A viral ghost-hunting crew. An island nobody's supposed to visit. A story where every choice you make decides who's still breathing by sunrise.

📖 The Story
Until Dawn 2 is a standalone sequel with a brand-new cast — you don't need to have played the original to jump in. This time you follow Dead True, the crew behind a wildly popular paranormal-investigation channel who've built their whole audience on staged scares and fake hauntings. When an investigation at the abandoned Blackwood Sanitorium takes an unexpectedly real turn, an encounter with a mysterious supernatural survivor named Yoona pulls the crew toward Akishima Island — a remote tropical paradise abandoned for decades, hiding secrets no camera crew is prepared for. The signature Butterfly Effect system returns in full force: every decision, every relationship, every small interaction can be the difference between a member of the crew making it to the credits or not.
