After the success of Until Dawn, I was very excited for its spiritual successor (as I found the Dark Pictures Anthology games to be massively below average), unfortunately outside of a great cast, there isn’t much to like here

The story takes a while to set itself up, which is fine, and the supernatural element is cool, but it very quickly throws you into constant death situations that can feel like whiplash. The supernatural element of the game worked really well until I realised it’s basically a carbon copy of the wendigos from until dawn.

The game also has a huge chunk in the middle that deals with flashbacks, and while it’s needed, it’s also incredibly boring to slow the plot down to fill in context.

I got a few characters killed by the ending based off the game not being clear with some decisions it was presenting me, I never really bothered to go back and get the true ending. It’s an ok game with an ok story, but I preferred Until Dawn as the stakes felt higher and when you get a character killed, it felt more justified by the decisions I was making
