Until Sunrise is the short story of Robert Hatcher, who has to save his familly from an invasion of mutated wolves and evil creatures. His wife Laura and daughter Cindy are unseed, in the house, yet can die if one of the creatures break a window and goes in.
The game is won if at least Robert makes it to 7am the next morning. The survival of both familly members affect the final score.

Concept art
As the player kills enemies, some of them have a small chance of dropping either a piece of equipment (that will make the game easier to play afterwards) or a page of Lore, which explains the story of this dystopic world. Players will be tempted to keep playing to unlock the 300 pages of text that recounts the terrible stories of Wolftown and it's surrounding area.
While the game unfolds, various random encounters (4 per game) will happen, from a possibility of 24, which also encourages the player to keep repeating the game, and discover all the possible characters they can meet.
Soundtrack
The game is played in 4 phases of 3 minutes. On each phase, one of 4 random music tracks will play, so each playthrough has even more feeling of randomness, never having the same background music. The files that start with P1-P4 are for each phase the 4 random tracks that could play during that phase. All music is either royalty free, or composed by the creative director François Lépine (none of these soundtracks are Ai).
