Until Dawn: 10 Things That Look Absolutely Terrifying
6. The Jump Scares
One thing thats made very clear by the gameplay preview is that there will be jump scares. Often jump scares are dismissed as a cheap trick, but they're extremely effective when used well. With a game like Five Nights At Freddys in mind, this could make Until Dawn go from good to brilliant. These kind of scares are almost compulsory for the teen slasher film genre, so bringing them into the game should help ramp up the tension and create an atmosphere of severe paranoia. The use of jump scares will severely impact the quick time events. When panicking about which cameras to switch to in Five Nights At Freddy's, your decision-making skills are often impaired. Supermassive have stated that there will be a lot of split-second and moral decisions for the player to make. Life-or-death decisions are hard to make at the best of times (see: The Walking Dead). Until Dawn will then add a further challenge with these jump scares is set to make Until Dawn a uniquely frantic and intense gaming experience.
