I absolutely loved Supermassive Games’ 2015 horror title Until Dawn. The interactive drama had intriguing supernatural lore and impeccable pacing that kept me engaged throughout the entire experience. Since then, I’ve been mixed on Supermassive’s output with its Dark Picture Anthology series, hoping that it could recapture the magic I felt with Until Dawn.
Star power I was given a quick rundown of the game’s intro and the cast of characters before going into the preview. The part of the game I played starts with the characters gathering wood for a fireplace. As the scenes unfold, I quickly learn the relationships and dynamics between each of them. Nick and Abigail have a romantic interest in each other.
Out of the entire cast, I think most people, including myself, will recognize Kaitlyn’s actor the most — the character is portrayed by Brenda Song from The Suite Life of Zack and Cody fame. Brenda’s performance stands out as particularly believable, most likely due to her years of acting experience. Overall, though, the solid acting across the board from the main cast of characters helps elevate the horror experience.
There are also choices that have a larger impact on the story. When Nick got attacked by the monster, I was given the choice, as Abigail, to either help Nick or run straight for the camp. I chose to help Nick and a text pop-up saying, “Path Chosen” appeared, indicating that this particular moment where she doesn’t leave Nick to die could affect other decisions later.
All of these different decisions and actions provide a feeling of suspense, as you only have a limited time to complete each one. Most of the binary choices I made felt equally viable; should I keep running or climb the tree to avoid the monster? You’ll never know whether or not you made the “wrong” choice until you see a character get killed.
