Until Dawn 2015

Is it still worth playing?

A 2015 interactive drama and survival horror game in which eight young adults have to survive on Blackwood Mountain until they are rescued at dawn. You control them through cutscenes and third person exploration of linear environments, finding clues, items and totems that show glimpses of what may happen. Action scenes are mostly quick time events, including one in which the controller has to be held perfectly still when the game tells you not to move. Choices are the core of it. A butterfly effect system turns them into consequences, from picking up a book to moral decisions about the others' fate, some of them timed, and every major character can survive or die. Choices that decide who lives still make it worth playing again today.
