KotakuPatrick KlepekAug 2015A delightfully absurd choose-your-own adventure horror game that encourages multiple playthroughs.

The JimquisitionJames Stephanie SterlingAug 20159.5/10Until Dawn is everything that Quantic Dream games have tried to be – unsuccessfully – for the past decade. It emulates horror movies while demonstrating a clear understanding of what makes those movies work, its focus on consequence is nervewracking and intricate, and its story is silly but strongly delivered.

Paste MagazineCameron KunzelmanAug 20159.5/10Until Dawn is genre-changing across the board, and I literally cannot wait for other games to pick up even 1% of what it brings to the table in terms of narrative and design innovation.

Digital SpyJoe DonnellyAug 20152/5 starsDespite the butterfly effect's premise, a ham-fisted story means you won't care about who might live and who might die. It's not enough to save the game from disappointment, and in the end, Until Dawn is its own self-inflicted nightmare.
