Story Games - Blog Posts

The Until Dawn movie had the perfect opportunity to set the series up for a second game and it’s annoying they missed it considering they are obviously trying to set a sequel up. in the Until Dawn remaster, two new character endings were added; saving josh from the handigo and the new sam scene where we see the whole “cut on arm” cliffhanger. these scenes were most definitely added to hint at a sequel, (not to mention the alleged project heartbreak that is apparently Until Dawn 2) but a sequel is difficult to make when you have a story that can end in hundreds of ways. the Until Dawn movie could’ve set up a sequel perfectly by keeping all the same characters, same plot and making a canon ending to the first game in the movie, killing off characters and making a perfect opportunity for a second game to begin.

i’m not even kidding i could make a 5 hour long video essay on how story-butterfly affect-choice games are literally just an illusion of choice, because you can make all the wrong choices and still end up at the same spot at the end (sorry life is strange.. this is a direct attack) and when they do give you more freedom they will basically force you the whole game to do the “correct” storyline. for example detroit become human: literally if you play the violent, machine route they try to force you back onto the deviant, pacifist route. obviously i understand that there is limitations when it comes to games, especially multiple route games, but it’s so disappointing to play a choice game and have practically no choice.
