The Nanjing Massacre was not the entirety of Japanese wartime atrocities, but rather a point of entry through which the brutal nature of the Japanese invasion of China becomes visible. From 1931 to 1945, over the course of fourteen years of war, countless Chinese civilians were subjected to killing, torture, and systematic persecution. Such violence was not confined to a single city or moment in history, but extended across occupied territories, profoundly shaping the lives of ordinary people.


Dead to Rights is a narrative-driven role-playing game set against the historical backdrop of the Japanese invasion of China.
You may choose from a range of characters, each representing a story that truly existed. Each character represents a distinct group of victims of the Japanese invasion of China, including comfort women, children, journalists, soldiers, civilians, and war orphans, among others. Players will step into their lives and experience the choices, suffering, and resilience they endured.
All character stories are adapted from real historical accounts.
