Mike and Sam carried everybody in the game lol

Character: Don't move a muscle. Motion capture actors:* WOBBLE WOBBLE*

Is it just me or who loves seeing mike’s progression from a wannabe badass to an actual badass

"You need to go down to the mines" Sam, you're sending these people to their death lmao

Wendigos: *im not seeing enough movement*

Okay but let's discuss the real hero of the whole story: Sam's Anti-gravity towel

“Hey let’s pull a prank to scare them” “No that’s a douche move” “Yeah you’re right, never mind” Achievement unlocked: good ending

I hate how in this ending, Sam leads the police down to their death. If Emily is the sole survivor, she warns them about what's down there instead. So many people hate Emily but she was certainly the smartest character.

Can you guys imagine 100 years from now saying these graphics suck

I love how they're interrogated but their wounds aren't treated

Man, this game made me realize how much being in a horror movie would genuinely be the worse thing imaginable. Of course thats obvious, but this game totally tears down that degree of separation that a movie has. These are characters I care about, and they will genuinely be traumatized and scarred for the rest of their lives. Such a great game.

It is heartbreaking to see Jess broken down, scared, hurt, confused, tired. From the way her character was set up in the beginning, to see her broken down like that in the end hurts.

At the "Dont move" moments I just lay my controller on the table

josh was psychotic but he didnt want his friends to die

Sams face gave me chills. A wendigo screamed in her ear. The only person she could trust backstabbed her. Almost died and had to blow up a whole ass house. Her eyes at the end when she was being interviewed omg so scary

Sam's creepy half-unhinged smile while she talks about the mines is *still* easily one of the eeriest parts of the game, especially how it looks like's she's trying to hold it back at times. They are all terrified in this interview, but her sanity's basically hanging on by a thin, thin thread at this point.

Imagine if sam hit the wrong switch in the end

After the interviews and credits ended, I suddenly realized that all of those horrific events happened in ONE night. Incredible what can happen over the course of 12 hours; one hour you're a perfectly ordinary person who didn't have a care in the world, few hours later, traumatized and suffering from PTSD for the rest of your life.

When someone is the only survivor, they either mention “There’s something in the mines” Or Mention Josh

7:01 Sam really liked Josh. Imagine how she must've felt when she found out he was the psycho. It was obvious she had feelings for him. She lost her best friends and then she lost her possibly crush, who happened to be her best friends's brother :(

*_Rami Malek did a well good job playing a psychopath._*

Mike: Don't move a muscle, or he'll kill you! Sam: *HEAVY SHAKING*

sam’s voice actor is soo good her delivery is really convincing

Mike and Sam are smart and strong characters, but not enough people give Emily credit. She was super tough and relied on her smarts and surroundings to survive. She literally survived a one on one chase with a Wendigo. She was a badass.

8:17 I got chills at this part of the credits, because it confirms that it wasn’t Jess crying for help, it was the Wendigo mimicking her

the animations and everything for the interview scenes at the end are fucking impressive i don't think some of you realize how much it takes to get these facial expressions so well done

The fact that Emily pushing Ash shows how devoted of a friend she is

Mike: "DON'T. MOVE. A MUSCLE Heart: "Guess I'll just die"

I personally think that jess went through the most. Literally being dragged by wendigos and having to stay still in the mine scenes and yet she still has no clue what was going on

A subtle detail at 2:59 that you can also see in a few other shots : that piece of metal stuck in Hannah's forehead is the bullet Mike fired at her when he saw her after rescuing Jessica in chapter 4. If you choose not to shoot her, it won't appear. Cool little easter egg from the devs.

I’m so happy Matt makes it. He’s my favorite character. So pure and good-hearted.

I feel so bad for Jessica, she looks so broken in the end credits.

I got this ending and Jess's line gave me actual goosebumps: "Your friend Ashley, she heard you call for her help." "No, no not me."

In every scream the Wendigo screams, you hear Hannah. Also, Hannah sort of realises who's who, because she doesnt kill mike and saves sam from the other wendigo (mike was her crush and sam was her bestfriend)

Lol i love how the game starts off as a cheesy slasher but then towards the end it grows into one of the best horror stories i have ever experienced

The actor for jess is amazing. She truly looks like she has been traumatized and seen some shit. She had that thousand yard stare, incredible and so sad.

4:19 *turns on the switch for the fan instead*

Human:Breaths Chris:Boom Butterfly Effect

when she tells the person to go down on the mines, the details in her emotions are so clear

I ended up really caring about Sam. I was so determined to ensure she survived.

I feel like Jess and Sam have the most real reaction

This could have been a great Netflix TV show

Am I the only one who finds the ending scene with the search party and Josh as a wendigo truly terrifying. Just having no idea of what’s down there pared with hearing Samantha’s last dialogue.

Sam's smile at the very end is so chilling

My question is, how is Sam not deaf from the wendigo shrieking in her face two times?!

How did chris’s glasses stay on for so long without having to push them up at all

Mike was such a great character you really start loving him through the play time

Imagine being in that situation, i will probably instantly die.

Wendigos look like me after binging 24 hours of Netflix and seeing myself in the watch next screen

I really feel bad for sam, she thought that josh and her clicked, not knowing that he was out of his head abusing his friends.

I love every aspect about the finale here, between the image of all 5 survivors in the cabin rushing up the switchback staircase amidst the tense music establishing the final set piece in the lodge, to the horror/action-movie level of planning done by Mike and Sam as they see the gas leak and strategize, in a moment's notice, to turn the entire lodge into a gas-bomb. There's also something thematic about Hannah, as the Wendigo, saving not only Sam's life at the end, but through such action of grabbing the other Wendigo, the entire plan's capacity to operate; in the Prologue, Sam stood up for Hannah about the prank, and in the finale, intentionally or not, Hannah saved Sam, and the other 4 lodge survivors, in turn. On top of that, because basically everybody in the lodge (besides Chris) can die in the finale depending on your actions, it adds to the tension, and makes the image of Sam making it out just as the place detonates, killing the Wendigos inside it, all the more dramatic and awesome when everybody survives. It really makes you feel like your actions had a tangible effect on the horror movie-esque finale as the survivors rise outside the lodge as the helicopter radios in its findings.

this is the definition of bittersweet even though they all survived and all of them except for Chris, Sam and maybe Matt deserved every single ounce of Josh’s anger and spite, it’s clear that the secrets they discovered, their violent fight for survival with the Wendigos and Josh’s wrathful actions has left them deeply traumatized for life and their relationship with each other is either put in question or destroyed and even though Josh has become a Wendigo it doesn’t change the fact that he technically won and got what he wanted

Here is a funny story, I was at the final “Don’t Move” sequence and then all of a sudden, I felt like I had to sneeze. I had one second left for not moving and I sneezed -.- Had to redo the whole scene

That "Secret" scene is as secret as the sun being a star.

If this was a movie. It likely Sam and mike are the canon survivors.

Sigh. I wish The Quarry had credits like this.

*Sam runs to light switch* *Wrong lightbulb turns on*

4:00 that screech would straight up deafen you, or worse... god damn sam took it like a champ

Even now, this game remains one of my all time favorites. The story is incredible and practically infinitely replayable, allowing for a ton of playthroughs and experiences.

When Matt says he wasn't good enough I always tear up

It isn’t a true all saved ending if you don’t save Wolfy

Jess looks so damn broken, I feel so bad for her. Emily's reaction was 100% uncalled for, they all literally went through hell and all she can do is hate on Matt and Mike like come on. I don't personally hate any of the characters, but gosh.

Only person I ACTUALLY feel bad for is Sam because she didn't deserve what happened to her. She was in love with Josh, and no one ever talks about how she was never even in on the prank they did to Hannah. And overall Sam was just the best in the game with how unproblematic she was.

I didn’t realise this but at the end before Sam switches the switch on in slow motion, it looked like Hannah was protecting her by pulling the wendigo back. That was pretty cool.

This game was freaking amazing. It's been five years, but Until Dawn will always be one of my favorites. Everything was great, from graphics, to gameplay, to storytelling. Truly, a masterpiece.

Top 3 best characters .3 MIKE .2 SAM .1 WOLF

Sam: You need to go down in the mines **smiles manically**

hands down one of the best horror game ever made. Can't change ur choices mid game, choices actually make a large impact, such creative use of motion sensor in Dual Shock 4 and brutal deaths. Wish sony make more games like this.

Police: Is That? Josh: Turns around B*tch you guessed it!!!

You gotta admit, this was a fucking amazing game and the developers need to make another game similar, not that vr one cause in my opinion, it wasn’t the best

There's an option for Matt to survive and Emily not to hate him. You just need to make sure that Matt keeps the flare instead of using it.

Came here after the dissapointment that was The Quarrys ending

This game gives me so much anxiety

_"WhAt's iN tHe mIneS, sAm?"_

Creature: screams nightmare fuel Captions: [applause] Ah yes, of course.

Got this game for 20-something dollars on the PS Store and I just finished it. Wow, what an amazing game. Truly a masterpiece. It was so cool playing a game where nearly every choice affects the story, who lives, etc. This game felt like a whole new genre never before seen in video games. Everything about this game impressed me. Until Dawn is a game I will never forget. 10/10

Sam Josh and Jess are really broken

I feel kinda bad for Josh, he should've lived. Sure he was a bit psychotic but only because the loss of his 2 sister.

It was just announced that Until Dawn is being made into a movie. So that means there are choices in this game that will be considered canon. I know that will ruin how great this game is, but it will be interesting to see what ACTUALLY happened.

After 8 years we finaly going too have a movie

so the longer u stayed away from the switch, the more ppl that survive. smart game design

4:06 Sam definitely lost her hearing after this

"Don't... Move." **head feels itchy** "F*ck."

This game was truly ahead of its time

did anyone else see emily fucking push ash while running?

*Headcanon epilogue:* *Sam:* Sam was unsurprisingly disturbed by the discovery of the Wendigo’s true identity - Hannah. For months on end, she decided to dedicate her time to researching everything she could about the curse atop the mountain, attempting to find a cure lest anyone else were to turn. Try as she might, however, her efforts were in vain. Dejected, Sam eventually returned to her old life of hiking and rock-climbing, but never again would she find herself alone - or unarmed. *Mike:* The tragedy of Beth’s death, alongside Hannah’s transformation, affected Mike deeply. For some time after the events at the mountain, he and Sam found comfort in each other’s company. But Sam’s renewed work ethic researching Wendigoes and Mike’s determination to push the past aside meant that a meaningful relationship would never come to fruition. Falling in and out of bouts of alcoholism, Mike would slowly return to his old life, though he makes occasional visits to a mental hospital to check in with an old friend. *Chris:* Unlike the rest of his peers, Chris’ wit and sense of humour led him to be slightly less perturbed by the night’s events. He would go on to write a book about his experiences, titled “Until Dawn: The Twelve Hour Nightmare,” dedicated to the old man that saved him. In an ironic twist of fate, the traumatic happenings on the mountain actually led Chris to his happily ever after, with his bestselling book in one arm, and Ashley in the other. *Ashley:* Ashley, alongside Mike and Jess, was incredibly unstable following the events on the mountain, having been kidnapped (twice), chased by a Wendigo, and nearly shot and sawn in half (granted, the last two were staged, though it did not lessen her panic). In a fit of mania, she would attempt to take her life, only to find herself being saved once again -by Chris. Strengthened by his support, she frequents visits to a therapist’s office, who seems all too familiar in dealing with those facing trauma. *Emily:* Emily began to point fingers the moment Josh’s cabin burst into flames. She didn’t care who or what was chasing her in the mountains - As far as she was concerned, Mike and Matt were traitors. However, the mystery of the Wendigo intrigued her more than she would have ever wanted to admit. Alienated from the rest of the group, Emily would go on to work in the upper echelons of Los Angeles due to her deep pockets: snobby critic by day, supernatural investigator by night. *Matt:* Matt never met the lofty standards set by Emily when they dated, even less so when he couldn’t save her atop the burning firewatch tower. But he knew that he tried his best, but wasn’t good enough. With a renewed purpose, Matt pursued a life of self-improvement, joining charity organisations and helping the marginalised, so that he would never let anyone down ever again, just like he did with Emily. *Jess:* Jess’ night never ended, and it broke her. Even after being informed by Sam and Mike that the ‘Wendy-go’ responsible for the night’s happenings had been slain, she could only see death. Everywhere she went, she saw it - a thin, pale figure, with glossy eyes, sharp teeth - and she could hear its scream, like nails on chalkboard, echoing off of her skull. Too afraid to venture anywhere, she became a shut-in, and was later checked into a mental hospital to treat her trauma and constant nightmares. Even in her padded room, she never felt safe enough to sleep - Unless, of course, Mike was there to protect her. *Josh:* Whereabouts unknown. Hungry.

0:30 that moment always gives me goosebumbs, am I the only one? It's so tense and the music helps a lot. All saved is my favourite ending. I mean, it would be better for Josh if he died instead of turning into wendigo but the wendigo ending just feels more cinematic and canon in a way

No disrespect to The Quarry but this is the ending we should have gotten.

When I shouldn’t move I really want to do jumping jacks...

Random Fact: when sam's running there are two wendigo's, one almost grabs her, but the one behind pushes the wendigo back, the wendigo that pushed the one back from grabbing Sam was Hannah, Hannah saved Sam because Sam didn't take part into the prank that got her killed.

If I’m being 100% honest, that Josh Wendigo scene scared me P.S. - When I tried out this game, I had common knowledge of Wendigos, so I didn’t open the hatch. Thanks Native American Mythology

*"i've seen what's down there... and i'd give anything to unsee it."*

i love josh's character, he didn't deserve to be like that

Man I fucking got Sam killed at the end all because of a fucking sneeze wtf haha I was doing so good with keeping everybody alive and then I fuck it up hah

Basically their trauma at the end of the game: Chris feels regret that he couldn't save the Stranger after the Stranger saved him. Ashley believes she left Jessica in the mine shafts and feels regret for not helping (when it was really Hannah tricking her), she also feels panicked because she stabbed the psycho that she didn't know was Josh. Emily is angry at Mike for pointing the gun at her and almost shooting her. She can either be angry at Matt for leaving her to die or wishes he made it alive after he tried to save her. Jessica is the one who experienced the most trauma and left her the most scarred. She deconfirms Ash's claims that it was her shouting in the mine and is wondering where Mike is. Mike is disgruntled about Josh's mindset throughout the early part of the game. Sam is emotionally torn because she thought she had a good relationship with Josh. She is also scarred about what she seen in the mine. Josh was left to starve in the mine, consumed by hunger he ate the Stranger's face and got possessed by a Wendigo spirit.

7:46 if you fully defend Emily from a fight from Jessica, she thought about him and worried.

Ashley may not be the most benevolent character, but did Emily really just shove her to one side so the Wendigos might catch her as bait? What an evil person.

When everyone(Except emily) says "WENDIGOS MAN THEYRE UP THERE THEY EAT PEOPLE!" and the cops say they're all nuts... Classic horror trope

This is one of the best horror media credits ever in my opinion, it still keeps it's unsettling feel even if everyone's alive.

Jessica saying it wasn’t her that was calling for help in the mines when Ashley was walking by is the real scary part of this interview
