The famous horror game Until Dawn is finally getting an official sequel. Before I go into details about the story and what separates it from its predecessor, I want to distinguish the two games until Dawn is a first-person shooter (FPS) game set in a dark, eerie environment. Until Dawn is tasked with finding a group of teenagers missing since a deadly virus sweeps across America. The player assumes the role of this teen and embarks on a journey to find them.

The gameplay in Until Dawn is very adrenaline-pumping, and that's part of what makes it different from other horror games. The story presented to you in Until Dawn is very atmospheric, with robust and understated imagery. The game is Supermassive Games Until Dawn, which launched with little fanfare, yet saw a slew of people buzzing around it like crazy since its release. Instead, it has more in common with action-based, narrative-based games such as what we've seen from Quantic Dream, Limbo, and beyond. And that's what makes it a unique game.

The storyline follows the character of Jack, a young man who awakens from a coma after being attacked by a strange assailant. Once he wakes up, he quickly realizes that he has some affliction that has rendered him powerless. He must fight his way through the creepy town of Rapture and fight his way towards the heart of the city, where he hopes to find the mysterious "ender" that killed his family. If only all of that were simple.

As the game progresses, you'll learn more about the origins of the Big Sister, as well as how she became so powerful. Along the way, you'll also discover that the strange man in the suit is Jack's father and that the whole town was under some controlled dome. Throughout the game, you'll be introduced to a new character, the Big Sister, who serves as the playable character. While you are playing, you'll have the opportunity to choose whether you would like to follow her to the water wheel or get to the bottom of the mystery behind her presence in Rapture.

In Chapter Four of Until Dawn, you will play as either Jack or Jane, and you'll be given the option to go either on foot or by vehicle. As usual, your decisions will impact the outcome of the game. When you arrive at the end of the chapter, you will see that everyone has gone back to Rapture's surface, except for two individuals. These characters are the only ones who are left, and they are determined to find out who created the Big Sister doll.

When you return to the surface, you'll see that the entire city has been wiped out, save for a few streets. The Big Sister is nowhere to be found, and it is your job to find out what happened and where the guards have placed the Big Sister Doll. The two remaining characters are locked away in a room, and you will need to sneak inside and use the Little Sister to keep everyone alive until the game ends. When you fail this objective, the Little Sister will become hostile, and you will have to fight her until you succeed in finding the guards and ending the game on your terms.

At the end of the game, you will find that everything was a dream, and you are presented with a single button. Click this button, and you will wake up in a bed just in time to see that Sam has run away from the surface, landing on the beach. You will immediately recognize that Sam was unconscious when he fell, but you have no idea how he made it until the following day when you spot his sleeping bag in the sand. He then makes his way into the tent you have left for him, and you need to hold down until he wakes up to help him find shelter. Everything else is perfectly still, and you are given the option to start the next level, where you will find that the island is under attack.

In Until Dawn: The Orange County Report, you get to take control of Sam Haine as he tries to save the remaining residents of his new home from the wendigo outbreak. The game's premise can feel a bit generic, but it is presented in a way that makes you feel like you are part of the action. The potential death scenes, the slow pace, and the slow-mo style of playing make Until Dawn: The Orange County Report is one of the year's best games.
