UNTIL DAWN

UNTIL DAWN

Until Dawn is a 2015 interactive drama survival horror game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment. In it, players assume control of eight young adults who must survive on Blackwood Mountain when their lives are threatened. The game features a butterfly effect system in which players must make choices that may change the story. All playable characters can survive or die, depending on the choices made. Players explore the environment from a third-person perspective and find clues that may help solve the mystery.

Until Dawn was originally planned as a first-person game for the PlayStation 3‘s motion controller, PlayStation Move, but the motion controls were dropped when it became a PlayStation 4 game. The story was written by Larry Fessenden and Graham Reznick, who sought to create the video game equivalent of a slasher film. The development team took inspiration from various sources. These include the movies Evil Dead II and Poltergeist, and video games Heavy RainResident Evil, and Silent Hill. To ensure the game was scary, the team used a galvanic skin response test to measure playtesters’ fear levels when playing it. Jason Graves composed the soundtrack and Guerrilla Games‘ Decima game engine was used for the graphics. Several noted actors, including Rami MalekHayden PanettiereMeaghan MartinBrett DaltonJordan FisherNichole Sakura, and Peter Stormare, provided motion capture and voice acting.

ANOTHER DAY IN AMERICA

ANOTHER DAY IN AMERICA

Based on true events, Another Day in America is a dark, radical comedy-drama that revolves around an ensemble of distinct characters going through a post-pandemic day in an American office. It’s not business as usual — it’s personal. It’s cultural guerrilla warfare, navigating the pains of disenfranchisement, misogyny, racism, perversion, and mental illness. They are at a tipping point, making things even more painful, damaging, and dangerous. Another Day in America focuses on its polarized society, fueled by our dependence on online internet culture, a culture that is quickly changing yet is anchored by a profoundly violent and painful history.
