After pulling over to help two women stranded at the side of the highway, Jack's original intention to rescue them from a long night in the rain winds up with him saving their lives. A third driver and his passenger smash into the other cars, leaving all marooned at the edge of the deep, dark Pacific Northwest forest.

This game is immediately engaging. All five main characters are well-fleshed-out, the tension steadily builds and you're treated to three narratives that I found to be pretty expertly woven together. During the hours until dawn the eclectic group works together--along with moments of deception and infighting--investigating a twenty-year-old murder, its paranormal residue, and more.

It's both cosy and unsettling. I love it. Throw in Tulpas, The Harmonic Convergence of 1987, and one of the otherworldy cave systems of the PNW/Northern Cali, some well-placed jumpscares--I am thrilled.

There are some hiccoughs in the sound, and it took a little trial and error for me to find room exits, but this did not in any way diminish my enjoyment of the game.

9 Hours to Dawn could definitely be expanded, and the unexpected ending leaves things open for a sequel (one of the endings, that is). Maybe even a series.

Five cups out of five. Totally recommend! ;-D;-D;-D;-D;-D

Great atmosphere!

Really enjoyed this game. The puzzles were pretty straight forward, but the author created a really enjoyable take on the "haunted cabin in the woods" type scenario. Huge amount of work went into the backgrounds.

Definitely worth playing!

After seeing the reaction from other players, I decided to give this game a try. I am very into horror games.

This game has a few redeeming qualities, but after the eighth jump-scare in the frame of a minute, the novelty wears off. The poor graphics, story and grammar problems really hinder the immersion. The puzzles are instantly solvable and not creative.

Play this is you need to burn an hour.

I found this game fairly bone-chilling. There are some great horror effects thrown into this (I also jumped out of my skin like stepurhan).

You should save this game for a dark, rainy, night when you have a few hours to spare :)
