a popular interactive horror video game released in 2015 rather than a movie. Until Dawn is a cinematic experience that blends elements of survival horror and psychological thriller, developed by Supermassive Games for the PlayStation 4.
The game’s story revolves around a group of eight friends who decide to spend a night in a remote mountain lodge,
one year after the mysterious disappearance of two of their friends. What starts as a fun getaway soon descends into terror as they find themselves hunted by sinister forces lurking in the shadows. Players make crucial decisions throughout the game that influence the story’s outcome, including who lives and who dies.
The narrative is filled with suspense, horror tropes, and a branching storyline that reacts to the player’s choices using a “butterfly effect” system.
The characters, portrayed by actors like Hayden Panettiere and Rami Malek, bring the game to life with realistic performances. The immersive experience feels like watching a horror movie while also being in control of the fate of its characters.
