'Until Dawn' headlines this month's horrific PS Now additions
'SOMA' and 'The Vanishing of Ethan Carter' are on tap, too.
Two years later and Sony finally got the timing right for PlayStation 4's choose-your-own-horror adventure Until Dawn. The Hayden-Panettiere-starring interactive movie is perfect for Halloween frights, and if you're a PlayStation Now subscriber, you can play it, well, now. It isn't the only fright fest being added to the service, either. Frictional Games' sub-aquatic tale of terror, SOMA, is on offer as well as the macabre mystery The Vanishing of Ethan Carter. Don't feel like getting scared? There's always David Cage's Beyond: Two Souls and, umm, Agatha Christie: The ABC Murders.
Until Dawn, like many of the indie-horror movies it takes for inspiration, isn't perfect. The cinematic camera angles can make navigating some scenes tricky and there's some backtracking in the last act. But if you're hosting a pumpkin carving party at your place, once everyone cleans the seeds and guts from their fingers it's your best bet for some festive controller-passing fun. The PS Blog post is for Europe, but these things tend to make their way to the US service as well, it just takes a few days.
