Until Dawn (Video Game)	comment	Until Dawn is a Survival Horror Adventure Game made by Supermassive Games and published by Sony. It was released on August 25, 2015 exclusively on the PlayStation 4.Every year, a group of young friends travel to an isolated ski lodge deep in the mountains for their annual retreat. When a mean-hearted prank goes awry, two of the friends are driven out into the icy darkness and are never heard from again.One year later, the remaining eight are invited to that same ski lodge to commemorate their friends' deaths. But when mysterious and deadly occurrences begin to happen, it quickly becomes clear that someone or something is out for blood... and not all of them might make it out alive.Who will survive until dawn?The answer to that depends on the player and the choices they make throughout the story, which can drastically affect the way events play out and how the characters react to each other. The player is given two forms of aid: a "Butterfly Effect" journal that catalogues the links between your actions and consequences, and collectible "Totems" that offer prophecies of potential futures. There are hundreds of possible story paths and endings: every character might make it out alive, everyone could die, or there may only be a handful of survivors..The game was originally announced for the PlayStation 3 in 2012, intended as a showcase of Sony's new PlayStation Move system, but little was heard from it afterwards and many people suspected that it had become Vaporware. It finally resurfaced two years later with a heavily overhauled story, production values, and gameplay. The trailer can be viewed here, a gameplay demo from Gamescom 2014 can be viewed here, and a demo from E3 2015 can be viewed here.A spin-off game / tech demo for the PlayStation VR called Until Dawn: Rush of Blood debuted with release of the peripheral. It acts as a somewhat literal rail shooter as you ride through a carnival-themed roller coaster while dodging traps.A prequel also for the PS VR titled The Inpatient was released in January 2018 which takes place during the massacre of the Blackwood Pines Sanatorium in the 1950s.At the 2018 Gamescon, Supermassive Games announced a Spiritual Successor called The Dark Pictures Anthology, a series of standalone horror games beginning with Man of Medan which released in 2019, followed by Little Hope in 2020, House of Ashes in 2021, and The Devil in Me in 2022. In 2022, Supermassive also released The Quarry, a surprise Spiritual Sequel even more closely patterned on Until Dawn.In January 2024, a film adaptation was announced. David F. Sandberg will direct from a script by his Annabelle: Creation writer, Gary Dauberman. That same month, an Updated Re-release for the PlayStation 5 and PC was announced.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_10134c97	type	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety
Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_10134c97	comment	Artistic License â€“ Gun Safety: At one point, the psycho forces Chris to choose between shooting himself to save Ashley, shooting Ashley to save himself, or the both of them getting killed by circular saws. However, this trap is meant to scare them, not actually hurt them, and the gun is loaded with blanks. Ashley is far away enough from the gun that she would be fine if Chris shot her, but if he decides to make the Heroic Sacrifice, he puts the gun directly to his jaw before pulling the trigger. In real life, the gas expelled from the weapon at point-blank or contact range still should have killed either of them. The gunpowder from a blank is still incredibly hot, and would give you serious burns if you held the gun near your face.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_1235f055	comment	Dirty Coward: Choosing to play any character this way can have severe consequences. If Chris chooses to shoot Ashley rather than himself in Josh's second death trap (in addition to choosing to kill her in the first one), she'll leave him to the mercy of the wendigos at a critical moment. Perhaps even more jarring, Sam can sacrifice up to three other characters if she chooses to blow up the lodge and run immediately in the final sequence, rather than waiting.

Once it becomes apparent that there's a killer on the loose, Emily insists to Matt that they should not go back to the lodge, as that's what he'd be expecting them to do. Considering what the actual threat is, the lodge might actually be the safest place.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_22cf536c	comment	Chekhov's Gun: If Emily finds the flare gun, the game will treat it like this, even having a dedicated butterfly for it on the menu. It comes into place later. If Matt has it, he can fire it at a Wendigo and save his life if he falls while trying to rescue Emily. If Emily has it, she can shoot a Wendigo out of the sky, preventing herself from being bitten by it and causing Mike and Ashley to consider her a Zombie Infectee. Alternatively, she or Matt can simply fire it off right when they find it with no fanfare depending on whether Matt agreed or disagreed about heading to the fire tower. Sam can find a baseball bat in the basement early in the game. Later, when she's being chased by the psycho, she can remember seeing it and use it to defend herself. The scissors Ashley can find in the basement have the potential to come back into play later when she and Chris are attacked by the psycho the second time. The whole butterfly effect mechanic is predicated on the Chekhov's Gun principle. Whether they're actual weapons, events, or injuries, early developments can and will come back later (sometimes many chapters later) to either help you or bite you in the butt.

Mike can kill it, putting it out of its misery. Or he can try and comfort it, only for the poor thing to be dragged away by... something while it's still alive. Matt's attempts to help Emily instead of leaping to safety will almost certainly get him killed. Leaping to safety will spoil their relationship, but if he attempts to save her and does not possess a loaded flare gun (which will not happen unless Emily gave it to him AND he disagreed with her about going to the tower earlier), he'll be gruesomely impaled on a hook by a Wendigo. It's a moot point anyways because no matter his actions, she survives the fall.

If he lives until the end, it is impossible for Chris to die in the last chapter, as he escapes from the lodge before the plan to blow it up happens. Finally, Emily is able to survive falling from the radio tower (probably the biggest example of No One Should Survive That! in the game), and it takes a lot of mistakes to kill her in the mines (most QTEâ€™s can be failed without consequences, and the ones that matter require several fails on a row).

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_2e8875f0	comment	Misplaced Retribution: If you take as true the native beliefs that the mountain is protected by nature spirits (something, considering that wendigos exist, is implied to be true), the consequences of harming nature during the game often come off as this. The consequence of Chris shooting the squirrel? Sam gets attacked by a bird (despite berating Chris for doing that), which prevents her from escaping from the Psycho later. Throwing a snowball at a bird? An icicle falls over Jessica and Mike, with the former being sorry for it and the latter having nothing to do with it. And if you harm nature in every way (killing the squirrel, the bird and the injured deer, even though the latter would count as a Mercy Kill... yeah...), an aggresive deer will show up to Matt during the cliff scene, despite Matt having nothing to do at all with any of the aforementioned moments. There's also Josh's revenge prank. Ashley, Chris, and Sam get the full traumatizing brunt of it- despite the fact that Chris and Sam did not participate in the prank (Chris was passed out drunk and Sam actively opposed it), and Ashley played a minor role. Mike and Jessica, who were major players, were sent up to the (non-booby trapped) cabin and away from the prank. While they do end up in danger, that's because of Wendigo Hannah, not Josh. Of course, this is all probably justified since Josh is mentally unstable by that point.

However, none of his actions directly lead to another character's death (a trait shared only with Jessica), and when Mike yells that he killed Jessica, he seems genuinely offended and freely admits that despite everything he did, he wouldnâ€™t kill any of them. If anybody does die and Josh and Mike find their bodies in the Wendigoâ€™s lair, Josh will scream that he didnâ€™t want any of them to die.

When Josh was talking to Sam, he said Chris and Ashley just needed a traumatic experience to drive them into each other's arms. He also said Chris wouldn't make a move on Ashley unless a gun was pointed at his head. Cue torture porn prank where they do end up in each other's arms and Chris will make an Anguished Declaration of Love to Ashley with a gun to his head. Thanks to the choices of the player, Chris and Ashley can end up together. But even if the Wendigo didn't happen, they probably wouldn't have invited Josh to the wedding after what they went through.

Jessica only has a couple of completely inconsequential playable segments super early on, and is the first to potentially die, but if she doesn't die, she disappears until the penultimate chapter, and is only playable again if you lost Matt beforehand. Matt, despite seeming like a major playable character in the first half of the game, also becomes this after the radio tower. Josh is the Disc-One Final Boss and drives the early game's plot, sure, but he also counts from a gameplay standpoint, "dying" right around the same time as Jess and only having a couple of mostly-unalterable playable sections in the final chapter.

Take someone's side or someone else's side during an argument, ignore someone in trouble, or leave someone to die to save yourself. Of course, all these choices will affect the relationships between the characters, and thus, affect how the story will turn out. This also extends to animals, as can be glimpsed by QTE's where one can aim and shoot at animals like squirrels and birds, killing them. At one point, Mike and Jessica come across a mauled deer, and Mike can put it out of its misery. Mike gets a literal one when at the sanatorium, after discovering that the person he's after seems to be living there with some wolves. When surprised by a wolf, Mike has the choice to attack it by actually kicking it. No matter the choice, a bit of exploration in the room allows the player to find a bone, which Mike can give to the wolf or not.

A group of teenagers become trapped on a mountain with a madman trying to torture and kill them. Sam, Chris and Ashley in particular are terrified for themselves and for their friends' lives as they attempt to flee from the Psycho. They are forced at one point to see Josh's brutal murder and can do nothing about it. They later discover that Josh was the Psycho all along, even faking his death, all for the sake of getting revenge and pranking his friends for what they did to his sisters. They had not expected to be betrayed by someone they thought they could trust.

Even if there are survivors, the ending interviews may imply further negative consequences: If Mike kills Emily, he's clearly mentally broken from the experience, and it's fairly obvious from the police interview that he's going down for her murder since her body was recovered intact (the explosion did not reach the basement) and he admits being the one who shot her. If Ashley has a Relationship Upgrade with Chris but he dies, she'll be bawling her eyes out during the credits. And if she stabbed the Psycho, she'll then have to explain why she stabbed her own friend Josh, who is now missing. If Jessica lives, she'll be completely traumatized by the events. This is especially tragic if she's the Final Girl. If Matt survived but Emily was shot by Mike in the cabin, when told by the police, he'll sputter in disbelief before he breaks down sobbing. If Chris knocks Josh out in the shed, he will have to explain why he hit a bound and helpless person, even going so far as to admit that he realizes it doesn't look good. If he's the sole survivor, he will break down crying. Regardless of your choices, Josh doesnâ€™t have a good ending. Heâ€™s either killed by the very sister he wanted to avenge in the first place or heâ€™s dragged away and becomes a Wendigo.

More to the point, the brunt of Josh's trauma-inducing revenge plot is focused on Chris, who wasn't even involved (he was passed-out drunk with Josh at the time), Sam, who was possibly actively trying to prevent the prank, and Ashley, who, of the prank's participants, was the least involved. Whereas those most involved with the prank, Emily and Jessica, who planned the whole thing; Mike, without whose cooperation the prank would have been impossible; and Matt, who recorded the whole thing, were sent far away from where the horror was staged. It's unknown if Josh had plans for them that simply didn't pan out, but it seems unlikely. Thus, he focused the bulk of his already disproportional revenge prank on the people least deserving (or not deserving at all) of it.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_59907e4f	comment	Police Are Useless: Toyed with; It's likely that you (mainly as Emily and also with Sam and Matt) will accidentally trip over more evidence concerning Beth and Hannah's disappearance than the police were apparently able to find over the course of a year's search (Emily and Matt lampshade it a bit when Matt discovers the particular clue he can find). Either they didn't think to check the enormous, still-accessible mine tunnels that cover half the mountain, or they did and they didn't go deep enough. The mines are, however, stated to be incredibly dangerous, and it's implied that the police know more than they are letting on about previous events on the mountain. That the girls also went missing during a snowstorm and that parts of the mountain are incredibly precarious appear to have hindered police investigations, too. Assuming you made the correct choices at the end of the game, the police are also useless against a Wendigo Josh as they investigate the mine. Though it doesn't help that many of the survivors' dialogue consists of "you don't want to know what's down there"... while also telling the police that they should go down into the mines. Even though it is explicitly stated at the start of the game that the police searched the grounds of the Sanitarium while looking for Beth and Hannah, they apparently didn't venture inside at all, even though that seems like a very logical place to search for two people who might have been looking for shelter from the storm. Then again, if they had ventured inside they would have found the massive amount of evidence inside it showing that Wendigos exist, including photos and a projector that actually shows a film of someone turning into a Wendigo. The projector and most of the other evidence in the building are out in the open and easy to find. The Inpatient confirms that the police has a pretty damn good idea of what happened in 1952 and did everything to hide it.

The survivors were transported to a sanatorium where they transformed, massacred the nurses and other patients, and fled into the night. Years later, when Hannah and Beth fell off a cliff resulting in the latter's death, the former's maiming, and both being presumed dead, Hannah resorted to eating her sister's remains, transforming her into the fearsome Makkapitew.

Bravery can be brought down to zero in Mike and Chris, both of whom mandatorily pull off some of the bravest actions in the game anyway afterwards.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_6331ba26	type	Plot Hole
Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_6331ba26	comment	Plot Hole: In Chapter 10, Sam and Mike encounter a room containing "bodies... a lot of them" and start freaking out over the number of victims there — which, depending on the player's choices, can be as low as one person (who can't be saved anyhow). After retrieving Josh in Chapter 10, Sam offers to climb out of the mine and go back to the lodge to meet up with "the others" — even if there are no others to meet up with, on account of everyone but Mike, Josh, and herself being dead by that point. While Matt's fate is uncertain to her, she has no reason to think he is at the lodge. The fact that the police were never involved before the events of the game makes no sense. After the cave-in, where a dozen miners went cannibalistic on their colleagues and were brought to the sanatorium, most of them turned into wendigos and proceeded to massacre everyone. They killed all the staff and other patients in the sanatorium, and then traveled from the sanatorium to the hotel and killed everyone there. This hotel was for wealthy families on vacation — by all logic, a major public investigation should have began when 100 people were suddenly killed on a remote mountain. And yet, the game does not suggest that there was ever any actual investigation into why everyone in the sanatorium and hotel suddenly died. If the government had investigated, they would have discovered the dead bodies and wendigos and locked the whole mountain down forever. And if they hadn't investigated, that means the friends and families of the 100 people who died there did not say a single word about the sudden mass disappearance. This is all addressed in the prequel game, The Inpatient, which reveals the police are very much aware of the Wendigo presence on the mountain. In fact, they covered up the events of that game to ensure the truth never got out. There is absolutely no way Josh could have done the pranks/scares that he did without help from someone else. His plan only tracks up until the first saw trap with him and Ashley chained up. After that, Chris and Ashley immediately go back to the lodge to find Sam, pausing for only a few minutes when they talk to Matt and Emily. According to the timestamps, however, over an hour passed after the first saw trap before Chris and Ashley return to the lodge. How is that possible? Did they just stand outside in the snow for an hour doing nothing, giving Josh ample time to sneak back into the lodge, set up balloons everywhere, and chase Sam into the basement? Not only that, but there is no point during the game where Josh could have snuck down to the cable car station to trash it (including painting "DIE" all over the walls) before Matt and Emily got there. That was just impossible for him to do alone, yet the game expects us to think he did.

Hannah also preserves Beth's head after the former turns into a wendigo. Mike is the only character that Wendigo Hannah will never directly kill, and there's a moment where she pulls him underwater and then appears to release him unharmed offscreen, suggesting that she still has some feelings for him.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_6b2b3b59	comment	Chris is forced to make two of these. First he has to choose who to save between Josh and Ashley in a death trap involving a huge saw. Later, Chris and Ashley find themselves in another one, with Chris forced to shoot either himself or Ashley to let the other one live. In an unusual twist on this trope, however, there actually is a "correct choice" on both occasions, though it only becomes apparent on a second playthrough once you know The Reveal: on the first occasion, Josh is the one who made the "saw trap" in the first place, and thus cannot actually die in it even though he set it up to look like he dies. The correct choice is to save Ashley, because not saving Josh won't actually kill him, and Ashley will be grateful to Chris if Chris saves her. And on the second occasion, the guns are loaded with blanks, and thus aren't as dangerous as guns loaded with bullets would be. But if he shoots it at Ashley, Ashley can let Chris die later, so the correct choice is to point it at Chris's own head (or let the timer run out) rather than at Ashley.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_6f619fab	comment	Let's Split Up, Gang!: Happens a few times during the game. The group get separated early in the game, with Mike and Jess leaving to a cabin away from the lodge for private time, Matt and Emily leaving to look for a bag they accidentaly left back at the cable car area, and the rest staying in the lodge doing a variety of things, though to their credit, they have no idea that there is something ominous in the mountain. Notably, once the group of 8 get separated, they never get all back together again, even if they all survive. When Matt and Emily come across Chris and Ashley after the buzzsaw trap, Matt and Emily leave to find help while Chris and Ashley return to the lodge to try finding the others. Shortly after the survivors learn of the wendigos, Flamethrower Guy and Chris leave for the shed to get Josh, while Mike and Ashley stay upstairs to wait for them and Sam and Emily (if she didn't die in the mines) head to the basement. Right afterwards, with the Stranger dead and the teens in the basement, Mike leaves to try finding Josh, who has the cable car keys. Not long after Mike has left in search of Josh, the others go after him to warn him of the wendigos trapped in the sanatorium, having to take an alternate route due to Mike locking some doors behind him, and eventually they come to a rocky outcrop. Sam continues ahead and tells whoever is left with her (if there are any) to return to the lodge. Ashley and potentially Chris get separated from the group during this time, with possible dire consequences. Ashley stays behind to make sure to secure the entrance (if Chris stays with them or was killed by the wendigos) or to leave a marker (should Chris remain behind). As she attempts to rejoin the others, she hears what sounds like Jessica, and if she opens a trapdoor while investigating, a wendigo will kill her. Chris can ask to be left behind due to his injured leg, so he can catch up later, and if the player opts to let him stay behind, he can be captured and killed by a wendigo (if Ashley freed it and was killed herself or if he checks and opens the trapdoor) as he attempts to rejoin the others. The final time it happens is right after Sam and Mike find Josh. Sam decides to climb out of the mine up a rocky outcrop, while Mike decides to take Josh the long way around, as Josh has an injured leg and cannot climb up the rocks.

Non-romantic variation: Two characters, Matt and Jessica, are put in grave danger early on (they are the most likely to die due to how hard it is to keep them both alive, and even if they survive, they are presumed dead by the rest of the cast).

The player can also control an unseen person talking to a psychologist named Dr. Hill, through first-person view, and it's here one makes the decisions as to what the game will be like by choosing the things one fears most, who among the eight playable characters one likes and dislikes most, among other things. It's later revealed that the unknown person is Josh, and that while Dr. Hill is a real person, the one we see is a delusion, all in Josh's head.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_7e6c0522	type	Off with His Head!
Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_7e6c0522	comment	Off with His Head!: There are several of these through the game, with the gruesome addition that the severed heads are shown to still be aware for a few seconds after decapitation, through moving their eyes or changing facial expressions. Among the playable characters, both Chris and Ashley can die from being decapitated by a wendigo. Also, Flamethrower Guy gets his head cut off. And unlike with Chris and Ashley's deaths being optional, he will inevitably die no matter what. If either Matt and/or Jess are killed early in the game, you will later find that the wendigos applied this trope to them post-mortem. It even happens to a wendigo at the end. When they invade the lodge in search of the kids, they start fighting one another (likely out of pure hunger and trying to prevent one another from reaching their prey first), and Hannah as a wendigo takes another out and tears its head clean off. Even a bit earlier, Sam can knock off a burning wendigo's head with a shovel (or blunt pipe depending on which path she took) as it attacks Mike.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_7fbb2a3	comment	Nice Job Breaking It, Hero: So... you put forth the maximum effort, find all the clues and totems, and move heaven and earth to keep everyone alive. Most of these efforts are rewarded with a better ending... except one. If Josh survives, he's a mentally broken husk, trapped in the mines and isolated from all human contact (which is implied to be his greatest fear), and is doomed to become a Wendigo himself. On top of this, it's implied he murders and eats at least two innocent policemen, and there is no telling how many other people will suffer at his hands in the future. The poor guy may have been better off dead. In The Events of the Past (the short video unlocked by finding all of the game's hidden totems), it's revealed that the Stranger killed the Makkapitew, Blackwood Mountain's strongest Wendigo, partially in retaliation for forcing Beth and Hannah over a ledge and into the mines. He does this in violation of his general policy, which is to trap and confine Wendigos rather than killing them outright, since the death of the spirit's host body results in it being free to possess someone else. Unfortunately, he's unaware that Hannah is still alive underground, trapped alone in the dark with no food source besides Beth's cadaver. His decision to kill the Makkapitew results in her being possessed by it when she eventually becomes desperate enough to eat what's left of her twin sister, and this in turn results the release of all the monsters he'd locked away and his own death at Hannah's hands.

Further investigation reveals that the mine owners lied about the number of trapped miners in order to conceal the fact that not all of them survived: the miners were forced to resort to cannibalism while trapped, unleashing the curse of Blackwood Mountain and beginning their transformation into Wendigos, hence the attempted biting.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_9b53f32	comment	Exposed to the Elements: Several characters, most notably Sam and potentially Jessica, expose a good amount of skin while outside in a snowstorm or traversing water, and other than some superficial complaints about the cold and numbness, never have any effect on them. However, it's worth noting that in each of these situations, they see this as something of a problem, and opt to get dressed better as soon as they can. Such as Mike's case, he finds a jacket belonging to the Stranger in the Sanatorium, and puts it on, while Jessica, if she undressed earlier, will quickly put on an old jacket and pair of boots she finds in the area of the mine she fell into. Becomes particularly severe when, later in the game, multiple characters can be completely immersed in water and then wander around in the snow without changing clothes for the rest of the story. Despite this being one of the easiest and deadliest ways to become hypothermic, they never suffer any physical symptoms beyond mild discomfort.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0	type	Took a Level in Badass
Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_9bcd82c0	comment	Took a Level in Badass: Technically all the characters over the course of the game, some more than others, especially if the player takes all the proper actions to showcase it. Sam goes from running scared from a masked fiend dressed in a towel to venturing into danger to help Mike, knowing there are wendigos out there, attacks either a burning or a fully healthy wendigo head-on, and at the end of the game, she uses herself as bait to distract the wendigos to give her friends time to get out of the lodge, where she can then promptly blow up the remaining ones. Mike goes from a goofy Jerk Jock to a badass Determinator once Jessica gets captured by the Wendigo and he goes to rescue her. Even if he believes Jessica to be dead, or sees her be killed, he still will put himself in insane conditions to help the others. He can even make a Heroic Sacrifice at the end if Sam is dead instead of saving himself, to kill the Wendigos. When we first see Emily in the present, she is a total Alpha Bitch who is so high-maintenance that she won't even carry her own bags and makes her henpecked boyfriend do it. But once the fire tower falls down, she shows an amazing will to survive, pulls off some surprising physical moves in the mines, showcases some smarts in the face of possible death as the wendigo chases her, and almost seems Made of Iron, escaping the pursuing wendigo either unarmed, or if she kept the flare gun, by shooting the wendigo in the face. Chris starts off as a geeky goofball who gets emotionally broken down when he gets forced to choose who to kill between Josh and Ashley. Afterwards, though, he is fiercely adamant about trying to find Sam because she may be in danger, chooses to shoot himself instead of the girl he loves, and does not hesitate to go out to try rescuing Josh. When the Stranger gets killed by the wendigo, he flees and manages to repel it repeatedly with a series of shotgun blasts, even after injuring one of his legs.

Another one: If you choose to shoot Ashley, you'll earn an achievement named "Fatal Grudge." You can only guess how this will end up later. There's a more subtle but also more major example of an interface spoiler: if there are 8 teens, why is the game only letting you control 7? The game never lets you control Josh, and this is a major hint at something that's revealed later.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	type	Foreshadowing
Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_9d12bbc1	comment	Foreshadowing: Early on, Josh mentions to Sam that it will probably take some kind of terrible, traumatic event to get Chris and Ashley to go out with each other. As it happens, he's got just the thing on deck for that. Josh also tells Sam that Chris probably wouldn't tell Ashley how he feels unless someone was holding a gun to his head. Chris and Ash finally reveal their feelings for each other when they're stuck in a trap and Chris has to shoot either Ashley or himself, with the survivor being released, although they tell each other before they're told what Chris must do. The entire basement scene when Sam and Josh go down to activate the boiler serves to foreshadow the psycho's attack on Sam, from Josh's comment about the stairs to the baseball bat in the cabinet. Early on, as Sam and Josh turn the water heater on in the basement, Sam hears a strange sound and can suggest to check it out, fearing it could be a damaged pipe or a problem with the furnace, saying she wouldn't want the place to burn down. Burning the lodge down, by blowing it up, is what she and Mike have to resort to at the end to take out the wendigos that have infested the place. A minor example that may or may not have even been intentional, when Chris and Ash are searching the lodge for Sam, Ash freaks out after seeing a ghost, and Chris tells her that they need to keep their heads. Both can die by decapitation later on. Totems are scattered here and there throughout the game, and whenever a character finds one, they get a vision about an event that can happen, like their or one of their friends' deaths, a fortunate event, or simply guidance. However, those visions aren't guaranteed to happen; depending on the choices the player makes, those events will either happen as predicted, or be prevented. In the intro, Hannah's body rolls farther than Beth's, seemingly propelled by the momentum of their fall. Watch closely and see that she's still moving during the fade to black. It shows that she survived the fall, and, once the wendigoes are introduced, serves as a clue to her eventual horrific fate. One of the newspaper clippings in The Stranger's Room Full of Crazy is of a sighting of Bigfoot, which isn't too far off from the monsters encountered later on. The first visit of the Blackwood Sanatorium as Mike, which foreshadows the wendigo plot of the second half of the plot and the much darker history of the mountain. Choosing certain characters as your least favorite in the Chapter Three therapy session will elect comments from Dr. Hill that foreshadow the Psycho's identity and some events in the game. Picking Sam will have Hill call her pretty and imply that you have a crush on her, backed up by Josh and Sam's high relationship values and Sam's remarks during the credits. Choosing Mike will have Hill agree that he is a jerk and warns that he may spoil the game—Mike was the linchpin in the prank against Hannah, and ultimately is the one who seals Josh's fate by tying him up. Selecting Jess will have Hill note that she doesn't need to be focused on, since she's out of the way: Josh sent her to the guest cabin, and indeed Jess will be very out of focus for most of the game. Finally, picking Josh will have Hill exclaim that he understands you better now—and it turns out, of course, that the "you" in this case is Josh, and Josh indeed utterly despises himself for failing to protect his sisters. Another example from selecting your most disliked character: a picture of the character you pick will appear with the other friends' pictures in the basement with their eyes crossed out. It has no impact of its own on the plot, but given the high likelihood that Emily will be the chosen character and she has a potential death by having her eyes gouged out, it may be intentional. Ditto for Ashley, another divisive character with the potential for the same fate. Josh's psycho mask has a lipless mouth of exposed teeth. Rather apropos hint of his transformation into a Wendigo if he lives, as their lips are usually gnawed off.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_b4a6ae4c	comment	Everyone Has Standards: After the reveal that Josh is the psycho Chris has no problem punching him if Josh punched Ashley, and can even hit him in the head with a 2x4. He will still be disturbed by how roughly Mike treats Josh, and can express skepticism Josh would try to hurt Jessica. He can also immediately disarm Mike after he points a gun in Joshâ€™s face. Later, Chris will even risk his life and possibly die trying to save Josh from the Wendigo, despite everything Josh just put him through. This can also go the other way, too. If Chris knocks Josh out with the 2x4, Mike will repeatedly rake him over the coals for being so violent, despite the fact that Mike, himself, knocked Josh out earlier, and has been beating the hell out of him ever since.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_b8e3f20a	comment	Demoted to Extra: Jess, Matt, and Chris don't get much to do if they survive their potential deaths. Jess and Matt (or either individually if only one survives) are thrown into their own B-plot that only recurs in a couple of chapters, and doesn't get nearly as much screen time as the rest of the group. (Tellingly, if both die, their sub-plot just doesn't happen, and the rest of the story remains all but identical without it.) Chris will stay with the main group but be conspicuously sidelined, chipping in with conversations occasionally but no longer actively participating in driving the plot. Possibly Justified in that his last heroic action ended so badly (with his leg getting injured and the Stranger getting killed right in front of him) that he could well be just too deeply in shock to keep up with Sam, Mike, and the other survivors.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_babc974	comment	Sadistic Choice: Chris is forced to make two of these. First he has to choose who to save between Josh and Ashley in a death trap involving a huge saw. Later, Chris and Ashley find themselves in another one, with Chris forced to shoot either himself or Ashley to let the other one live. In an unusual twist on this trope, however, there actually is a "correct choice" on both occasions, though it only becomes apparent on a second playthrough once you know The Reveal: on the first occasion, Josh is the one who made the "saw trap" in the first place, and thus cannot actually die in it even though he set it up to look like he dies. The correct choice is to save Ashley, because not saving Josh won't actually kill him, and Ashley will be grateful to Chris if Chris saves her. And on the second occasion, the guns are loaded with blanks, and thus aren't as dangerous as guns loaded with bullets would be. But if he shoots it at Ashley, Ashley can let Chris die later, so the correct choice is to point it at Chris's own head (or let the timer run out) rather than at Ashley. The tutorial scene has one, where after finding themselves cornered by a flamethrower-wielding stranger and hanging for dear life over a cliff, the player must choose whether Beth drops Hannah, or to let go of the branch she's holding on to so both girls fall to their deaths, or does nothing.

Jess is described as "confident and trusting", yet admits to being insecure and is uneasy about Mike's ex Emily being around. Mike has the highest "romantic" stat, despite the fact that he's implied to be cheating on Jess and has to be coached by her on how to set the mood before sex (as he evidently wanted to jump straight into the action). By contrast, he has low "brave" and "charitable" stats, even though he's friendly to everyone regardless of how they treat him and performs the most heroic acts in the game.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_c39a5ef0	comment	During the first death trap, the game will ask you to choose which of two characters to condemn to death... and then ignore your choice and kill the character it actually wants dead. This choice does have consequences later, and there is a reason that it works that way... but it can be jarring to one's Willing Suspension of Disbelief. The "trap" was actually part of a prank set up by Josh in order to push Chris and Ashley together. Since Josh didn't actually want to kill anyone, the trap will never go for Ashley (who's actually tied up there), and will always go for Josh (who's using a fake cadaver to trick Chris). But if you do save Josh (and later choose to sacrifice Ashley to save yourself), Ashley will later cause Chris's death by failing to open the door for him when he's being chased by a Wendigo.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_c75df49a	comment	Shout-Out: Blackwood Pines is a direct reference to Algernon Blackwood, author of the short story "The Wendigo". The plot relevance of this fact only becomes apparent late in the game, though. The film posters in the private theater that the killer traps Sam in are all for real indie horror films — namely, The House of the Devil, Stake Land, The Innkeepers, Bitter Feast, Automatons, and Hypothermia, all of which were produced by Larry Fessenden (the co-writer of the game and the voice of the Flamethrower Man). The scene where Mike can choose to cut off his fingers with a machete might be a reference to the iconic scene from this game's most obvious predecessor, Heavy Rain. Same goes for a potential Emily death involving her clinging for dear life to a ledge over a grinder. Early in the game, Josh will do a brief John Wayne impersonation. Several achievement names are film references. For example, the outcome of one Emily scene will get you either "The Exorcism of Emily" or "Let eM In"; and keeping all four boys alive in one playthrough gets you "The Quicker Man". At one point, Emily and Matt are in a radio tower that suddenly collapses because a Wendigo cut the metal wires supporting it. The next time we see Emily, she wakes up to realize she's lying vertically on the tower's window that's about to break beneath her. The shot here is very similar to one in the second Jurassic Park movie, The Lost World: Jurassic Park (which featured Peter Stormare, who plays Dr. Hill in this game, as Asshole Victim Dieter Stark), where a character named Sarah hides in an RV that gets pushed over a cliff by a T-Rex, to which the RV is only hanging onto a metal line and Sarah finds herself lying on the RV's rear window that's slowly breaking beneath her. In Chapter 6, Chris and Ashley turn a chair around to find an unconscious Sam. The angle of this reveal is a direct homage to the climax of Psycho.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_d2c0e2ed	comment	Schmuck Bait: While the game doesn't have many, the ones it does have can be brutal if the player falls for them. For starters, there's that peculiar decomposed hand waving back and forth on some covered contraption, hiding a bear trap that can snap on Mike's fingers if he tries grabbing at the tag on the hand. Not long after Ashley reads about and tells the others of the wendigos being able to mimic their prey, she will be momentarily separated from the others and listen to a voice similar to Jessica's, which she can check and follow up to a trap door with someone banging on it. Those who fail to remember about the wendigos being able to mimic their prey and/or fail to notice that "Jessica" is not calling out anymore or even speaking any words and is now just banging on the trap door, will end up losing Ashley. If Matt dies early, Jessica is alone in the mines, badly injured, moving slowly and with wendigos right after her. The game first gives the options to either "Hide" or "Try To Run", and then afterwards "Break Through" some wooden planks to the outside or "Try To Run" once more. The key word in these options being "Try". Any player that chooses either of the two "Try To Run" options will notice too late that Jessica certainly tries to run, but because of her severe injuries, she doesn't even get three feet before the wendigo catches and kills her. The final sequence finds Sam, Mike, and any remaining survivors trapped inside the lodge by the wendigos. Sam distracts them so Mike can break a lightbulb, which, mixed with the gas spilling into the place, can cause an explosion once the power is turned on. Anyone who, at any moment, chooses to "Run For The Switch" rather than saving Mike and hiding after the "Don't Move" sequences will realize too late that they are controlling Sam and not any of the other characters, so the choice to run for the switch won't apply to them and they will remain inside and die in the explosion.

For the majority of the game, the flamethrower man is the prime suspect for the two girlsâ€™ deaths. It turns out that he was actually trying to help them out: the thing they were being chased by was a Wendigo out for human flesh, and the man was trying to kill it before it got to the girls. The first half of the gameâ€™s main villain is a mask-clad psychopath who terrorizes the protagonists: kidnapping them and putting them in death traps. Come The Reveal, and it turns out that the â€œpsychoâ€� is actually a rather puny Disc-One Final Boss, and didnâ€™t ever mean to kill anyone. The Wendigo spirits are the true villains of the game.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_f2877d9e	comment	Earlier on, Jessica can end up walking around in just her underwear... and it then goes out the window right quick when something snatches Jessica away, and she can end up dead and with her jaw yanked off, while still in her undies, and even if she survives, she'll appear much later, still in underwear, all dirty and bloodied.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_f300ca44	comment	Cliché Storm: invoked Deliberately invoked by Josh's plan, which is based around thrusting his friends into a real-life horror movie. His shorthand for such is composed of the cliches of both '80s slasher movies (a masked killer stalking nubile teens in the woods) and modern Torture Porn (the Saw-style traps he puts Chris and Ashley into). It very quickly goes Off the Rails, though.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_f3626b09	comment	If you take as true the native beliefs that the mountain is protected by nature spirits (something, considering that wendigos exist, is implied to be true), the consequences of harming nature during the game often come off as this. The consequence of Chris shooting the squirrel? Sam gets attacked by a bird (despite berating Chris for doing that), which prevents her from escaping from the Psycho later. Throwing a snowball at a bird? An icicle falls over Jessica and Mike, with the former being sorry for it and the latter having nothing to do with it. And if you harm nature in every way (killing the squirrel, the bird and the injured deer, even though the latter would count as a Mercy Kill... yeah...), an aggresive deer will show up to Matt during the cliff scene, despite Matt having nothing to do at all with any of the aforementioned moments.

The major exception is for Chris, since if he chooses to try to sacrifice Ashley in the second trial, she will hold a grudge against him and will leave him to die in a later chapter.

Until Dawn (Video Game) / int_fdbd6162	comment	With Friends Like These...: Aside from Sam, it's not really known how close any of the characters were to Hannah, but they were willing to prank her in a rather humiliating fashion. Hannah herself seems to be perfectly okay with having an affair with Mike, knowing he was dating Emily at the time. More generally speaking, they show up to a weekend trip ready to scrap. Jessica and Emily can get in a nasty cat fight and Mike and Matt can wrestle one another. They're also constantly pulling pranks on one another, which is in slightly poor taste considering two of their friends (who were also Josh's sisters) died because of their hijinks the year before.

There is a wolf Mike can befriend, which can accompany him through a portion of the game as Mike tries fighting off several wendigos, which the wolf can clearly detect ahead of time.

Of course, all these choices will affect the relationships between the characters, and thus, affect how the story will turn out. This also extends to animals, as can be glimpsed by QTE's where one can aim at animals like squirrels and birds, simply miss (intentionally or not), or not shooting at all and letting them be. At one point, Mike and Jessica come across a mauled deer, and Mike can comfort it as it dies. Mike gets a literal one when at the sanatorium, after discovering that the person he's after seems to be living there with some wolves. When surprised by a wolf, Mike has the choice to leave it be. No matter the choice, a bit of exploration in the room allows the player to find a bone, which Mike can give to the wolf, who will then behave friendly towards Mike and allow Mike to pet it.
