13 Horror Video Games To Play Before You Die

10. Until Dawn

Choose your own adventure is kind of the heart of gaming really, but Until Dawn takes it to the next level with teen slasher gameplay. Controlling a group of eight as they head to Blackwood Mountain for a get together, players attempt to keep everyone alive as they're accosted by evils both earthly and supernatural, with a winding mystery unfolding at its centre that sticks its claws in and doesn't let go.

Until Dawn is both a cinematic masterpiece and a gaming revelation, blurring the lines far more deeply than Telltale's offerings in the same genre of gameplay. Tapping into horror at its most trope heavy and flipping it on its head, the game is a masterwork of both innovation and storytelling - making for an experience that just keeps on giving.
