What is until dawn movie?

Until Dawn is an interactive drama horror game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. While not a movie in the traditional sense, it's often discussed as a cinematic experience due to its heavy emphasis on narrative, character development, and branching storylines determined by player choices. Essentially, it's like a playable horror movie.

The game centers around a group of eight friends who return to a remote mountain lodge on the anniversary of their friends' disappearance. As the night unfolds, they are terrorized by a psychopathic%20killer and something far more sinister lurking in the mountains.

Key elements of Until Dawn include:

  • The Butterfly Effect: Player choices, both big and small, have significant consequences that alter the narrative and determine who lives or dies.
  • Character Relationships: The dynamic between the eight friends is crucial. Player actions impact their relationships, influencing their willingness to help each other survive.
  • Horror Tropes: The game heavily borrows from classic horror%20tropes, subverting expectations and playing with common horror movie formulas.
  • Multiple Endings: Due to the branching narrative, there are numerous possible endings depending on who survives and the choices made throughout the game. The ending is heavily dependent on player actions.
  • The Wendigo: Besides the initial threat of a supposed killer, the characters face a supernatural threat in the form of Wendigo, cannibalistic creatures from Native American folklore.
