Hey, this is long video essay about Until Dawn, focussing in on analysing the main characters of the core cast, and what made them work. I firmly believe that it is the characters that have given this game such longevity, as the mechanics and vibes were very standard of the time at release.

I kept things within my usual video essay on horror format here, but incorporated some other elements such as a tier list, and some speculations for the upcoming Until Dawn movie, alongside my thoughts on the Until Dawn remaster for PS5.

As always thanks for watching, feel free to leave recommendations for horror stories to cover in the comments. Take care!
