Thanks in no small part to the recent release of Friday the 13th: The Game, I finally got my hands on a Playstation 4 just a few weeks back. I’ve been hungry for new horror games to play, and Playstation Plus has been good to me on that front.
For June, they put up Killing Floor 2, free of charge. And this coming month, Until Dawn will join my fast-growing library!
Just announced today, the slasher game will be included as a free July game for Playstation Plus members. Our own Adam Dodd named Until Dawn one of the best horror games back in 2015, writing that it “ended up being better than the majority of the [slasher] films that inspired it.” Can’t wait to dig in!
Set in Western Canada, Until Dawn centers around a group of eight teenagers who decide to vacation for a night in a cabin on the fictional Blackwood Mountain, exactly one year after the disappearance of two girls, the twin sisters of a member of their group. Shortly after arriving, the gang find themselves under attack by a psychopath, and must attempt to survive until sunrise.
Throughout the adventure, players alternate between all eight characters, making critical decisions as the story advances which drastically affects the game’s outcome, leading to hundreds of different scenarios.
You can start playing through Playstation Plus this weekend.
