Until Dawn, made under the helm of Supermassive Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, is a Playstation 4 exclusive survival horror game that has a seemingly corny concept of 8 teens in a cabin on the anniversary of the death of one of their friends, only to find out that they are being stalked by a crazed serial kill. Original story? I don't think so, but the game offers many things to make the somewhat dated story have a more interested twist.
In most horror games, you get a game over screen when the character dies, but this is not the case with Until Dawn. The story branches off of the decisions the player makes. Deaths and everything can cause a variety of different things to happen, and from what can be read, the story is a horror story with the tenseness of games like Heavy Rain.
The makers are trying to give it a slightly more slasher movie feel by bringing on the likes of Hayden Panettiere (of Heros and Scream 4 fame) to deliver an authentic Slasher movie experience.
I myself love slashers, and the fact that this is offering a new view on the somewhat mundane "You are being hunted" genre of horror games, I have to say I will be preordering it, which you can also do from here.
Here is the official gameplay trailer for it, to wet you appetite for one of the best horror games coming out June, 2015.
