very good for a single run.

if you're a completionist though i highly recommend you try and get through with as many saved people as possible since replaying the game is an absolute pain in the ass because of how the save system works.

It's good to play with friends and see what kind of dumb stuff you can make happen. I wouldn't suggest playing it seriously.

Yes it's really good.

It's very silly and a loving homage to dumb b horror movies so don't come in taking it seriously.

But really without wishing to spoil it takes the tired old "Your actions will have consequences!" thing and actually manages to find a way to make it work. At least better than every other game that makes that claim.

However it IS very much a walking simulator. If you don't like walking slowly around, looking at stuff while people make dumb conversation, and then occasional QTEs, you will hate it because that's all it has.

I really want a sequel, I think the game is dripping with potential.

He might be talking about the way chapter select works. If you go back to an earlier chapter and change anything, I believe it locks you out of later chapters forcing you to keep playing through in order for the changes to stick.

The ball is round, the game lasts 90 minutes. That's fact.
Everything else, is theory.

Same as every other walking simulator

You find things on the floor, pass QTE and make choices.

I.E There's a locked trap-door on the floor and something is banging on it, do you open it?

Oh look, I found the Hitler Marriage Certificate on the desk behind the bed! That may come up later

It was fun and worth replaying once or twice if you're into horror movies.

Best movie game imo.

this.

basically if the earliest critical choice in order to save a character is in chapter 3 you basically have to start from chapter 3 and play to the end before your choices are saved.

since so many things can go wrong until you get to the end, if you screw up say in chapter 7 and kill the same character you were trying to save, the game autosaves that moment meaning you have to start again from chapter 3 in order to make that same critical choice that prevented them from dying in chapter 3 and play up till 7 again and hope they don't die once more.

it's completely ridiculous.

no, no it's not. that's not what a walking simulator is.

gone home? sure. firewatch? yeah, fine.

until dawn? lol, no. I suppose you consider heavy rain a walking simulator too? (hint: youd be wrong)

Yeah I consider Heavy Rain and Life Is Strange to be walking simulators.

I know there is some anger towards the term as it is seen as derogatory but I'd classify any game that is 87-100% walking around looking at stuff and/or 10% QTEs as Walking Simulators.

There's really no "gameplay" in Until Dawn in any traditional sense. It's an interactive story. You walk around and a story unfolds. Hence why so many people just watched it on Youtube rather than playing it.

Speaking of TC, Life Is Strange is a lot better than Until Dawn and part 1 (of 5) is free so If you're looking for a game to play I highly reccomend that.

At least play part 1 for free to see if you like it

Real good, especially if you're a fan of that sort of horror type movie genre. Plays out real well.

Oh

Well Until Dawn is worse so... lower expectations.

But it's the same kind of game so you know what to expect.

Until Dawn is like Life Is Strange except its horror and every character is Victoria.
