It feels like it hit a lifetime ago, doesn’t it? We can’t be certain as to why that’s the case, although if we were to hazard a guess it might be because Until Dawn threatened to redefine how stories could be told across interactive spaces – lessons precious few developers have embraced in the intervening years.
