Until Dawn gameplay explained

Discover the features that make Until Dawn a unique and highly replayable horror experience.

Player control

Throughout the story you will play as all eight friends. The relationships they have with the other characters and whether they survive until dawn are determined by your narrative choices.

The Butterfly Effect

Every choice you make has an impact. Your decisions, large and small, set events in motion that will decide whether characters live or die - but death is not the end, as the game adapts and changes according to the story you create. This creates a complex branching narrative with multiple possible endings.

The decision is yours

Prepare to have your morals, reflexes and quick-thinking put to the ultimate test. Make impossible choices, hold your nerve and try to make split-second decisions that could make the difference between life and death.

Your sixth Sense

Haptic feedback from the DualSense® wireless controller brings you closer to Until Dawn's world by allowing you to feel approaching footsteps and the characters' shivers, shocks and pounding heartbeats. It also aids in sensing nearby totems - special collectables that offer prophecies of potential futures.
