The Short Game

79: Until Dawn

Listen Later

Until Dawn is a 2015 horror-movie-styled adventure game for the Playstation 4 from relatively unknown developer Supermassive Games. It’s unusual for being a “Triple-A” adventure game, exclusive to the PS4 and with a duration of only around 8 hours. Guide a group of teens through a dangerous array of horror movie tropes!

Horror movie fans will find a lot to love here but reactions to the game have been mixed. Does a $60 8 hour adventure game have a place in the modern gaming landscape?

This is a story-centric game; our spoiler break is at about 35 minutes.
