Until Dawn weaves a pretty good story and a few solid performances into an interesting choose your own adventure style horror game.

The game gets dragged down a bit by some uneven performances, characters that feel unimportant and massively underdeveloped (even by horror trope standards), and other characters feeling practically bulletproof for what they go through and still manage to survive (and despite your own choices up to that point). Until Dawn is fun enough despite these issues though and shows flashes of a potential classic from the team in charge in the future. The formula and some of the writing is definitely there.
