Transcript

00:00The New Dawn is an old school survival horror with a few new combat mechanics that you need

00:08to master in order to survive. Set in a bleak alternate future where all the humanity has

00:19been wiped out, you play as a traveler tasked by the mysterious collective to dive back

00:25into the past and collect the essences of key people targeted by the collective.

00:34The game is played from a third person perspective and its combat is designed to make players

00:39feel rewarded for thinking strategically. This is the kind of game where you can't afford

00:47to waste bullets, nor you can ignore any loot drops or opportunities for crafting.

00:55Instead the focus, especially in the first few hours, is on pure survival. You have to

01:00make use of your limited inventory, pick up every last bullet and healing item and learn

01:07how to finish off enemies as efficiently as possible. A key strategy here is to charge up

01:13your weapon for each shot, which deals more damage and helps you save more ammo.

01:21Then, as you get increasingly powerful by unlocking more upgrades for your suit and weapons, you'll

01:27find that enemies which one posed a challenge are now easier to deal with, and you'll have

01:33enough tools in your arsenal to face off against even bigger threats.

01:38But remember, the enemies in this game have a trick up their sleeve. They can merge. Any enemy

01:47you can kill can be absorbed by other nearby enemies, making them stronger and tougher.

01:54Fire is your best friend in this game. You can use it to burn the bodies of the dead enemies,

02:02and also to interrupt the merge as it's happening. Additionally, there are red barrels that you

02:08can shoot to cause an explosion and eliminate multiple enemies at once.

02:15What's more, all of your weapons serve different roles. Some are meant for close quarters combat,

02:24others better suited for long range shooting. You can even change the firing modes with different

02:32upgrades at the traveler's workstation. And remember, only use melee as your last resort,

02:41not your primary tool. If you made it this far, congratulations! You have what it takes to be a traveler.

02:56master its mechanics and strategy. And for those of you who'd like to try Chronos, but haven't yet
