'Until Dawn' News: New Survival Horror Game to Watch Out For
After fans of survival horror games were disappointed with the cancellation of "Silent Hills," they may just have a new reason to rejoice at this recent piece of news on the gaming front. Game developer Supermassive recently revealed the trailer for an upcoming survival horror game called "Until Dawn."
Tech Times reports that if the trailer is indication enough of the game's quality, it is definitely something to look forward to in the horror genre. It will released exclusively for the Sony PlayStation 4. Unlike other games by other developers, not much hype has been made about the game. According to the report, the game's development started a few years ago but was scrapped. Development started again, eventually leading to the game's completion. It will hit retail stores on August 25, 2015.
What is notable about the game, as seen in the trailer, is the participation of some Hollywood actors in the game's development. Some of the characters are actually "motion-captured performances" of Hayden Panettiere of "Heroes" and "Nashville" and Rami Malik of "Twilight." They play two of the eight characters in the game.

According to the game's official website, it features eight friends who "are trapped on a remote mountain retreat and things quickly turn sinister, they start to suspect they aren't alone. Gripped by fear and with tensions in the group running high, you'll be forced to make snap decisions that could mean life, or death, for everyone involved."
As the game progresses, players need to make decisions on what actions to take, which also dictates the dialogue choices they need to make.
"With innovative choice mechanics and the Butterfly-Effect Interface, players can clearly see the path of their story amid the thousands that are possible. Seemingly insignificant choices as well as huge moral dilemmas that will question your sense of fairness, good and evil, can have major unforeseen circumstances," the developers said.
The game also will not allow players to go back and change decisions because of its strict auto-save feature. The unique feature of the game however is the fact that it was designed for multiple playthroughs, and that the game will not be "fully understandable if players just go through it once." Players can play as many characters as they want. Each playthrough is reported to last about nine hours.
