Supermassive’s dark anthology series suggests a new dawn
Not all horror stories involve stupid college students, marauding spirits and fountains of gore. Some horror stories are real. Okay, ‘horror’ might be too dramatic a word, but there’s no denying that Supermassive Games has had a rough old time of things lately. The success of choice-based schlock-horror drama Until Dawn thrust the studio firmly into the limelight back in 2015; its activity since then suggests it wasn’t entirely prepared for it. Moving to a multiproject model and continued prioritisation of high-fidelity visuals above all has proved quietly disastrous for Supermassive, with tightly squeezed teams and shorter development cycles producing some experimental but poor-quality work.
