 Throughout the gameplay , players alternate between eight characters , they are required to make critical decisions as their choices affect the outcome of the game . Until Dawn is a game that involves plot twist , jumpscares and also gores . I was fascinated by this game as they used Wendigos to make the story more exciting . At some point of the gameplay , it is revealed that the one attacking the gang is not the psychopath but a bunches of wendigos . According to the website , Wendigos in the game were humans who have been changed by a Native American spirit into cannibalistic monsters after eating the flesh of other humans because of starvation.

     What impressed me even more is details of the arts , from the characters' body movement to their facial expressions , actual voice actors and voice actresses were recorded in order to create realistic reactions of the characters and thus it made the characters to be unique in Until Dawn . The colors and lighting in the game too had created the horror atmosphere that made the game looks even more horrifying . This is the video of  behind scenes of

      Besides , the music composed by Jsson Graves too was amazing as the music was beautiful but creepy enough to creates the horror atmosphere in Until Dawn.  Here is the video of the behind scenes of how he composed the scary music and his thoughts on it . : https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EC5BWSYNJFY

In my opinion , Until Dawn is definitely an interesting game to play if you are looking for a horror game with deep plot twist and drama between people as the relationships between the characters may affect the outcome of the gameplay as well .

Ozabu

     Ozabu is an artist who draws soft and smooth drawings that are related to Japanese extracts with mechanical pencil. Ozabu's drawings are usually very light and soft. Just like Dimitra Milan, Ozabu's passion for arts was big influence by her parents. However, as a self-taught artist, Ozabu did not use any reference books nor does any research on what the other artists use to draw and such.

According to the interview, Ozabu's inspirations often come from her feelings and experiences, and she experienced death of someone important in her life. Therefore, her drawings included some funeral elements as they are gre...
