Summary/Abstract: Gray Dawn is a critically-successful Romanian video game that treats of religion, spirituality, trauma, redemption and love. Its success is owed to a mature storytelling loaded with religious and literary allusion. To replicate the linguistic impact of the English-language original in the Spanish localization, this paper outlines an optimal translation strategy based on an examination of the original's qualities and contextual comparability to traditions in the Hispanosphere.
