Release Date: August 25 2015 It's rare that a survival horror game will ever live up to hype and expectations, but Until Dawn - the upcoming title from developer Supermassive Games - could do just that. Though the plot - which has six friends spending a night in a log cabin whilst being hunted by a serial killer - is super familiar, Until Dawn isn't your run of the mill horror title. According to the developer, this game is wholly unique on account of its innovative narrative approach. That's to say, each 9 hour play-through utilises a special in-game system called the Butterfly Effect in which "any choice of action by the player may cause major unforeseen consequences later on." Which means that everybody's experience of Until Dawn will be totally different. Not to mention that the graphics are stunning, and the voice acting is of the professional kind. Seriously: this game stars actress Hayden Panettiere and everything! Here's hoping that it manages to grant players an unforgettable experience with ultimate replay value, then.
