Heavy Rain style-game but in a slasher movie premise for PS4.

The game follows a group of 8 teenagers as they spend the night in a log cabin on the anniversary of the death of one of their friends, unaware that they are being hunted by a crazed serial killer.

Apparently anyone can die and the story adapts to it.
Last gameplay trailer shown was fun (in a cheesy slasher/horror movie way).

A longer gameplay video

From what someone else told me, the player is required to be familiar with the slasher genre in order to make decisions that will prevent a character from making the same mistakes we’ve all witnessed before. For example, don’t run up the stairs! Sounds like there will be a complicated array of branching paths.

Game hype is way up after the new reveal, graphics got better and great B-horror movie fix.
There is mechanic called Butterfly effect, you cannot predict the outcome of choices but when you see a butterfly in the corner , it means that it has caused ripple effects down the plot. You can save all characters and all can die on different spots, unlike TTG and like heavy Rain which i like.

Hundreds of endings are promised.

Gonna be a hit on PS4 streams with hot girls playing hot girls in the game.

Some impressions with some new footage.

Wasnt this a double fine prototype idea that didn’t make the cut in the last amnesia fortnight program?

Sounds eerily similar…except it was going to be p&c. This makes more sense probably though.

I’m intrigued…

Watched the videos - this game looks like a riot. If I ever get a PS4 I’ll get this game.

The PS4 is starting to be an interesting platform…..

I enjoy playing adventure games on my Alienware M17 r4 and my Nintendo Switch OLED.

^id hope so! PS4 is presently “winning” this generation.. so they dont have any excuses to not get it support for some interesting exclusives. It’ll probably be a while before the system convinces me.. but still.. moving in the right direction… slowly..

Going by the videos I’ve seen…I’m going to struggle to find the motivation to even try and keep these whiny douchebags alive. Godalmighty…

Not a complaint as its absolutely suitable for what they’re going for. But I’m not convinced yet regardless.

I think something more humorous ala Tucker and Dale Vs Evil would have been the way to go. But we’ll see…I’ll keep an eye on it.

I hope they are not kidding about having multiple really different endings. The premise of the game is great for that and the game should be about multiple playthroughs to achieve a real ending,

Next year has so much good stuff lined up for PlayStation 4. I can’t wait to play Until Dawn, and I love it how most of the characters just makes me want to kill them on purpose rather than trying to save them.

I hope they are not kidding about having multiple really different endings. The premise of the game is great for that and the game should be about multiple playthroughs to achieve a real ending,

8 characters, all dying, all living, 7 living, 6 living and so on.
Then out of 7 which of the 7 are living and so on.

Possibilities really are 100+.

Here is my take at stats,

1+1+7x7+6x6+5x5+4x4+3x3+2x2+1x1

Then it could be all living as well as killer lived , if the killer ain’t in 8.

Um, no. Each character could live or die, in every combination. So, 256 (2^8) endings.

Thanks for correcting.
That would be overkill.

I can’t see that being true personally. Seems like a huge amount of work that will probably never get seen.

     

Recently completed: Game of Thrones (decent), Tales from the borderlands (great!), Life is Strange (great!), Stasis (good), Annas Quest (great!); Broken Age (poor)
