Terms of Use
Effective November 12, 2026
These terms cover Turned by Dawn and this website, turnedbydawn.com. Both are made and run by Next Player Up, LLC (“Next Player Up,” “we,” “us”). By playing the game or using this website, you agree to these terms. If you do not agree, please do not play or use the site.
These terms are also the end-user license agreement (EULA) for Turned by Dawn.
You also play under the terms of the platform or store you got the game from, such as Xbox, PlayStation, Steam or the Epic Games Store. If those terms and ours disagree about something the platform controls, like purchases, refunds or your platform account, the platform's terms apply.
Who can play
You must be at least 13 years old, or older if the game's age rating where you live requires it, and old enough to use your platform's online features. If you are under the age of majority where you live, a parent or guardian must agree to these terms for you.
Your account
You play through your platform account. You are responsible for what happens on it, so keep it secure. Your gamertag or display name is shown to other players, so pick one you are happy for them to see.
Playing fair and being decent
Turned by Dawn is about lying to your friends, in the game. Bluffing, scheming and betrayal are part of play. Outside of that, we ask everyone to keep it fun. You agree not to:
- Cheat, use hacks, bots or mods that give you an unfair advantage, or exploit bugs on purpose.
- Harass, threaten, bully or abuse other players, including through hate speech or slurs.
- Share sexual content involving minors, or anyone's private information without their consent.
- Impersonate other people, including Next Player Up staff.
- Interfere with our servers or other players' connections, or try to get into systems you should not.
- Reverse engineer, copy, resell or redistribute the game, except where the law allows it.
- Use the game to break the law.
To report a player, use the report tools of the platform you play on: Xbox, PlayStation, Steam or Epic. We do not take player reports ourselves. If a platform acts on a report, you appeal to that platform.
Voice and text chat
Voice and text chat run on Epic Online Services, provided by Epic Games. We do not record, store or log anyone's chat. You are responsible for what you say in chat. Other players are not part of Next Player Up, and we do not control what they say. Use your platform's tools to mute, block or report players who make the game worse.
Purchases
You buy Turned by Dawn through your platform or store. Payment, refunds and returns follow that store's rules and are handled by the store, not by us. There are no in-game purchases. If we ever add any, we will update these terms first.
Playtests and early versions
Playtest and early access builds are unfinished. They may have bugs, lose progress, change a lot, or stop being available. Feedback you give us during a playtest helps us make the game, and you agree we can use it freely, without paying you or giving you credit.
These same terms apply to playtests. Unless we say you can, please do not share unreleased content you see in a playtest, such as screenshots, videos, or details of unannounced features.
What we own and what you own
Next Player Up and its licensors own Turned by Dawn, including its code, art, music, characters, names and trademarks. We give you a personal, non-exclusive, non-transferable, revocable license to play the game for your own non-commercial use, under these terms and your platform's terms.
You are welcome to stream, record and share videos and screenshots of Turned by Dawn, including on monetized channels. The one exception is unreleased playtest content, as described above.
Things you create and share, like your display name and what you say in chat, stay yours. You give us permission to use them as needed to run the game, such as showing your name to other players.
Changes to the game
We update Turned by Dawn over time. We may add, change or remove features, maps, modes or content. Online features need our servers, and we cannot promise they will run forever. If we ever shut down the game's online services, we will give at least 30 days' notice in the game, on this website, or on our social channels.
No warranties
The game and this website are provided “as is” and “as available,” without warranties of any kind, to the fullest extent the law allows. That includes implied warranties of merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose and non-infringement. We do not promise the game will always be available or free of bugs.
Limits on our liability
To the fullest extent the law allows, Next Player Up is not liable for indirect, incidental, special or consequential damages, and our total liability to you for any claim is limited to what you paid for Turned by Dawn in the 12 months before the claim. Some places do not allow these limits, so they may not all apply to you.
Indemnification
If someone brings a claim against us because of how you used the game or because you broke these terms, you agree to cover our costs and losses from that claim, to the extent the law allows.
Ending these terms
You can stop playing at any time. We may suspend or end your access to online play if you break these terms, or if we need to for legal or security reasons. The sections on ownership, warranties, liability, indemnification and governing law still apply after that.
Governing law
These terms are governed by the laws of the Commonwealth of Virginia, without regard to its conflict-of-law rules. Any legal action must be brought in the state or federal courts located in Winchester, Virginia. If you live somewhere that gives you the right to bring a claim in your local courts, nothing here takes that away.
Changes to these terms
We may update these terms. When we do, we will change the effective date at the top, and for significant changes we will tell you in the game or on our social channels. If you keep playing after a change, you accept the new terms.
