Until Dusk

Until Dusk is an interactive survival horror game developed by Supermassive Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the Playstation 4. It is stand alone sequel to Until Dawn.

Gameplay
Until Dusk continues the Butterfly Effect of Until Dawn.

The player can end with all eight characters dead, all of them alive or anything in-between.

Plot
Five friends, Lori, Chad, his girlfriend Julie Miller, Jenny and Lori's brother Andy, are gathered round at the Crystal Woods lodge, owned by Julie's family, for their annual summer getaway. Leaving, the friends accidentally run a man over. Since Chad, who was driving, was a little drunk, he pressures the others into hiding the body.

The game then cuts to a session with Dr Hill.

A year later, Lori, Chad, Julie, Jenny and Andy return to the Crystal Woods lodge along with Julie's new boyfriend Billy Hill, Chad's new girlfriend Melissa and Chad's new friend Ben. Jenny will see Chad cheating on Melissa with Julie and has the option of telling Melissa about it.

The Dr Hill session involves what the player is afraid of. The answers will determine some of the things the killer will use.

If Melissa saw Chad with Julie, she can confront Julie about it. Chad can also get into a fight with Billy. Ben will break up the fight by getting Chad and Melissa to go into the basement to power up the generator. A newspaper found in the basement reveals the man they ran over was called Quentin Hill. Melissa falls through a hole in the basement, leading to a cave that Chad follows her down. Chad hears Melissa scream and runs after her.

Since Chad and Melissa still haven't powered up the generators, Lori and Ben go down the basement to do it. The hole Melissa fell through is covered up. Lori and Ben get the generators running before being chased by a masked man who turns out to be Andy playing a prank. Andy tells them that he found a Book of the Dead.

We then have another session with Dr Hill where he asks questions of how the player values honesty, charity, humour, courage, love and knowledge.

While Lori goes into town, Ben, Andy and Jenny read from the Book of the Dead until they hear an animal sound. Chad finds Melissa but it turns out her screams were just a prank played on him. Chad and Melissa find the hole they went through has been covered up. They find an alternate route out the cave, leading into the woods where they encounter a bear. Chad can either scare the bear away or run from it with Melissa. They find a ruined shed. Later, they find the bear wounded. Chad has the option of mercy killing it before a reptile arm drags the bear away. The unseen creature chases Chad and Melissa into a cabin. Depending on Chad's relationship with Melissa and whether or not Melissa saw Chad with Julie, Melissa will either be fully dressed, in her shirt and jeans, in her underwear or will get naked. Something drags Chad out the cabin.

Andy and Jenny go outside the cabin and investigate the sound they heard. They share their theories on what is happening before hearing Billy scream. Andy and Jenny follow the sound until they find a man wearing a man (either a scarecrow or zombie mask, depending on how the player answered the second session with Dr Hill). The killer knocks out Andy and Jenny.

The Dr Hill session involves which characters the player likes and dislikes.

Melissa grabs a sawed off shotgun and chases after the creature that has taken Chad. Depending on what paths Melissa takes and your QTEs, Chad will be either found dead or alive inside a cave. Melissa (and Chad if he's alive) see a man and chase after him to his lair.

Andy wakes up to find Jenny has been kidnapped. Andy reaches a farmhouse. He has the option of going round the back and switching the generator off. Inside the farmhouse, Andy finds Billy and Jenny inside a trap. A voice tells Andy he has to choose switch one dies. Depending on who Andy chooses to save, either Billy or Jenny will have their rib cage worn open. If Andy had switched the farmhouse generator off before coming in, the trap fails to work, allowing Andy to save both of them.

We then have another session with Dr Hill.

Melissa (and Chad if he's alive) get into the lair when Melissa will find some clothes if she had undressed. There is also a chainsaw. Melissa sees a shadow of the creature. Melissa and Chad flee from the creature and run into a room full of bear traps. They go through the bear traps. If Melissa gets her foot caught in a bear trap, she can uses the chainsaw to either cut off her foot or cut open the bear trap (which will damage the chainsaw beyond use). Alternatively, Melissa can use her sawed off shotgun to open the trap. If Chad is alive and Melissa made it through the bear traps, Melissa has to catch Chad before he gets caught in a bear trap. If Chad is caught, Melissa can confront him about his affair with Julie (he claims that he was only trying to get Julie to stop flirting with him), leave him (which results in Chad's death) or help him by either cutting his foot off with the chainsaw, using the chainsaw to cut through the bear trap (at the cost of the chainsaw) or shooting the bear trap. If they make it through the bear traps, Melissa and/or Chad are then chased by a dog. During a second encounter with the dog, Melissa/Chad can either shoot it or give it some food. Giving the dog food will result in the dog biting Melissa/Chad's hand, costing whichever one it was a few fingers and forcing them to kill the dog anyway. Melissa can use a lock pick to get through the door. If only Chad is there, he'll shoot the lock off.

Andy and Billy/Jenny/Billy and Jenny return to the lodge and tell Ben and Julie what happened in the farmhouse. Julie tries to call for help but gets no answer from her phone. Ben suggests using a nearby radio tower. Billy (if alive), Ben and Julie head to the radio tower. They come across the swamp that the man that was ran over, now known as Quentin Hill, was buried in. Julie can choose whether or not to confess to Quentin's death. Hearing a noise, Ben, can choose whether to stick with Julie or head back to the lodge. Julie (and Billy and Ben if they are still with her) come across several bears.

Lori returns to the lodge. She finds a note from Andy, explaining the situation and saying that he (and Jenny if she's alive) has gone to look for Julie and Ben as they are taking a long time. Beneath Andy's writing is another message written in blood, telling Lori to go to the home theatre. The film shows either Billy or Jenny being killed by the earlier trap. If Andy was able to save both of them, the snuff film is skipped. The killer chases Lori. Lori can either escape the killer or be caught by him.

We have another session with Dr Hill.

Julie can choose to either scare off the bears or run from them. If Billy is alive, he'll scare off the bears. Julie (and Billy and Ben if they are still with you) reach the radio tower and get inside. There is a flare gun in the radio tower. Julie can keep it or give it to Billy or Ben. When Julie gets the radio working, the tower is set on fire. Julie can accuse Billy of being involved in the killings, on the basis of his brother's death, and threaten him with the flare gun. If Julie shoots Billy with the flare gun, the explosion will kill Julie as well. If Ben is still with Julie, he'll reason that they don't have time. If Billy was given the flare gun and knows of Julie's involvement in Quentin's death, he will threaten Julie wight he flare gun. Depending on their relationship, Julie can talk him down, otherwise Billy shoots Julie, unwittingly causing an explosion that kills himself and Ben as well. Regardless, Julie has to jump out the tower to the branches, along with Billy and Ben. If Ben is still with them, he'll fall off his branch and be attacked by the monster. Julie can use her flare gun to save Ben. If Ben was given the flare gun, he will be killed due to not being able to get it out in time. If Billy was given the flare gun, he'll save Ben, allowing him to run away.

Seeing the flames of the radio tower, Andy (and Jenny if she is still alive) assumes Julie, Billy and Ben are dead and goes back to the lodge to warn Lori. Noticing Lori's car but no sign of Lori, Andy searches for her. He goes into the basement. The basement contains either a gun or knife, depending on how the player answered Dr Hill's session. Andy can give the gun or knife to Jenny or keep it. Andy notices the hole that had been covered up after Melissa fell down it and goes inside. Going along the caves, Andy reaches a cabin that is the killer's lair. Searching through the lair, Andy finds Lori if the killer caught her. The killer knocks Andy out. If Andy gave Jenny the gun or knife, she was attack the killer. The killer also knocks her out. If Jenny had attacked the killer, she and Andy wake up in separate furnaces. The killer forces Jenny to choose between burning herself to death or burning Andy to death. If Jenny did not attack the killer, the trap does not happen.

We then have another session with Dr Hill.

If Lori had escaped the killer, she reaches a secret room belonging to the killer. Lori runs into Melissa and/or Chad if they survived. Together they break into the room that the killer is keeping Andy and Jenny (if she's alive) prisoner in. If Lori was captured then she is held prisoner with Andy/Jenny/Andy and Jenny as the killer reveals his identity. The killer is revealed to be Quentin Hill, who had survived being run over.

Julie (and Billy if he's alive) continues through the woods until running into a police officer. The man that Melissa chased shows up (with Ben if he's alive) and points a gun at the police officer while shushing Julie. Julie can warn the police officer or stay while, resulting in the police officer being shot. If Julie the police officer, he starts to turn into a monster like the one that dragged Chad.

Quentin Hill mutates into a monster like the police officer and tries to kill Lori (as well as Andy and Jenny if they're alive). If Melissa or Chad are alive, they come in and attack Quentin with a flamethrower, forcing him to flee. If not, Lori has to cause the fire herself.

If Julie allowed the man from the lair to kill the cop, he reveals himself to be William Campbell before fighting off more creatures while Julie (and Billy and Ben if they're alive) flee. If the police officer mutated, he kills Campbell and chases Julie (and Billy and Ben if they're alive). If Julie avoids dying, she makes it to the lodge (possibly bitten depending on how well the player did) where Lori and the other survivors are held up. If Campbell is alive, he comes into the lodge and tells them that the creatures are Chupacabra. If Billy is alive, he refuses to accept Quentin is a Chupacabra and goes to look for him. If Andy is alive, he'll go look with Campbell. Andy and Campbell are attacked by Chupacabra and Andy has to save Campbell. Depending on whether Andy saved Campbell or not, he either returns to the lodge with him or on his own. If Julie was bitten, Melissa or Chad wants to shoot her, believing she'll turn. Campbell will confirm that a bite will turn her. If Julie is not killed, she'll turn into a Chupacabra, chasing the group out the lodge.

We then have another session with Dr Hill.
