The survival horror classics of yesteryear are always fun to contemplate, and their importance cannot be understated as you can still clearly still see their influence shaping modern horror games today. That said, that influence and that inspiration led to many fantastic horror video games in the modern era as well. Games that stand on their own and carve out new paths for future games to continue to iterate upon. Many of which could arguably be considered as modern equivalents of Resident Evil, Silent Hill and the like, just for a different era.

One such game is the delightful Until Dawn, a game that, on paper, might not sound all that original or compelling, but as an actual finished product, ending up ensnaring it’s players in a twisted tale of bloodshed, betrayal, and bodycount. Despite it being from a fairly small studio, locked on only one console, and obscured by seemingly nonexistent marketing back in 2015, Until Dawn quickly became a cult hit and would slowly creep into the hallways of mainstream horror classics over time as more and more people got their hands on it.

PS Plus subscribers who missed out on it early on would eventually get a chance to play it as part of the monthly free games that PS4 offers later on, and from that point it has widely been regarded as a horror classic if not a masterpiece.
