Until Dawn cemented itself as one of the scariest horror games when it came out back in 2015. Its choice-based gameplay gave players the power to dictate the characters' fates in the game, which, a lot of times, ended in brutal deaths. This differentiated Until Dawn from other horror games at the time, as it gave players an immersive cinematic experience. It also helped that the game featured well-known actors, like Hayden Panettiere and Rami Malek.
