Man, what ever happened to The Getaway.

So this is getting universal good scores it seems..8s and up. Iiiinteresting.. 

Will have to put it on the 'look out for a price drop' type list though with all the stuff I'm due to pick up soon mind. (MGS, TTK.. other stuff.. ) Sounds good fun to have a spooky, schlocky teen horror story'em'up. Enjoyed the Rapture recently so am getting in the mood for some of these more interactive story type things  and this sounds like a more focussed affair too.  

Folks are suggesting that this is much more a taste of what the Rift//Morpheus/Vive stuff will start with perhaps. (One of the devs mentioned they had Morpheus kit banging about during it's creation as it happens) 
As VR finds it's market more of this experiential, slow paced visual novel stuff could really turn out to be amazing imho. Getting in with a jump scare one to start might not be the best for the brown trousering prone out there mind..

Universal was a bit of  push but most folks seem to like it. The Destructoid pull quote seemed a fair summary,

"Until Dawn knows exactly what it is, and it doesn't pretend to be anything more. In that process it 
allows for some predictable plotlines, hammy acting, and lack of meaningful choices, but I'm glad 
that it exists, and every horror fan owes it to themselves to play it at some point -- especially at a price cut."

Wait for a Chalice?

The reviews have certainly raised my interest in this even more, especially as it seems to be receiving a lot of comments about how it would appeal to horror fans.

Yet it will have to wait until cheaper. Hopefully that wont be too long.

IT'S BEHIND YOOOOOOO!

Kotaku like it.

Gametrailers also gave it a good review. 
To me it looks like Heavy Rain but with actual story consequences.

It does seem slightly unusual. Perhaps it could be down to the experience of playing the entire game / story rather than sections. I read one review that said it had a fairly slow build up before there was any 'scary stuff'. I would imagine previews of those early sections wouldnt be particarly positive.

Recommended by Eurogamer. Reads like a 7.

I'm gonna get this instead of MGS5 I think, a lot of positive hype from reviews, neogaf etc.

I want both fffffffffffffff

Looks a bit Deadly Premonition to me.

Watched the first half hour on a stream, I'm fucking sold. Mr Robot is in it and it looks like cracking fun. Sod MGS5, I'm all over this when I get paid next week.

From what i've seen, this looks like my cuppa. Will definitely get this when the price drops nearer Christmas.

So plaued the prologue and opening chapter of this with the wife watching / choosing options. Firstly, it looks great and the actors / characters are very good. Peter Stormare is in absolutely fine scenery chewing form. The location is nice and creepy and whilst it is a slow start to the story, it has established the characters well and thrown in some okay jump scares.

Secondly, the gameplay is rock solid too. The choices come at you thick and fast during certai scenes and have not been easy so far. Even the more basic dialogue choices have been interesting and led to some disagreements with the wife about what to do. The QTEs have been fine and the introduction of the other gameplay elements are very well done.

But most importantly, it was really enjoyable and I cannot wait to carry on with it.

Genuine question because I've only seen trailers - how do you actually play it? Is it a Heavy Rain style thing, or is it just press button to make a decision? I'm okay with the former but not really on board with the latter.
