progression and Freeze Fixes

The update resolves multiple issues that caused game freezes or soft-locks. This includes fixes for accepting the quest Bruce's Money Problem after the eighth day, moving items or triggering the Endure Challenge in the guard room's cleaning room, clicking options in the Fox arc cafe, and interacting with Bruce after the 14th day roll call during specific warden event triggers.

Gameplay and Character Fixes

Fixes address incorrect character levels in Thomas' route for Bernard the Capybara and Rudolph the Reindeer on the tenth day. Combat and skill corrections ensure focus points properly restore after winning battles with the Esports Legend skill active, correct the Game of Kings I description, and prevent players from continuing to attack downed characters in 1v2 multiplayer combat using controller mode.

Why this patch matters

Update v2.0.0.27 clears out frustrating soft-locks and navigation hurdles, making prison life smoother with the addition of Main Building fast travel.
