How Long Does Until Dawn Take to Beat?
Until Dawn was first released in 2015 as Supermassive’s first primarily narrative experience and one of their biggest hits. Now, with the 2024 remake release on PC and PS5, it’s natural to wonder how long it’s going to take to complete. Because it’s a narrative-driven experience, it’s not a super long game, but expect to spend some more time playing if you’re looking to do a 100% run and get all of the achievements.
This game is all about choices, which means that you can spend more time than you initially intended trying to decide what you need to do in a given situation. Add that on to finding all clues and collectibles, Until Dawn turns into a pretty full experience with a lengthy set of chapters that can look different every time you play.
How Long Does Until Dawn Take to Beat?
Until Dawntakes roughly 8 hours to complete if you solely focus on the main story. However, if you take some time to explore each chapter and look for every clue, you can expect to sink up to 10 hours into the game.
Most of the clues you find are for flavor and trying to understand the mystery in Until Dawn, but some of them can completely change the end characters meet. As a result, many players tend to look for everything they can find to make sure that their friends live or die. Some of the clues can also be tricky to find, which means that the game could get longer depending on how quickly you’re able to solve the mystery.
Getting All Achievements
On the other hand, if you’re looking to get all achievements and 100% the game, you could be looking at a playtime closer to 19 hours. This is mainly because some achievements can’t be attained if you make certain choices, warranting an entirely new playthrough to get different endings.
That alone will take about 16 hours, but there are other achievements that also require you to find all clues and collectibles, which can take some time in each chapter. Even if you have played the game before, Ballistic Moon confirmed that the existing collectibles have been relocated and there will be new ones to find, offering a new experience for players who have already beaten the game.
Until Dawn Chapter List
There are 10 main chapters in Until Dawn, not including the Prologue and Intermissions. Each chapter can also have a different name depending on the choices you made leading up to it:
- Prologue
