The Evil Within vs Until Dawn
The Evil Within
The Evil Within is a dark horror game set in world full of deadly and deranged monsters, traps and horror. You are Sebastian Castellanos, a police officer sent to investigate a murder in a hospital. After hearing a high pitch noise you and your partner are sent into this strange place. From here you must survive and find your way home. As well as find the murderer and solve the crime along the way.And so begins a twisted journey full of fear, danger and a tense atmosphere. Praised for its ability to make you jump and the story within the game this is a really good, if somewhat dark tale. Using your stealth, battle and puzzle solving skills you need to return home, and discover what has happened in this twisted realm first.
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.
