Until Dawn (2015)

There's a lot to talk about this week as we inspect Supermassive's wild horror adventure, Until Dawn. This game is fun and only mildly quick-time-event-driven, but we come away feeling a lot more positive than you'd expect if you'd listened to our (admittedly early) Heavy Rain spoilercast. We also feature some lovely excerpts of a lengthy edition of Will's Gripes(tm), this time about character animations and use of the word 'garbage', was it?

All that about the actual content of the episode is a bit of a moot point though, because we have a new crew member as of this episode, dear Pauly! He's kind of the best.
