High School Life vs Until Dawn
High School Life
High School Life is an interactive story game that might be a bit simplistic. Instead of having a deep and well-hashed-out story, the most you'll be doing in this game is dressing up to meet and flirt with boys, and hopefully, you'll get a date to the school dance, be it Homecoming, Sadie Hawkins, Winter Formal, Valentine’s Day or the actual Prom. You don't get to spend a lot of time in the actual high school setting though, despite being a game titled as "High School Life".The characters in the game aren't very well-designed either. The boys in the game seem to look especially flat-faced and honestly, a bit on the ugly side of things. The "texting a friend" feature is pretty interesting but it would have been nice to have some sort of interaction with your BFF at school, where again, being a high-schooler, you should be spending most of your time at.
High School Life is a pretty shallow version of an interactive story game and hence, is a poor alternative to games like Episodes or Choices, but it might still be enjoyable for some players who like something simple.
Until Dawn
Until Dawn is a story-rich and an intense horror-thriller game where you play as one of eight friends who are trapped in a remote mountain retreat and apparently, they are not alone. With fear gnawing at the edges of their very sanity, they will need to last the night until dawn (and salvation) arrives. Being story-driven, the game provides you with many dialogue choices to choose from, each of which has its own consequences and outcomes. Sometimes, that very outcome may mean life or death for a character. Not to mention, the game is complete with realistic graphics and an atmospheric (and perfectly creepy) music and sound effects that will keep you glued to the screen as you follow the storyline.Until Dawn is definitely not the sort of game for the weak-hearted. The horror element in the game can be pretty intense at times, but the storytelling from its pacing to the clincher is simply superb although, personally, I'm not a huge fan of scary stories. Until Dawn is available on Playstation consoles.
