Given the generally the final nature of the game - there are only so many possible destinies for characters and endings of the game - it can feel like "until dawn" the game is not too vague. However, when one thinks about the narrative and experience of the game in a meta context, it is all uncertainty; Most people will not get the same experience while playing. Sandberg and the way writers translate that ambiguity of the film is to leave much of the backstew vague, especially about D -Hill. Although it has been revealed why he is on these dirty works, it has never been explained how he gained dominance over time and space himself, let alone a variety of evil beings. It is possible that he will not achieve this power at all and to use only supernatural circumstances around him to his goals.

Added to this mystery about the character is setting up the film, which seems to be the same Blackwood mountain area where the game takes place. Both the film and the game include backstew where the nearby mine has suffered a cave that have cursed the city and its surroundings since. Almost the end of the movie, at the Hill Bureau, can be seen several files with patients, one of which seems to be Oshosh, and the other could be Sam (played by Hayden Panettier in the game). Does this mean that the events of the game have already happened, or that they have yet to do so? The last scene of the film shows Hill's Nab Monitors, which is transferred from the locations seen in the movie in a snowy mountain, while the car is pulling in front of it. This could mean that the events of the game are now happening, but it may also mean that a new package of victims arrives at the same location where the game happened.

Well, is the film "up to the dawn" as a foretelling of the game, a sequel or not? All we know is that, as far as directors are concerned, they hope that the continuity of the film, the game and all future installments from any medium will be interconnected. As Douberman told me during my recent interview with him:

"I hope there is a new game that is part of the story. Again, my ideal scenario is that there is a game, a movie, a game, a movie or a TV (series), whatever it is. But I really really build it in all the different types of media, I think it's what is exciting (...), I really like the idea of ​​just one.

Only time will say whether we get more dawn on movie screens, game consoles, or both, but if we do it, and if this intention continues for the series, we could be in unique multimedia treatment.

"To Dawn" is now in cinemas.
