Game
You play as a group of teenagers who get stuck at a campsite the day after the summer season ends and are forced to spend the night. Little do you know that something dark and deadly will emerge from the shadows that night.
From the creators of Until Dawn comes a game that continues with the exact same formula, where you as a player get to influence how a feature film unfolds. A game with a tremendous amount of dialogue, story, and relatively little gameplay. Your primary mission is to make crucial decisions in tense situations. Should your character fight or run from the monster? Hide from the bypassers or call for help? If you play your cards right, everyone in your party can survive, but if you make mistakes, every member could also die.
The game also includes moments where you have to look for clues, but the strength clearly lies in the dialogue and plot.
The graphics are really good. Dialogue and acting are of a high standard. And Supermassive shows that the wait has been worth it. However, this isn't for everyone as players might feel passive and as if they're just watching cutscenes non-stop. But for those of us who enjoy this type of game, it's a masterpiece.
Co-op
Couch co-op using a single console: Each player is assigned a specific in-game character, and you pass the controller to the respective player when it's that character's turn to make a decision. It's a cozy gameplay experience that encourages interesting interactions between players. However, there's also a significant amount of downtime. It feels more like watching an extended movie together with an added interactive element.
Online co-op "Wolf Pack": Up to eight players can participate online, but each player requires their own console and a copy of the game. Furthermore, all participants must use the same type of console. The host drives the gameplay, but when a critical decision arises, all players get to vote on the action to take. The option with the majority vote is selected. This game mode is fantastic for friends who are far apart, but it can also be quite costly. Especially if you buy the game only to be able to vote in friends game sessions.
