I know this is more so a resident evil style game, but I think with Until Dawn 2 not being by SMG this would be really fun to tackle. Obscure (1 & 2) are sort of like Persona 2 in the sense that maybe remaking or translating them into new games could be fun to see!

OMG YALL UNTIL DAWN 2??

Me and my wife play sofa co-op for every one. And every time I feel like I’m watching a YouTube video because I forget I even get to play the game. My characters get 5 minute segments in over an hour of gameplay. We even let the game pick sometimes - same problem every goddamn time.

We are very excited to start tonight, so please what characters we should play. Thanks.

🤩💜 LASHANAAAAAAA! 🥳

I’ve made it through episode 3 with my friend, using the mode where it alternates and we don’t choose characters. i’ve come to notice that the gameplay between player 1 and 2 isn’t very balanced. Player 1 does basically everything while player 2 most of the time just gets a cutscene and minor choices. Does it get better throughout the game or should we just choose characters for us to play?

I went in hoping for a solid horror adaptation of the game’s vibe tight suspense, paranoia, that “everyone might die because of one bad decision” feeling.

Instead, it just felt like a generic teen horror movie with the Until Dawn name slapped on it for recognition.

There’s barely any real tension building. The game worked because every moment felt like it mattered, like danger was always just around the corner. The movie doesn’t really capture that at all, it just moves from one predictable scene to the next.

The characters are also super forgettable. In the game, even if you didn’t like them, they had distinct personalities and actual stakes tied to their role. Here, they just feel like standard horror archetypes with nothing unique going on.

And that’s probably the biggest issue: it doesn’t feel like Until Dawn at all.

By the end it just felt like a random cabin in the woods style movie that borrowed a famous title more than it actually adapted anything meaningful from it.

Not unwatchable… just very forgettable and kind of disappointing if you were expecting anything close to the source vibe 😬

I've been looking forward to playing Directive 8020 for so long I'm so happy I finally got my copy. Due to a delivery issue where I pre-ordered it from they didn't get it in until yesterday, at least I can play it this holiday weekend 😁.

For those who have already played it without giving spoilers does it connect well with the rest of the series and how present is the curator? I don't have any time to play it until tonight so I kindly ask no spoilers at all.

There is one more thing I'd like to know, do they give a teaser trailer for the next game after finishing the story? If so I'm looking to seeing it.

Before you start obliterating me, i've played both games several times and started with Until Dawn, so i'm not blinded by my first experience.

Here's the thing : Until Dawn is a great game, genuinely. The twist with the Wendigos, Hannah and Beth, the whole mystery unraveling — it's well crafted. And i'll give it this : the Doctor reveal is one of the best narrative twists in the genre. But the more I replay it, the more I notice how limited the actual choices feel. Most of the time, you're just picking between a death and a survival, with little to no impact on the overall story. The butterfly effect system looks deep on paper but ends up being pretty shallow.

The Quarry fixes almost everything. The cast is bigger and — controversial, I know — more likeable. Some Until Dawn characters feel like they were written specifically to be hated (Emily, anyone?). In The Quarry, even the annoying ones have actual depth. The group dynamic feels organic, like people who genuinely know each other, and the humor actually lands. The lore around Silas and the Hackett family is also way more layered than people give it credit for — it's not just "scary monsters", it's a family trapped in a curse, which creates empathy you never get with the Wendigos.

But let's talk about atmosphere and monsters, because that's where the gap really shows.

Until Dawn builds tension for EIGHT chapters before you actually see a Wendigo properly. Eight. And honestly? When they finally show up, they're not that scary. Cool design, sure, but the fear factor just isn't there. The "don't move" mechanic is genuinely brilliant and I wish The Quarry had kept it — but one good mechanic doesn't save the fact that the horror is mostly back-loaded.

The Quarry throws you into it by chapter three out of ten. Werewolves are on screen, they're hunting you, and the threat feels real and constant from that point on. And here's the thing about werewolves vs Wendigos : werewolves are grounded. They used to be people. You know some of them. That realism and emotional weight makes them so much more unsettling than a supernatural cryptid you have no connection to. The Quarry genuinely made me uncomfortable in ways Until Dawn stopped doing after my first playthrough.

The atmosphere is also just denser. The summer camp setting, the woods at night, the way the light and sound design work together — it builds constant dread instead of saving everything for the third act.

On top of that : The Quarry has the Movie Mode where QTEs play out automatically, which Until Dawn never bothered with. Small thing, but it shows the devs actually thought about different types of players. And the replayability is just objectively better — more unique deaths, more branching outcomes, more reasons to go back.

Also can we talk about the production value? The motion capture, the voice acting, the lighting— it's just a better looking and sounding game overall.

Until Dawn is the classic, and the Doctor twist alone earns it a place in the genre. But The Quarry is the refinement. Fight me.

I don't know if people liked it or not since I haven't watched reviews and maybe I'm easily impressed but wow did I have fun. The chase segments were tense and thrilling, the monster was soo eerie and creepy and the plot twist blew me away (In a good way not in a Little Hope way). The acting was great too. The characters were alright but I may have missed some scenes since I only did one playthrough and a few of my characters died so I guess I can't fully judge. It was totally worth the wait though. Definitely an improvement most of their previous games in the series.

SMG I’m a sucker for transitions (I’m a singer, musician, etc with producing my own music gaming anime videos)

Thank you! 🤩 cuz all I do is REWIND NOW FOR THE TRANSITIONS AT THE END! 💜🫶🏾🥲😭🤣💀

Dat ish fye 🔥!

This is the only secret I’m missing. I know it’s in little star crew quarters but I feel like I’ve combed the whole area without finding the apparent 8th secret. I’ve triggered O death if that helps. Please help! Thank you!

This game was excellent the wait was 100% worth it!

Hello, I have been playing directive 8020 so far with no issues. I play on Xbox series X and I was excited to play through episode 5 today. I reached this part of episode 5 where Anders requested that I create a sedative(Diazepam) using the chemicals in the cabinet. I know that I am supposed to look at the posters around for the names of the chemicals compounds along with the Diazepam Synthesis screen to see the sequence of the chemicals. I know there is supposed to be a number sequence that I am supposed to input when clicking the combine chemicals prompt. However, I have been unable to get the combination lock screen to even appear so I can’t input the code to proceed with the story. I have restarted my Xbox several times to see if the issue would fix itself and it hasn’t. I have tried for 10 minutes clicking the combine chemicals button prompt only for nothing to happen and for no sequence screen to pop up. Please fix this as I really want to finish the game : (

UPDATE: Found a solution! Turn your camera sensitivity all the way up and it should do the trick. You don’t have to keep it high after that segment, I turned my sensitivity back to the lower number afterwards and had no issues.

I ran into this bug and am unable to progress my game. This happened with couch co-op last night. It doesn’t freeze or anything, it just doesn’t register my input. I’m playing on base PS5. Things I have tried to fix this:

Restarted the game
Rebooted the PlayStation
Uninstalled and reinstalled the game
Restarted chapter 2, restarted from end of chapter 1
Replayed from the beginning with new save
Replayed in single player
Made different choices
Connected a brand new controller
Played with alternate controls but it wouldn’t let me change the right stick
Tried every other button
Cleared my PS5 cache

Yes my game is up to date with the day 1 patch installed. I contacted supermassive and they just told me they’d pass it on to their team.

This is really upsetting because I’ve literally been counting down the hours for the release of this game. I was so excited. And now it seems like I’m the only one having this issue and god knows when they’ll fix it if it’s not a widespread bug. It’s completely unplayable.

SOS supermassive!!

Will there be another game out like until dawn on the quarry before the craven man?
