House of Ashes is really good. sorry but i think this game is great. I have played this game 4 times now and seen new scenes every time depending on my choices i made and who survived. so i definitely think this game is a winner for Supermassive games.i never played Until Dawn but i would guess if it was a playstation game it had a huge Sony budget behind it. so that might make a huge difference. I loved Man of Medan. the only game of the 3 i did not like much was Little Hope.

Until dawn was definitely peak, but I think they have also had a higher budget due to being a sony exclusive. This one was definitely the second best so far though.

For me it's the opposite, after the peak that was until dawn, these 3 games are getting better and better. I am actually quite hopeful for the 4th entry in the series.

I disagree with you. It's an excellent game. I enjoy it a lot and I hope to see soon the fourth installment of The Dark Pictures Anthology soon (in 2022 I believe).

I've played the other games but I refused to buy this one because I really hate the "it was all a hallucination" b.s. this series has pulled twice in a row.

Well, this time the danger is no imagination

While the 1st one was good and resonable

They didn't pull it a third time.

Until Dawn and these games are awesome. The negative is the short gameplay length in this trilogy

I think in terms of being a product, as well as being a narrative, Until Dawn generally wins, but that's only due to the fact that it has much more room to breathe as a narrative, and does a really good job of making almost everything you do feel meaningful, something that I feel Man of Medan and Little Hope largely failed on in terms of its characters and plot, despite overall enjoying them both as stories, though the characters can be somewhat forgettable.

I'll say it straight up though, House of Ashes is the best of the three games by a landslide just due to the way it handles its characters, and also has either the most memorable, or close to the most memorable pair of characters in any of their titles, Until Dawn included. Overall I found the ultimate villains of Until Dawn to be more interesting then what House of Ashes has, but not by an overwhelming amount, and god if Salim isn't the single greatest character I think they've made yet, not to mention that they actually managed to turn around a character I somewhat disliked at the start in Jason, and really have him turn around and become a favorite by the end of it, which is something all the more commendable when you consider just how short this games run time is compared to the likes of Until Dawn, giving it even more credit where its due really. While I do think it somewhat lacked in horror, at least subjectively for myself as I'm usually more spooked by the paranormal as opposed to monsters and the like, the somewhat more action/monster horror vibe they have here works well for the plot, and the ending is MILES better than both Medan and Little Hope, and I didn't particularly hate either of those games endings, they just felt somewhat lacking compared to the more Until Dawn style interviews you have here.

All in all, I'd love to get Until Dawn on PC, and its still a fantastic game all around, but House of Ashes has places where it stands out especially for the price tag. Its just too bad that we aren't going to be getting any longer games from the studio for the next 6 years possibly longer at the current rate, since they are making a season 2 of the anthology, though the next one coming up does seem interesting as I've always been a fan of SAW and mystery horrors akin to them. Won't be too shocked to see it having perhaps some of the most gruesome bits yet either considering the vibe it seems to be going for, and the inspirations its taking after.

I've played each game, in order of release. Until Dawn was a masterpiece at the time and made me fall in love with the Choose your Adventure genre. Man of Medan was okay, and Little Hope made me go through the ropes but left me feeling like the series was falling apart. However, this game brought me back. I do not know if its the idea that supernatural creatures exist, or that there's an overarching theme that all the events are connected. What I do know is that the idea that season one comes to a close with the next game and that there is potential to create a plot that extends to the whole series makes me want to continue coming back and discovering the story that the developers have been working their butts off to tell. Congrats to the team, I look forward to being wowed by your future games as well.
