There isn’t as much action in such precisely rendered games, and so they get a bad rep as Walking Simulators.
On the scary meter, Until Dawn ranked pretty high, as the creators actually tested the game with playtesters who were hooked up to biometric monitors. If a scene didn’t scare people as much as it could have, the developers went back to the drawing board. I measured my own pulse myself during part of the game. After one “jump scare” scene, my pulse shot up from around 70 to 108 beats per minute. I had plenty of little heart attacks …
