Until Dawn is available at Mascom International for KSh 3,800, sold as a brand new and sealed PS4 physical disc of the original 2015 release. Developed by Supermassive Games and published by Sony Computer Entertainment, Until Dawn reached PS4 in late August 2015. Until Dawn is a survival horror and interactive drama in which eight young friends must survive a night on Blackwood Mountain. Every choice you make can change who survives, deaths are permanent, and the game saves each decision the moment you make it. Find it at Old Mutual Building, Kimathi Street, Nairobi CBD, or order it for delivery to your door.
Built for horror fans and friends who enjoy a game night across Kenya, Until Dawn plays like an interactive film you steer with the controller. Most PS4 titles demand quick reflexes and hours of practice, which leaves non-gamers in the room watching from the sofa. Until Dawn fixes that, because the controls are simple and the real challenge is choosing well under pressure. Groups pass the controller around on a Friday night in Kilimani, couples play it as a scary movie they control, and students in Nairobi University and Moi hostels gather round one screen to argue over every decision.
Where most Nairobi electronics shops push the newer remake or sell unboxed copies of uncertain history, Mascom International stocks the original Until Dawn for PS4, factory sealed. Customers across Nairobi tell us they want this exact 2015 version, with its fixed camera angles and original soundtrack, for the PS4 they already own. Until Dawn also plays on a PS5 with a disc drive. Stop by our Kimathi Street store, pay with M-Pesa, or message us on WhatsApp for pay-on-arrival delivery anywhere in Kenya.
Common Questions About Until Dawn
How much is Until Dawn PS4 in Kenya?
Until Dawn for PS4 costs KSh 3,800 at Mascom International in Nairobi CBD, as an unopened copy of the original 2015 release. The price covers the full game, a 6-month disc warranty and pay-on-arrival delivery to any county. Our sealed copy of The Last of Us Remastered is KSh 400 cheaper at KSh 3,400. Many buyers take both for KSh 7,200 to cover a horror night and a longer story campaign in one order.
What is the difference between Until Dawn on PS4 and the 2024 remake?
The original Until Dawn on PS4 came out in August 2015, made by Supermassive Games on Guerrilla Games' Decima engine. The 2024 remake is a separate PS5 and PC release by Ballistic Moon, built in Unreal Engine 5. It uses an over-the-shoulder camera and a new musical score. The remake cannot run on a PS4, so PS4 owners need this original disc. Choose the remake only if you own a PS5 and want the rebuilt visuals.
Is Until Dawn good for a group game night in Kenya?
Until Dawn suits group nights in Kenya because one player controls each scene while everyone else debates the choice. Friends often assign characters and pass the controller whenever the story switches to someone new. No online connection is needed for the story, so the evening runs even when your Safaricom or Telkom internet drops. The game saves automatically and constantly, which also means a KPLC power cut costs only a few moments rather than the night's progress.
Who should buy Until Dawn, and who should skip it?
Until Dawn is for adults and older teens who enjoy horror films, jump scares and making hard choices under pressure. It is rated for mature audiences because of graphic violence and strong language, so keep it away from younger children. Players who want long open-world exploration or combat skill will find it too guided. If you prefer a deep story with stealth and survival gameplay, The Last of Us Remastered at KSh 3,400 suits you better.
How does the butterfly effect system in Until Dawn work?
The butterfly effect system in Until Dawn tracks your choices, from small actions to moral decisions, and reshapes the story around them. All eight characters can die, and each death is permanent for that playthrough. A strict auto-save stops you from reloading to undo a bad decision. Twenty-two critical choices branch the story toward hundreds of possible endings. Players in Eldoret and Mombasa tell us they replay it several times to save everyone, which stretches the value of one disc.
Will this Until Dawn PS4 disc work on a PS5?
Yes, this Until Dawn PS4 disc plays on a PS5 with a disc drive through backward compatibility, after a system software update. Some PS4 features may behave differently on PS5, as with most older titles. A PS5 Digital Edition needs Sony's add-on disc drive to read it. The disc runs on every PS4 model, including the original PS4, the PS4 Slim and the PS4 Pro. Customers in Westlands and Upper Hill often buy it for a PS4 today, knowing the same copy will still play if they upgrade to a disc-drive PS5 later.
Who are the actors in Until Dawn?
Until Dawn features well-known screen actors who provided motion capture and voice work for its cast of characters. The line-up includes Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere, Meaghan Martin, Brett Dalton, Jordan Fisher, Nichole Sakura and Ella Lentini. Peter Stormare plays the unsettling psychiatrist who appears between chapters, and Larry Fessenden also appears. Their performances give the game the feel of a horror film, which is a big reason it holds up as a movie night pick at Mascom International.
Does Until Dawn need any special controller or camera?
Until Dawn needs only the standard DualShock 4 controller that comes with every PS4. It was first planned for the PlayStation Move motion controllers, but that requirement was dropped before the PS4 release. One tense mechanic, the "Don't Move" prompt, asks you to hold the controller perfectly still while danger passes. That makes it fun to play on a crowded sofa, because anyone who laughs or flinches might cost a character their life.
Technical Specifications
Core Function and Gameplay
- Survival horror and interactive drama — you guide eight friends through one night, choosing their actions in scenes that play like a film.
- Eight playable characters — the story switches between them, so every person in a group can take charge of someone.
- Butterfly effect system — choices big and small change relationships, routes and survival, giving each playthrough a different shape.
- Permanent deaths — any of the eight characters can die, and nothing brings them back for the rest of that run.
- Hundreds of possible endings — twenty-two critical choices branch the story, so replaying with different decisions reveals new scenes and outcomes.
Compatibility and Console Support
- Made for PS4, PS4 Slim and PS4 Pro — the original 2015 release runs on every PS4 model sold in Kenya.
- Plays on a PS5 with a disc drive — backward compatibility works after a system update, with some PS4 features possibly differing.
- Region-free PS4 disc — PS4 games carry no region lock, so this copy runs on any console bought locally or overseas.
- Standard DualShock 4 controller — no PlayStation Move, camera or extra hardware is needed to finish the game.
- Not the 2024 remake — this is the original PS4 game, not the PS5 and PC version released in October 2024.
Story and Presentation
- Blackwood Mountain setting — a remote snowy lodge where the friends return a year after a tragedy and soon find they are not alone.
- Film-style fixed camera angles — carefully framed shots build suspense the way a horror movie does, a hallmark of this original version.
- Recognisable cast — Rami Malek, Hayden Panettiere and Peter Stormare lead performances captured through motion capture and voice work.
- Decima engine by Guerrilla Games — the same technology family later used for Horizon Zero Dawn on PS4.
- Strict auto-save — the game records every decision immediately, so there is no reloading to escape a choice you regret.
Build and Disc Format
- Blu-ray game disc — the standard PS4 format, read by the console's built-in drive and installed to internal storage.
- Factory-sealed retail case — unbroken shrink wrap proves nobody has opened, played or swapped the disc before it reaches you.
- Developed by Supermassive Games — the British studio known for choice-driven horror, which built its later horror series on this formula.
- Published by Sony Computer Entertainment — released as a PlayStation exclusive on PS4 in August 2015.
- Mature content rating — graphic violence, gore and strong language make this a game for adults and older teens only.
Inclusions and Content
- Complete game on the disc — the full story from the opening prologue to the final dawn, playable with no internet.
- Offline single-player story — one controller runs the whole game, and friends can share it by passing the controller between scenes.
- Collectible clues and totems — hidden items reveal backstory and short glimpses of possible futures, guiding later choices.
- "Don't Move" moments — holding the controller completely still keeps a character hidden, adding real tension on a crowded sofa.
- Strong replay value — saving every character, or deliberately losing them, gives a reason to return after the first ending.
Package Contents
Until Dawn arrives in its original factory-sealed PS4 retail case with the game disc inside, just as it left the publisher.
