Until Dawn is a flawed, but fun experience. Though an unfocused story means it falls short of greatness, it’s an otherwise entertaining homage to the curious traditions of horror movies which pays off your in-game decisions with occasionally shocking consequences.

Overall, we really enjoyed playing Until Dawn. It’ll take around 10-11 hours for a complete playthrough, which to some may be relatively short, but with the sheer amount of possible storylines, it deserves multiple playthroughs as you’ll experience something different every time. The use of the choice-and-consequence system makes playing the game more interesting as you’ll find yourself questioning each decision you make, and the possible outcome of your decision. Every element of this game has been thought out, from the design of the environment to the varying camera angles used, and the finished product is one of our favourite decision based horror games ever.

This is a horror game with your own personal fears at its core, but told through the story of eight friends returning to a remote mountain lodge a year after the disappearance of their friends Hannah and Beth. The girls fled into the wood after a prank on Hannah went a bit wrong, and were never seen again.
