"Until Dawn was once meant to be a PlayStation Move game for PS3, before it was later reinvented and repurposed for PS4. A game that Sony didn't seem to have much faith in went on to become something of a modern horror game classic, and has paved the way for most of Supermassive's work since then. These days, the studio has gone multiplatform, creating many more games in the cinematic vein of Until Dawn, most of which fall under The Dark Pictures Anthology series."
"I'll note, however, that I find Supermassive's games to be like a Final Destination entry: Even the "worst" ones are still a good time. Thanks to these games reliably offering co-op--though they do so in different ways at times--they make great party games that don't demand much video game experience from players. They also tackle a diverse range of horror subgenres, from witches and wendigos to serial killers and ghost ships."
Until Dawn began as a planned PlayStation Move title for PS3 before being reinvented for PS4 a decade ago. Initial publisher skepticism gave way to critical and cultural success, and the game established a cinematic horror template for Supermassive. The studio expanded to multiplatform development and produced multiple titles in the same vein, notably The Dark Pictures Anthology. The games frequently include cooperative modes with varied implementations, perform well as accessible party experiences, and explore a wide range of horror subgenres such as witches, wendigos, serial killers, and ghost-ship narratives.
