The Until Dawn Effect
Why do people keep acting like these “choose your own adventure” games are new? And why do they keep being surprised when they don’t let you choose your own adventure? Maybe because they haven’t read this informative and insightful article yet! (me do write smart) Today on The Anime Harvest, the Until Dawn Effect.
Until Dawn is the newest viral gaming a recent (man, these things age fast) horror/adventure game from Supermassive Games. The premise is pretty simple; a bunch of dumb kids go to a cabin the woods, they find out something else is up there, and some of them die or survive depending on the player’s decisions throughout the story. It’s fine for what it ultimately is- an interactive horror movie- but one thing everyone seems to agree on is that the game didn’t have enough alternate paths.
