   Ashley "Ash" Brown is one of the eight main protagonists and a playable character in Until Dawn. She was voiced and motion captured by actress Galadriel Stineman.

   Appearance

   Ashley is a teenage Caucasian girl with medium-length layered red hair and green eyes. Ashley wears natural-colored lip gloss and has smokey eyeshadow.

   In the Prologue, Ashley wears a dark green and white striped beanie, a dark red puffer jacket, a green long sleeved shirt, black lace-up boots, and a pair of charcoal yoga pants.

   When the group meets up a year later, her attire consists of a striped red and pink beanie, a light gray hoodie worn over a long-sleeved red shirt, blue jean shorts, and black tights. She also wears a pair of red-striped fingerless gloves. Her accessories include a green rectangular ring on her right middle finger and a silver locket.

   Later, she gets splattered with blood on one side of her outfit and face, which stays there for the remainder of the game. She may also be given a black eye due to being punched by the Psycho if she stabs him with the scissors. Personality

   Ashley is... she's a little more serious than some of the other girls. She's definitely very intelligent and thoughtful, she kind of looks at the whole big picture of things. She's not quite as geeky as Chris, but they connect in a lot of ways. GALADRIEL STINEMAN ON ASHLEY

   Ashley traits remake AshleyPersonality Ashley is described in-game as academic, inquisitive and forthright, the latter replaced with 'sensitive' in the remake. She loves books, dislikes horror movies and dreams of being an author.[1]

   Ashley generally seems to be friendly and eager to be in the company of others. For example, she was among the first to accept Hannah's party invitation. However, after what happened a year ago, she's uncomfortable about being back at the Washington Lodge. Her attendance and actions throughout the evening are partially motivated by her strong feelings toward Chris, whom she has an unexpressed crush on. She is shown to be very observant as, when she finds clues like the Hidden Camera and Faked Newspapers, she's able to recognize their greater significance. However, she does have a tendency to let her imagination run away with her; while Chris is incredulous, Ashley is quick to believe in an apparent ghost she sees and also misunderstands the magnitude of Emily’s bite wound. Compared with some of her more loose and laid-back friends, Ashley is rather polite, serious, and even a little hesitant; she doesn't use profanity often like other group members and tends to follow the decisions of others.

   Ashley hides with scissors Ashley on her own. According to Dr. Hill, Ashley's greatest fear is the dark, so when she returns to the shadowy woods of Blackwood Mountain during the bleak, winter evening, she's immediately more frightened than most of the others in the group. Her tendency to be meek and timid outlines her lack of self-confidence, and as the night progresses she becomes increasingly distressed and scared by the life-threatening and seemingly supernatural events taking place around her. As such, she at times displays reluctance in looking for Sam when the latter goes missing, though Chris can usually convince her to continue and even show courage in the face of a potential threat. Still, when in actual danger, Ashley is not as quick on her feet as Mike or Emily. This is shown when she manages to stab the Psycho in the shoulder with a pair of scissors, but then fails to either follow up on this attack or escape.

   Of all the protagonists, Ashley's personality can be shaped and affected the most by the player's choices. Ashley partook in the prank against Hannah, having planned it with Jessica, Emily, Mike, and Matt. Afterwards, she has the most chances to express regret about participating in the prank if the player so chooses. However, the player can also choose for her to react dismissively and blame Hannah, claiming she overreacted. Additionally, Ashley can be shown to possess a vengeful streak: her constant frightened state as a result of the night's distressing events will reach a boiling point where she 'snaps' if Chris chose to shoot her and save himself in Josh's prank. She will then later refuse to let him into the lodge, leading to him being killed by a Wendigo. Afterwards, she shows to be barely affected by his death when Sam tries to comfort her. In the 2024 version of the game, Ashley is more emotional about the ordeal and visibly hesitates, though her reluctance still results in Chris' death. If Chris did not shoot Ashley, however, she will wait attentively by the door for Chris to return and let him in just in time to save him, and will be devastated if he dies. Until Dawn

   Biography

   2024

   Booksmart Ashley's overactive imagination is perfectly suited to her dream career as an author, but it also means she has an aversion to anything remotely scary. She has a crush on her study partner Chris, but wrongly believes that the feeling isn't reciprocated.[2]

   2015

   Ashley is a smart cookie. She's often found in the library, studying away with her nose in a book. However, her overactive imagination means that she's jumpier than a paranoid kangaroo. She's not a fan of anything scary.

   After spending a lot of time with her study-partner Chris, Ashley wonders if he's interested in her as more than just a friend, but she soon snaps out of it - Chris would never ask her out anyway.[1]

   Involvement

   Chapter Appearances One Year Ago

   In the remake

   Ashley and Matt smirking Ashley and Matt. In the remake, Ashley is first seen sitting with Matt in the living room along with Emily, Mike, and Sam. When Jessica enters, Sam tries to discourage the group from going through with the planned prank they are about to play on Hannah. Despite this, Ashley and Matt head to the guest room followed by the others. Emily positions Ashley into the wardrobe and, when the prank is exposed, she jumps out of her hiding spot. Upon seeing how far out of control the prank has gone and how humiliated Hannah appears, both Ashley and Matt seem to visibly regret their actions. As Hannah runs out of the lodge, Ashley and the rest of the group chase after her but stop at the door. In the original game

   In the original game, Ashley is at first seen separate from the rest of the group. She is talking with Matt in the living room before Jessica, Emily, Mike, and Sam emerge from the kitchen. The pair follow the others to the guest room to play the prank on Hannah. Ashley chuckles before hiding behind the partition and later pops out as Hannah begins to take her blouse off. She chases after Hannah to the door of the lodge but neither she nor the others follow her or Beth into the woods. Chapter 1

   A year later, Ashley returns to the lodge with the rest of her friends. She walks around outside the lodge and sees Mike and Emily in an embrace through a telescope, which she finds odd considering they have broken up. Matt suddenly jumps in front of the telescope and frightens her, coming over to her in a fit of giggles hoping to catch up with her, and wants to have a go on the telescope. Ashley is faced with the dilemma of letting Matt look through it, letting him see Mike and Emily hugging, or insist that the telescope is broken, and lie to him in order to protect him from the truth.

   Chapter 2

   Ashley Lodge Entrance Remake Ashley on the lodge's steps, talking to Chris. Ashley and Chris have a brief conversation on the steps outside the lodge before Chris and Josh try to find a way in. Josh makes a few private comments with Chris about Ashley, suggesting she and Chris have the perfect opportunity to get together, but Chris has his initial doubts.

   Ashley, along with Sam, will laugh at Chris when he is once again scared by a wolverine shooting out the front door after he finally opens it.

   After a fight between either Emily and Jessica or Matt and Mike in the lodge, Josh sends Ashley and Chris off to find a spirit board together as a means of entertainment. He later tells Sam that he wants to give the two of them 'alone time' so they can get together.

   Chapter 3

   She, Chris, and Josh prepare the seance in hopes of contacting a spirit. Despite Chris seeing the whole setup as a joke, Ashley and Josh try to take it seriously as she is handed the role of 'spirit master'. When she starts to ask questions, she finds out she is talking to one of the twins and uncovers details of their demise, pointing to a clue in the library of the lodge. Eventually, the counter files off the table and the whole ordeal upsets Josh, making him leave in a fit of anger.

   Chris and Ashley give Josh some time before getting up to investigate the library, and they discover a secret room behind a bookcase. Chris tells Ashley she should go in and look, but she insists that he should go in instead due to her cowardice. He ends up finding a picture of the twins with a disturbing threat written on the back. When she sees it, she agrees that they should both go and tell Josh. As they search the house for him, Chris starts piecing together the clues that he has found and theorizes that there may be a murderer on the mountain with them, with Ashley being disturbed at the thought.

   The two of them then hear Josh call out for help in the kitchen, and Ashley runs to the source. Chris follows her, but as she peers in through the kitchen door she is pulled in and locked away from Chris. She gets knocked out before Chris bashes the door in and sees Ashley unconscious on the floor. When he looks up, the Psycho is standing before him, knocking him out also.

   Chapter 4

   Ashley and Josh tied up. Ashley and Josh tied up. After Chris wakes up and investigates the lodge looking for Ashley and Josh, he finds himself searching the shed and discovers Ashley's panicked screams, causing him to reassure her that he will find her. The lights turn on and he sees Ashley and Josh through a reinforced window, tied up and hanging from a wall opposite a sawblade on a track.

   The Psycho begins talking to the trio, and gives Chris the ultimatum of saving Ashley or Josh from death. Both will beg Chris not to die; however, no matter who Chris chooses, the saw will kill Josh.

   Chris unties Ashley, both of them panicked, and the two escape the shed. As they're leaving, they encounter Emily and Matt and inform them of the Psycho terrorizing them. They also explain that Josh is dead, though both of them are too traumatized to describe it in detail. Chris and Ashley are told to head back to the lodge to find Sam, while Emily and Matt decide to go to the cable car station to attempt to get help.

   Chapter 5

   Ashley, Chris, and Josh will be briefly mentioned by Matt and Emily, while the couple discuss Josh's death and the mystery surrounding it.

   Chapter 6

   At the lodge, Ashley and Chris find that Sam is missing. After checking the rooms upstairs, they venture into the lower levels of the lodge; while doing so, Ashley will express her gratitude at being saved from the saw trap by Chris. She can find Sam 's bracelet in various places if Sam had been caught by the Psycho (the locations depend on where Sam was caught) and Ashley will say that they have to find Sam fast.

   Ashley grows increasingly scared as she encounters candles lighting themselves, doors closing shut, and ghostly figures seemingly leading her and Chris somewhere. In the basement, they discover a dollhouse, with the dolls arranged to recreate the prank that had been played on Hannah.

   Ashley and Chris exploring the basement. Ashley and Chris exploring the basement. After unlocking the dollhouse, they find Hannah's diary, which Ashley reads.

   Immediately thereafter, a door unlocks, allowing Ashley and Chris to continue. In the next room, they can find a catalogue for industrial light bulbs and a video camera. Ashley can also pick up a pair of scissors at this point, as they are under the light bulb catologue.

   The pair continue and end up in old dilapidated hallways that were part of the original hotel. Here, Ashley expresses doubt at continuing, which Chris empathizes with. The pair briefly discuss the prank they played on Hannah, before pushing on, finding several more clues, including fake newspapers. Ashley then hesitates again, worried what they could be walking into, but Chris manages to persuade her or encourage her to keep looking for Sam.

   Depending on the amount of clues they found, Ashley can voice her suspicions that someone is constructing a story for them and watching how they react. In the next room, they can discover more disturbing material, including the hollowed out body of a pig, bloody hooks and chains, a hit-list of their friends, and a recording of the prank played on Hannah, which causes Ashley to freak out. After Chris calms her down, they continue and find a trail of blood that leads to a heavy door. As Chris is opening it, Ashley spots a figure she believes to be Sam and is faced with the decision of either following Chris or investigating the figure.

   Follow Chris

   If Sam did not escape, they discover a dummy that the Psycho dressed in Sam's clothes - depending on the player's answers to Dr. Hill's questions, the dummy will either be wearing a scarecrow, clown, or zombie mask. Investigate Noise

   Ashley is separated from Chris and runs over to the wall. She catches a glimpse of the Psycho and ducks to avoid him detecting her. After the coast is clear, she walks around the path and meets up with Chris again. Depending on whether or not Sam escaped, Chris can unintentionally scare her with the dummy he found. Afterwards, they hear Sam crying out and venture into the next room, where they find a figure strapped to a chair; depending on whether or not Sam managed to escape the Psycho, the figure will either be a dummy in Sam's clothes, or Sam herself, unconscious. While they're distracted, the Psycho sneaks up behind them and knocks out Chris with sleeping gas.

   Ashley panics and fumbles, causing her to drop the flashlight and waste time picking it back up. If she previously took the scissors, she can attempt to defend herself by stabbing the Psycho with them. However, doing this causes the Psycho to grow angry and, rather than use the sleeping gas, he knocks her out by punching her in the face, giving her a black eye.

   Chris aiming the gun at Ashley. Ashley and Chris wake up and find themselves strapped into chairs with two different saws descending from the ceiling. The Psycho tells Chris from somewhere off-screen that he has another choice to make: he can shoot Ashley and walk free or kill himself and save Ashley.

   If Chris aims the gun at Ashley first, she will plead for him to spare her life, but if Chris aims the gun at himself first, Ashley will tell Chris to give her the gun and let her make the choice to save him, since he had already "saved" her life in the saw trap scene earlier. Chris can choose to shoot Ashley, shoot himself, or not shoot at all.

   Chapter 7

   Regardless of Chris' choice, the Psycho will advance on them as Mike and Sam burst into the room. Ashley shouts at the Psycho to stay away, with Chris attempting to shoot him with the gun, only to realize that it was loaded with blanks. The Psycho mocks this attempt, before revealing himself to be Josh, the whole set-up having been a prank in retaliation for the ones that had caused his sisters' disappearances.

   Ashley and Chris are freed from their restraints by Sam and Mike, who then proceed to question Josh. During the exchange, Ashley remains quiet, seemingly in shock. She and Sam stay at the lodge while Mike and Chris take Josh to the shed to lock him up.

   Chapter 8

   If Emily survived her escape from the mines, she will run back to the lodge and be questioned by Chris, Sam, and Ashley. Ashley will express concern for her well-being and confusion about Matt's disappearance, but the group will be interrupted by a figure banging on the front door. Ashley and the others are later visited by the Stranger, who tells them of the Wendigos that live on the mountain. The group agrees to hide in the basement, but Chris is determined to get Josh, who Mike left in the shed.

   The Stranger will agree to take Chris with him, and depending on the state of their relationship, Ashley will either see Chris off with a kiss and a request that he return safely or stare coldly at him before slamming the door shut. She then locks the door behind them and looks on as Chris and The Stranger leave.

   Chris shot Ashley

   If Chris chose to shoot Ashley while in Josh's trap, their relationship will worsen. This results in Ashley deciding not to open the door if Chris makes it back to the lodge. When Mike appears and sees Chris' decapitated head lying on the ground, she says "it was too late" and appears to be in a daze, as if the reality of what she did had not settled in yet. Mike has to snap her out of it and pulls her along, away from the door. In the remake however, Ashley seems to be less cold about the ordeal, visibly hesitating. When her reluctance leads in Chris' death, she is upset, unlike the original version. Chris shot Ashley and died

   If Chris chose to shoot Ashley, but gets killed by the Wendigos before making it back to the lodge, she will cry at seeing his severed head roll to the door and apologize, before regaining her composure and leaving to join her friends in the basement. Chris didn't shoot Ashley and died

   If Chris did not shoot Ashley but still dies, she will break down and start sobbing at the door, with Mike having to drag her inside and tell her to stay with him. Chris didn't shoot Ashley

   If Chris did not shoot Ashley, she will open the door for him, allowing him to get inside safely before the Wendigo catches up to him. The two then make it to the basement. If Chris had died, Ashley's reaction to it in the safe room will also change regarding his decisions.

   If he tried to shoot her before, she will coldly ignore his death. If he didn't shoot anyone or shot himself, she will appear to be devastated by his death, seeking consolation in her friends. If Emily survived but was bitten during her escape from the Wendigo in the mines, Ashley will notice her bite while the group is huddled around the Stranger's journal. Panicking, she mistakenly believes that Emily will turn into a Wendigo herself, thus putting them all in danger. Mike, agreeing with her, orders Emily to leave. Ashley, backing up Mike's claims gets angry with Emily and tells her to get out of the safe room.

   When Mike escalates the situation by grabbing a gun and pointing it at Emily, Ashley stays quiet. If Mike does not shoot Emily, Ashley says she hopes that he made the right choice, but if he does shoot her, Ashley will become upset and back into a corner, away from Mike. Shortly thereafter, she discovers in the Stranger's book that Wendigo bites are not fatal or infectious and can tell the others.

   If Mike didn't shoot Emily and Ashley chooses to reassure Emily, Emily will become outraged with the others, and Ashley in particular, ultimately slapping her despite Ashley's apologies. If Mike shot Emily, Ashley starts to sob - Chris attempts to comfort her at this point, if he's still alive. Shortly thereafter, the group leaves the "safe room" at Sam's urging and go after Mike.

   If Emily wasn't bitten or didn't survive the mines at all, the former scenario won't happen. Ashley will warn the group about the Wendigos regardless and leave the safe room.

   Chapter 9

   Ashley hears voice Ashley answering the voice in the mines. If Chris is alive, he will ask the others to go without him due to his injured ankle slowing him down. Ashley can insist on him coming with them, or agree and let him rest while they continue. The group carries on, but discovers a locked door that prevents them from following Mike. Ashley finds a manhole they can use to circumvent the obstruction.

   Ashley is the last to descend into the underground passageway, but delays, either to close the manhole or to leave a sign for Chris so he will know where they went. As a result, she gets separated from the others, who went slightly ahead. While she's catching up with them, Ashley hears Jessica's voice come from a side tunnel and is faced with the decision of either investigating the voice or rejoining the others.

   Investigate the Voice

   If Ashley decides to follow the voice, she drops down into the side tunnel and discovers a small room with a trapdoor, from which banging can be heard. Unlocking the trapdoor will cause a Wendigo to reveal itself and decapitate Ashley, before dragging her head and body back to its lair. The Wendigo will now be free to kill Chris if they had left him alone. However, it is possible for Ashley to ignore the trapdoor and exit the small room, allowing her to rejoin the others unscathed. Rejoin the Others

   If Ashley manages to rejoin the group, they will find themselves in a large cavern, with a broken ladder preventing them from progressing. Ashley is then told to go back to the lodge, while Sam will climb the rock wall and find Mike.

   Chapter 10

   If Ashley died before Chapter 10, her body won't be seen in the initial founding of the bodies. Instead, her decapitated head will be shown lying in a cage, and her body will be seen hanging later on as Josh traverses the mines with Mike.

   When Sam and Mike return to the lodge, they will go to the basement, just in time for Ashley and potential other survivors to run out, chased by Wendigos from the Sanatorium. Emily may push past her if she revealed the truth about the bite earlier on, putting Ashley at risk and making her the last one to leave. If Emily had not been bitten, or Ashley concealed the truth she will be the second or first (if Chris died) one to leave. Ashley will run upstairs, but the presence of another Wendigo (Hannah) on the ground floor causes her to freeze up and not move so that the monster cannot detect her.

   Sam and Mike settle on a plan once the Wendigos begin fighting each other, at which point Ashley's fate lies in Sam's hands. If Sam runs for the light switch immediately, she will blow up the lodge while Mike, Emily, and Ashley are still inside, thus killing Ashley. If Mike was attacked earlier on and Emily pushed past her while Sam does not pick an option, the Wendigo will find Ashley, picking her up by the head and gouging her eyes out. However, if Sam distracts the Wendigo, Ashley will be able to run out of the lodge and escape to safety. She is then seen first outside watching the lodge burn as a helicopter flies over to pick up the survivors.

   If Chris did not shoot her and died before dawn, Ashley will sob, expressing sadness and disbelief over the idea of Chris being dead. If Chris shot her earlier, she will claim that she could not move, being too scared to do anything. If Ashley survived until dawn, she will always tell the interviewers that she heard Jessica in the mines. If Ashley stabbed the Psycho, she will say that she stabbed him and tried to get away from him but she didn't know that the Psycho was Josh. If Sam, Mike, Jessica, Matt, and Emily died, she is asked about Josh, whom she believes to have been taken by the Wendigo. She then mentions how Sam and Mike went to find him and that they were all supposed to meet up at the lodge. This dialogue will also play if Emily survived, but did not find Beth's head in the mines. She may also be mentioned during one of Jessica's interviews:

   If both Jessica and Ashley survived, one of the rangers will tell Jessica that Ashley claimed that she heard her voice, to which Jess will respond that it wasn't her. Possible Deaths

   The two are later seen in the lodge listening to Emily and The Stranger's story, and they will accompany each other when walking through the sewers in search of Mike. During the final confrontation, Sam could be the possible cause of Ashley's death if she ran to the switch too early, causing Ashley to be burned alive in the explosion.

   Emily "Em" Davis is one of the eight main protagonists and a playable character in Until Dawn. She was voiced and motion captured by actress Nichole Sakura.

   Appearance

   Emily is a teenage Asian-American girl with shoulder-length black hair styled in a bob and light brown eyes. She has a small birthmark above her left eyebrow.

   During the Prologue, she wears a low-collared cerulean racer jacket, covering a plain white t-shirt in addition to a silver necklace.

   Emily traits remake EmilyPersonality Emily is described in-game as intelligent, resourceful and persuasive, the latter trait being forthright in the remake. She loves fashion, dislikes not getting her way and dreams of getting a job as style editor for a magazine.[1]

   With this passion for fashion and a clear sense of style, Emily enjoys being the center of attention. She's not afraid to drop some serious cash on a piece of designer clothing and also not afraid to let everyone know it. Still, Emily is more than just looks. She also has a shrewd mind, as evidenced by her being an honor roll student with a 4.0 GPA.

   Emily has a quick tongue and a penetrating wit, making her known within the group for her swift verbal put-downs. She is adamant in getting her way and is quick to object when someone's line of thinking is not in accordance with her own. This does mean that she can come across as rather arrogant or 'bitchy.' Despite her self-assertive appearance, there are traces of a vulnerable person beneath when she shows remorse over the disappearance of her friends Hannah and Beth,[2] who went missing after Emily and other group members played a prank on the former a year prior. Dr. Hill suggests Emily's tough exterior is merely a front that belies her lack of confidence. This can be seen when she starts a fight with former best friend Jessica, who angered her after she entered a relationship with her ex-boyfriend Mike sometime before the events of the main game. Emily then started dating Matt, though in reality using him as a rebound. Emily is sensitive to rejection and to being questioned, which comes to a head when she seethes at Matt if their relationship status is low.

   According to Dr. Hill, Emily's greatest fear is failure, a fear she notably shares with Chris. Despite this presumed fear, she proves to be a very capable individual when pushed. While isolated and forced to rely on her own abilities, she displays physical strength, feats of agility, excellent problem-solving skills, and a cool-headed focus during a time of crisis.

   Emily appears to hold grudges. She likes it if Matt threatens her ex Mike and if he argues with her former friend Jessica, her relationship with Matt going up as a result on both occasions. Similarly, Emily displays a vengeful side when endangered by the other characters. When Ashley argues for Emily to leave the basement after discovering a bite wound she believes to be infectious, Emily refuses, and Mike will point a gun at her. When her bite is revealed to be harmless after all, she slaps Ashley and later shoves her when they are chased by Wendigos. She will call out Mike in the police interview for threatening to shoot her. In the same segment, she may also disparage Matt if he jumped to safety and did not try to save her earlier. If he remained on her good side however, she will express concern for his well-being and even admit to her mistreatment of him. Until Dawn

   Biography

   2015

   Emily has a quick tongue and a sharp wit. She's well-known within the group for her withering put-downs, but that does mean that she can come across as a bit of a bitch. Always immaculately dressed, Emily prizes her appearance very highly.

   Chapter Appearances One Year Ago

   In the remake

   Emily is first seen hanging out with Mike, Matt, Ashley, and Sam in the living room. Jessica enters the room and indicates that the prank on Hannah is in motion to which Emily reacts with surprised delight. While Sam lightly attempts to dissuade the group, Jessica defends their actions arguing she is just looking out for "her girl Em" as Hannah was making moves on Emily’s boyfriend Mike. Emily smirks and grabs his hands, proclaiming Mike as her man. While Mike protests, claiming he is "not anyone’s man," Emily lightheartedly dismisses his objection and heads off with the pranksters leaving Sam alone.

   Emily smirk Emily after pranking Hannah. In the guest room, Emily takes an active role in setting the scene by directing everyone to their places: moving Ashley into the wardrobe, ordering Matt behind the partition where he can record the encounter, and seating Mike on the armchair by the fireplace. When Mike and Jess briefly exchange a glance with each other, Emily redirects Jessica away. She listens at the door for Hannah to approach and then hides under the bed beside Jessica. Hannah enters, speaks with Mike, and begins to take off her shirt. Jessica audibly reacts to the display, and while Emily quickly puts her hand to Jessica's mouth to shush her, the prank is exposed just as Sam then barges into the room to try and stop it. The group emerge from their hiding places, and while most seem to visibly regret their role in Hannah's humiliation, Emily smirks. Hannah flees the lodge, and the others follow Hannah up to the back door. Beth, noticing the ordeal, runs after her sister while Emily calls out, "it was just a prank, Han!" In the original game

   In the original game, Emily is first seen in the kitchen alongside Mike, Jessica, and Sam where the latter two are arguing about the prank about to be performed on Hannah. Sam tries to get the group to rethink their actions, but as Emily and Mike are in a relationship, Jessica refutes Sam's protests and contends that she is just looking out for the best interests of "her girl Em." Emily supports Jessica's defense and reaffirms Mike is her man. While Mike protests, claiming he is "not anyone’s man," Emily lightheartedly dismisses his objection and leads the group to the guest room while Sam heads upstairs.

   In the guest room, everyone except Mike finds an appropriate hiding place. Emily and Jessica move under the bed, and she hushes her friend's laughter as Hannah approaches. Hannah begins to remove her clothes in front of Mike and Jessica's laughter exposes the prank. Emily and her friends then reveal themselves to Hannah who dashes out of the room mortified. The group chase after Hannah to the back deck of the lodge but do not follow her into the forest. As Hannah flees into the woods, Emily sarcastically calls out after her, insisting it was all just a prank. Chapter 1

   A year later, she and the others return to the lodge. Emily and her new boyfriend, Matt, begin to walk from the cable car station to the lodge when Mike, who had recently dumped her for Jessica, scares them.

   After Mike and Matt have a conversation, Mike walks off toward the cable car station. Emily tells Matt that she remembered she had to talk to Sam and leaves in the direction Mike walked off. Soon afterwards, while Ashley is looking through the telescope, she sees Emily and Mike having a talk. When Matt asks if she sees anything interesting, she can choose to show the two in an embrace, leaving Matt upset.

   Chapter 2

   Back at the lodge, Emily can engage in a quarrel with Jessica, ultimately ending in Jessica and Mike being sent to the guest cabin, and Emily complaining to Matt about her missing bag.

   Note: the following segment is included in the extended and pre-order editions of the game, as well as the remake.

   Emily and Matt remake Matt and Emily begin to walk back to the cable car station in search for her bag. If Matt fought Mike, Emily will ask him about his motivations behind the attack. If Emily and Jessica fought instead, Matt can either criticize her or tell her that they should start over. They find that the gate leading to the cable car is locked, so they take a detour to take them to the station.

   They find a giant totem, which Emily dares Matt to stick his hand into, before seemingly being sucked into it herself. Matt soon realizes that Emily was just playing a prank on him, but they will be interrupted by a loud mysterious noise in the distance. They continue on their path and find a pig's head alongside a bloody note, with the text "welcome back." They then decide to head back to the lodge.

   Chapter 4

   The couple stumble upon Ashley and Chris, the latter of whom believed he had just killed Josh in order to save Ashley from one of the Psycho's traps. Emily, now frightened, insists that it is best to find help and heads toward the cable car station with Matt.

   Chapter 5

   Emily and Matt reach the cable car station to find that it has been ransacked. They discover that the cable car is suspended away from the station without a key to operate it, so they head towards a fire tower to radio for help. They are pushed back by a herd of deer to the edge of the cliff where Hannah and Beth fell a year before.

   Chapter 6

   Emily manages to get past the deer and, with or without Matt, ventures to the radio tower to signal for help. In the remake, she may find a mysterious whistle on her way to the fire tower, which emits an elk call if she blows into it. Upon arriving, Emily switches on the power and may also find a flare gun, which she will either keep to herself or give it to Matt if he is with her. She contacts the Park Ranger Service, and the ranger on duty promises to dispatch help to the lodge, but because of the inclement weather it will not arrive until dawn.

   Suddenly, the cable supports to the tower are cut by a Wendigo, which causes the tower to fall. Emily falls out of one of the tower's windows. The tower catches on fire, falls over, and slides downwards into the mines where it then collapses into itself. If Matt is still alive, he will find her holding on to a part of the tower and will attempt to help her up. If Matt sided with Jessica during the argument, she will show aggression towards him. Matt may reassure her, but can also confront her about her feelings towards Mike or about her demeanor towards him. He will then decide to try to save Emily or jump to safety, but she will fall regardless of his decision.

   Chapter 7

   Emily survived (remake) Emily survived her fall. Emily is shown to have survived her fall due to a rope catching her foot, suspending her upside down. After swinging to a ledge, her knee will be injured when the tower collapses deeper into the mines. She explores the mines looking for Matt and an exit, possibly finding clues about the disappearance of Beth and Hannah on her way.

   During that time she will hear mysterious screeches and see flames coming from a flamethrower. She eventually makes her way to the elevator. After stepping out, she comes into contact with the Stranger, whom she believes to be the killer, and hides from. Emily is either caught, or attempts to make a run for it, but her path eventually leads to a dead end, where the Stranger tries to find and assist her, despite her initial impression of him.

   Chapter 8

   Emily escapes zip line Escaping death. After discovering no way out, she soon encounters the Stranger who, as a Wendigo attacks, reveals himself to be friendly despite her protests for him to get away. She is given a bag of flares and falls down deeper into the mines as the Stranger keeps the Wendigo at bay. She will try to find another way out but is quickly attacked by the Wendigo.

   During her escape, Emily may be killed by having her eyes gouged out. She is chased into a mine elevator which takes her to the above ground mining facility. She scrambles up a conveyor belt with a Wendigo on her tail, during which she may fall into an ore grinder from the conveyor belt and be killed. If she survives, she may be bitten if she gave Matt the flare gun, shot the flare to signal for help, or never found it in the first place. She escapes the Wendigo by either falling or zip lining down the ridge back towards the lodge where she finds safety with the others.

   Emily, in shock of what had just occurred, struggles to explain the situation to the other members. Chris may ask her what happened or be concerned about her or Matt's well-being, but their conversation will quickly be interrupted when someone bangs on the door. At this point, the Stranger enters the lodge and explains the Wendigo to them. Emily waits with Sam, Mike, and Ashley while Chris attempts to retrieve Josh from a shed outside.

   Emily basement 2024 Emily cowers in fear when Mike considers shooting her. Once he returns without Josh or doesn't return at all, the group hides in the basement where Ashley may discover Emily's bite. If so, they worry that it may be contagious. Ashley claims that the Stranger told them that being bitten by a Wendigo will transform you into one. Mike agrees with Ashley and demands Emily to leave the room. Upon her refusal, he picks up the revolver and aims it at Emily's head. He can either shoot her in the eye or say that he can't go through with it and put down the gun.

   Ashley picks up The Stranger's Journal and begins to read through it. On the final page, she discovers that the Wendigo's bite is, in fact, not infectious. If she reveals to the group that Emily is going to be safe, and Emily survived the previous encounter, she becomes angered at the thought of her almost dying for no reason and slaps Ashley.

   Chapter 9

   Emily, along with Sam, Ashley, and potentially Chris, try to locate Mike by heading through the lodge tunnel to the Sanatorium. The group soon discovers that Mike locked the door behind him, and they travel through the mines upon Ashley's suggestion. As Sam asks who wants to descend into the tunnels first, Emily replies "after you." She and Sam, and possibly Ashley and Chris, find a huge rock wall blocking their path. Emily, still recovering from her earlier time in the mines, turns around and heads back to the lodge with the rest of the survivors while Sam climbs up a rock wall.

   Chapter 10

   Group Lodge Burn Emily and the other survivors watch the lodge burn. If Emily had died while attempting to escape from the Wendigo, her body will be found hanging along with Chris, Jessica and Matt (if they had died before this point), and the Stranger when Sam and Mike visit the Wendigo's lair. If the Wendigo had caught her and gouged her eyes out, her body will be whole. If she fell into an ore grinder and died, her body will be hanging from head to stomach. If Emily was shot by Mike, her body will not be found with the other corpses.

   If alive, Emily and whoever is left all flee from the basement to the lobby floor as the Wendigos chase after them, only to be stopped in their tracks by another Wendigo waiting for them. If Ashley concealed the truth about Emily's bite, or if she wasn't bitten at all, Emily will be the last one to leave. However, if Ashley reassured Emily, she will push Ashley into the wall, putting her at risk and making her the last one to leave. If Chris and Ashley ran outside the lodge first and Sam failed the first Don't Move challenge while succeeding the second Don't Move challenge, Emily will be threatened by a Wendigo. Sam here has the option of either saving Emily or running to the switch.

   If Sam does nothing, Emily will be attacked by the Wendigo and have her eyes gouged out. If Sam chooses to run to the switch too early, Emily and the remaining members of the group (Mike and Ashley) will die in the explosion. If successful, Emily runs outside the lodge before the lodge explodes, killing all the Wendigos inside. She and the others that survived watch the lodge burn as the sun rises in the background, and a rescue helicopter is seen approaching them for pickup.

   Remake

   Emily Interview Remake Original

   Until Dawn™ 20150827214341 After the survivors are picked up, they are interviewed by the police. The number and nature of her interviews depend on the choices made.

   If Emily was bitten, she angrily tells them that Mike pointed a gun at her and almost shot her. If her relationship with Matt is high and Matt died, she will express remorse over not treating him better. If her relationship with Matt is high and Matt survived, she asks if they are done looking at him and hopes that Matt still wants to be her boyfriend despite her being a "bitch" to him. If her relationship with Matt is low and Matt died, she will tell the police to not put an effort into looking for him because he abandoned her at the radio tower (regardless of whether he tried to save her or not, or if he fell from the cliff). If her relationship with Matt is low and Matt survived, she will tell the police to be rough with him since he left her for dead (regardless of whether he tried to save her or not). If Sam, Mike, Jessica and Matt have all died and she found Beth's head, she will explain the Wendigo to the police and report about her discoveries in the mines, most notably Beth's head. Once asked about Josh by the interviewers, she will state that Josh is most likely dead and that his body is probably in the mines. She may also be mentioned by Matt and Mike.

   If Matt survived the night while Emily died in the lodge, he will learn of her demise and will be extremely dumbfounded before breaking down. If Matt survived the night while Emily was killed by Mike, he will learn of her demise and will be very confused. If Mike survived the night and killed Emily, he will confess to murdering her but will try to defend his position by claiming that she was infected and that he needed to stop her. Additionally, if Matt survives the night, he will always allude to not being good enough to save Emily at the fire tower. Possible Deaths

   Possible Deaths Killed Victims

   Ashley (Indirect, determinant)[4] Relationships

   Hannah and Beth

   When alive, Hannah wasn't taken seriously by Emily, who was dating the guy Hannah had a crush on - Mike. Emily was quick to agree with Jessica's idea of the prank, before becoming an enthousiastic and active participant, assigning the pranksters to their respective hiding places. Even after an upset Hannah storms out of the room, Emily is seen smirking with satisfaction and later dismissively calls out "it was just a prank, Han!" Beth calls Emily, along with Ashley, Jessica, Matt, and Mike, jerks for pranking her sister. However, while Emily does not talk about her involvement in the prank a year later, she will show remorse for their disappearance after finding clues about the sisters in the fire tower and mines. Emily may find Beth's head in the latter location, leading her to later inform her friends and possibly the police.

   Regardless of this, Hannah, as a Wendigo, will stalk Emily in the mines before eventually chasing her down. If caught, Hannah will grab Emily's face and stare at her momentarily while hissing, implying she may recognize Emily and remember what she did to her, before sadistically gouging her eyes out.

   Ashley

   Emily and Ashley are neutral friends at the start of the game. Emily will comfort Ashley if Chris died while trying to go back to the lodge. However, their friendship may be severely damaged if Ashley argues to exile Emily from the basement after the survivors notice that Emily had been bitten. If Emily finds out that the Wendigo bite is harmless, she will respond by initially slapping Ashley, then later pushing Ashley out of the way when the survivors are escaping from the lodge basement during the final Wendigo attack. That being said, if Emily got shot by Mike, Ashley will seem frightened by him as she is seen stepping away after he tries comforting her.

   Relationship Decreases

   If Emily was bitten but wasn't shot by Mike and Ashley tells the truth about the bites, her relationship with Ashley will drop to zero in the original game, and decrease significantly in the remake. Chris

   Emily and Chris have a positive relationship but are rarely seen interacting together in-game. Though when Chris and Ashley make their way out of the shed, panicking over Josh's "death," they will bump into Matt and Emily. Emily will ask them what happened, express her disbelief and will insist on getting help. Chris can accuse her of just wanting to save herself. When Emily makes her way back to the lodge after her mine escape, Chris will interrogate her about what happened or express concern about her or Matt's well-being. If Emily was bitten and Chris is alive at that point, he will support the idea of Emily leaving the basement out of fear for the Wendigos from his previous encounter, but won’t explicitly state that Emily should be put down. If Emily is shot by Mike, Chris will appear to be shocked by her death.

   Jessica

   See Emily and Jessica for more information.

   In the year after, they have developed an antagonistic relationship due to Mike's new relationship with Jessica, leaving Emily torn up from being dumped by Mike and feeling betrayed by her former friend. Emily and Jessica have an argument about Mike which can be encouraged or diffused by Matt. While talking to Mike, Jessica calls Emily a whore and tells him that she hopes Emily gets eaten by a bear.

   Josh

   Josh is the only protagonist who does not directly interact with Emily throughout the game. Their relationship is low on both ends, presumably due to Emily's persistent involvement in the prank. Josh will end the argument between her and Jess. Even though Emily played a big part in the prank against Hannah, Josh did not actively seek revenge against her, though this could be because the Wendigos got in the way of Josh's initial prank. Emily will show disbelief and shock if Josh "died" in the shed and will insist on getting help.

Furthermore, attempting to rescue her from the toppled radio tower, he can choose to confront her over her ex, and his persistence can get Emily to reassure him she and Mike are done. Despite this, Matt has the option to risk his own life to save Emily, or jump to his own safety during the radio tower collapse.

   By the end of the game, Emily may show concern over his well-being. If Matt died while trying to save her, she will feel guilt for not treating him better and not doing enough to save him. If he survived and they had a positive relationship, she will ask the interviewers about Matt and worries that he may not know how "devoted" she is to him.

If alive, she will express disgust for him in the police interview.

   Relationship Decreases

   If Emily was bitten and Mike spares her after pointing the gun at her, her relationship with Mike will drop to zero in the original game, and decrease significantly in the remake. Sam

   Sam and Emily appear to get along well. Although Sam was upset by Emily’s involvement in prank, the two seem to have gotten back on good terms before the second lodge visit. This is shown by their relationship statuses being relatively good with one another and Emily telling Matt that she needs to talk to Sam before they get back to the lodge. If Emily is bitten, Sam defends her by telling the others that they don’t know for sure that the bite will turn her into a Wendigo. If Emily was killed by Mike, Sam will be shocked and saddened by her death, and her relationship with Mike will drop to zero. If Emily survives and Ashley reveals that the bites are harmless, Sam expresses relief, telling Emily she’ll be alright. Emily can also voice worry over Sam’s well-being in the mines, telling her to make it back. Sam can be the possible cause of Emily’s death if she ran to the switch early, causing Emily (as well as Mike and potentially Ashley) to be burned alive in the explosion.

   Personality

   Sam and I have a few things in common, such as being huge lovers of animals, she's vegan. She's a pacifist, I'm not quite sure if I'm going to say that I am a pacifist, but she's spunky and cool. I think that she's made fun of a little bit by the rest of them who think that her morals and beliefs in that area are a little ridiculous and they don't agree with them, but she doesn't care. It doesn't stop her from being herself. And that's something I hope I have in common with her. HAYDEN PANETTIERE ON SAM

She loves animals, dislikes violence and dreams of becoming a conservationist.[1] With a warm attitude and an infectious charm, Sam is the kind of person people tend to gravitate towards. She's developed a solid relationship with all members of her diverse friend group and enjoys spending time with them. While she has a silly side, Sam seems to be the most level-headed member of the Blackwood Pines clique: she is rarely the cause of any drama.

   She often spends a lot of time outdoors, allowing her to indulge her love for nature, wildlife and adventure. She occasionally carries food around to share with small woodland critters, and her fondness for animals has no doubt influenced her decision to be a vegan. Though her strong moral beliefs sometimes set her apart from her friends, she remains unwavering in her values. She's also an athletic, adept young woman who's skilled at running and rock climbing, but is just as comfortable relaxing on her own with music and candlelit baths.

   According to Dr. Hill, Sam's greatest fear is the supernatural. While Sam draws happiness from nature, she finds the occult to be unsettling, so when her friends find a Ouija Board and talk about having a séance, Sam promptly ducks out.

In fact, while she has a resolute confidence in herself and her beliefs, she nonetheless has trouble standing up to the more strong-willed members of the group like Jessica or Mike when they're doing something she thinks is wrong. Even when Hannah becomes infatuated with Mike despite the fact he's dating their friend Emily, Sam makes excuses rather than address the problem with Hannah. Despite her responsible nature, she's unable to stop the prank that's played on Hannah and is devastated by the humiliation and subsequent disappearance of the Washington girls that results from it.

   Despite how the prior year went, Sam is committed to the well-being of her friends. Her attendance at the Washington Lodge comes down to her desire to move past the past tragic events, honor the memory of Hannah and Beth, and focus on healing relationships with her friends, particularly Josh. As the night spirals out of control, Sam is repeatedly able to push past her fears and fight in order to save herself and her friends. Sam demonstrates calmness, decisiveness and bravery when under pressure, proving herself to be one of the most capable members of the group. ADVERTISEMENT

   Chapter Appearances One Year Ago

   In the remake

   Sam Jessica Prologue Sam argues with Jessica over the impending prank on Hannah. Sam is first seen sitting on a sofa among the rest of the group (with the exception of Hannah, Beth, Josh and Chris). She is seen drawing sketches of her friends, when Jessica enters the room to give the signal to get ready for the prank on Hannah. Sam's drawing of Hannah was used by the pranksters as the back of the note. Sam argues with Jessica that the prank is cruel and that it's not Hannah’s fault that she has a crush on Mike, but Jessica quickly shuts this down, saying Hannah has been making moves on him and she wants to look out for "her girl Em," who was dating Mike. As Emily reaffirms this, the group heads upstairs while a worried Sam shakes her head. As opposed to the original game, Sam is not seen trying to warn Hannah. Sam later bursts into the guest room, finding an upset and humiliated Hannah. She turns on the light and apologizes on the group's behalf, but Hannah quickly runs off, out of the lodge and into the woods. Sam calls the pranksters jerks and when Mike suggests going after Hannah, Sam notes that Mike is probably the last person Hannah would want to see. In the original game

   Sam Group Original Sam discourages the group about the impending prank on Hannah. In the original opening cinematic, Sam is shown discouraging Jessica and the others about the plan to play a prank on Hannah. While they head off to take their places in the guest room, Sam heads upstairs to Hannah's wing of the lodge. Sam tries to find Hannah and warn her, but reaches her too late, right after the others have played their prank on her. Sam is distressed at how out of hand the situation has gotten and attempts to comfort her friend. She tries to talk to her, but Hannah runs away, out of the lodge and into the woods. As Beth runs after her sister, Sam discourages Mike from pursuing them as he would be the last person Hannah would want to see. Chapter 1

   A year later, Josh invites all his friends back to his lodge on the mountain. Sam is seen on a bus and listening to a radio segment about the anniversary of Hannah and Beth's disappearance and then later watches a video of Josh inviting them all back to the lodge. After she gets off the bus, Sam is greeted by the tall, metal gate into Blackwood Pines. On the bars is a note from Chris that says, "The gate's busted, climb over!"

   She can then try to open the gate, but that will have no effect. Sam then walks to the stone wall on the left and can choose the safe or the quick way to climb the wall to the other side. In any case, she climbs the wall using QTEs from the player. If the player fails at any, Sam will simply drop back down and have to start over again. After climbing over the wall, Sam drops down and starts walking again. On the way, she sees a squirrel and holds out an open hand with food in it. This starts the player's first Don't Move segment, and if the player moves, the squirrel will run away.

   Sam comes across a sign detailing Indigenous tribes who once inhabited the mountain, and their beliefs that butterflies showed prophecies. The colors of the butterflies indicated what the possible nature of the prophecy was. Below the sign, Sam finds a totem with yellow details, indicating it to be a Guidance totem.

   After setting it down, Sam turns and is at the cable car station, which leads to the Washington lodge. To the left of the station, she can find a map of the mountain with red graffiti on it, saying, "THE PAST IS BEYOND OUR CONTROL." Going to the station, Sam sees Chris' backpack on a bench, but not the man himself. While in front of the bag, Sam notices Chris' buzzing phone sticking out of it. She can then choose between closing his bag or snooping on his phone. Either choice will lead to the butterfly effect named "Any of Your Business."

   Chris and Sam in cable car Sam and Chris in the cable car. Chris then appears behind Sam and tells her that he "found something kinda amazing" and takes her to the back of the station. On the way, she can see a Wanted Poster and mention it to him. Chris shows her a shooting range and asks her if she wants to try shooting. She declines and watches Chris practice. After a few shots, he can decide to shoot a squirrel. If Chris does, a raven will attack Sam and injure her forehead. They then walk over to the station's door and Sam finds it locked; Chris explains Josh wants it locked to "keep people out." Chris unlocks the door, and she watches the car come down the line while Chris can explore the station. After, they enter the cable car when it comes. During the ride, she learns of how Chris and Josh became best friends.

   The duo then meet up with Jessica at the upper cable car station, where they can learn of her new relationship with Mike (whether or not Sam looked at Chris' phone). As Jessica insists on waiting, the other two head towards the lodge where they meet Josh, Ashley, and Matt.

   Chapter 2

   Until Dawn™ 20150903210213 "Monked" by Chris Sam is shown to be aware of Chris' crush on Ashley as she often teases him about it. Along with Matt and Ashley, she will wait outside for Chris to open the lodge door. When he does, Sam and Ashley will laugh at Chris' reaction to the wolverine's escape. Inside, as things escalate between Mike, Matt, Jess and Emily, Sam opts to stay out of it along with Chris and Ashley. When everyone else defuses and leaves the lodge, she decides to take a bath. After Sam finds out there's no hot water, she can look around (specifically Hannah's room for clues about the twins) before going downstairs to tell Josh about the lodge's water problem.

   When she heads down, Sam can overhear Josh telling Chris and Ashley about a spirit board somewhere in the lodge. He then tells both to go find it, and he'll help Sam. Josh grabs a flashlight from a drawer near the cinema room doors and says that he teamed Chris and Ashley up because they could use some "alone time." She can choose to be mocking or flattering about their relationship.

   She then follows Josh down the basement. Once they get there, he tells Sam he is grateful everyone has come and thanks her personally for coming. She can either reassure him or admit to feeling uneasy about coming back. They both head down the stairs into the basement, and Josh makes a comment about the broken step to her. Josh then opens a cupboard in the basement for the boiler. Sam can then discover a baseball bat resting inside it, which leads to the butterfly effect, "Something for Later." If she does find it, Sam can either serious or humorous about it.

   Either way, Josh comments on it, then puts down the baseball bat in a box. As they stand near the boiler controls Sam turns and hears a noise, but Josh ignores it. He then tells her to shine the flashlight in the boiler so he can see what he's doing. This starts a Don't Move segment, and if Sam moves, she will shine the flashlight over to where she heard the noise. Josh will tell her to move it back, and the segment will start over.

   Josh then tells her to increase the water pressure before starting the boiler. The player must turn the red knob and press the button once the red light on the right side of the panel turns on. If this task is failed twice, Josh tells her how to do it. Once it's done, Sam can high-five Josh with a QTE. After completing their task, both hear a noise again, and Josh taunts Sam about it. She can choose to either protest or prank him. After, a repeating banging is heard and they investigate, only to be chased by a robed individual. When they reach the top of the stairs, the unknown figure is then revealed to be Chris playing a prank on them. Sam gets annoyed while Josh jokes about her reaction. As they leave the basement, Sam hesitantly admits the prank "had a slight whiff of humor to it." When meeting up with Ashley again, Sam decides not to get involved in the Ouija board affair and to finally take a warm bath.

   Chapter 3

   Sam is mentioned very briefly in this chapter by Chris, when he tells Ashley about he and Sam finding the Wanted Poster at the cable car station in order to piece together the clues of the "criminal on the mountain."

   Chapter 4

   Sam does not physically appear in this chapter, but she is mentioned a few times. After the situation with Ashley and Josh, Chris tells Matt and Emily where he thinks Sam is located (in the lodge). The couples decide that Chris and Ashley should look for Sam, while Matt and Emily go and get help.

   Chapter 5

   Sam is later seen using earbuds to listen to classical music in the bath, with her eyes closed. The Psycho is seen standing behind her, looking at her. As he closes the door, the candles around the bath get snuffed out by the draft, which causes her to remove her earbuds and call out to her friends, thinking it's them. As she wraps up in a towel, she notices that her clothes have gone missing. She gets annoyed, thinking that her friends are tricking her. In the lodge, she notices lit candles and red balloons with arrows on them that lead her to the cinema room. The Psycho shows up near the stairs, waiting for her to enter. Sam doesn't notice him, and instead grabs the flashlight from the nearby drawer and walks into the room. Annoyed at whoever is pranking her, she calls out at them before the door violently slams behind her. Sam screams, then the Psycho starts talking to her and shows projects a video he recorded of her taking the bath, and the video of Josh being sawed in half from Chapter 4. Following this, the Psycho gives her ten seconds (though he actually gives her three) then comes in the room and starts chasing her.

   Until Dawn™ 20150903234227 Sam escaping. Sam will only escape if she makes the following choices (in order of occurrence):

   She runs OR throws the vase, then immediately picks jump after she encounters the bed, or kicks the Psycho when hiding. After she runs down the stairs, she runs straight to the next hallway OR hides, turns off her light, stays still, then runs and hits the Psycho with a baseball bat. Note that even if you fail to stay still, you can still hit the Psycho with a bat once he's caught you and escape. After moving through the wine cellar, Sam will walk towards the camera down a long hallway. She will then have to choose between running and hiding. She must choose to hide in the dumbwaiter, then turn off her light and stay still. However, it is possible for Sam to make all the correct choices and still be captured. If she was attacked by the raven in Chapter 1 due to Chris shooting the squirrel, the wound on her head will reopen during her fall, causing her to leave droplets of blood that alert the Psycho to her final hiding spot in the dumbwaiter. The player will not be prompted to turn off the flashlight or stay still if this is the case.

   The Psycho will either capture Sam (and the others) by either a gas mask or a syringe, depending on what the player chooses in the sessions with Dr. Hill. Sam is captured if she makes any of the following choices:

   Until Dawn™ 20150903234238 Sam getting captured. She stays under the bed, chooses to grab the bed, or fails to kick the Psycho when prompted. Failing the "Don't Move" prompt in the wine cellar, or failing to turn off the flashlight. Hiding in the wine cellar for too long, or failing to defend herself if she has the baseball bat within her reach. She goes through the door to the left of her after passing through the door with no handle. Failing the "Don't Move" prompt in the dumbwaiter, or failing to turn off the flashlight. These prompts will automatically be failed if Sam was attacked by the raven in Chapter 1. She runs further down the hallway instead of hiding in the dumbwaiter. Unable to make a choice when it comes. Chapter 6

   Sam is also mentioned in this chapter several times by Chris and Ashley, worried about her whereabouts and well-being. If Sam was caught, she will be found unconscious in a chair by Chris and Ashley. Otherwise, a dummy will be wearing her clothes and will be in the chair instead.

   Chapter 7

   If Sam was caught by the Psycho, she will be awoken by Mike, who is on the other side of a wall, only seen through a wall grate. Sam is tied to a chair by her wrists and ankles. Mike tells her to move over to the grate, and he will use the machete or the lighter to free her from the ties on her wrists, then gives it to her so she can cut the ones on her ankles. Mike asks if she's okay, and Sam can either answer curiously or shocked at his state. Next, he asks her to find a way to unlock the door for him to enter the basement. Looking around (still in the towel), Sam finds a video camera, then her backpack with the flashlight in it on a door. If Sam was not caught, she will snoop around the basement and see the Psycho messing around with some controls. Here she can find multiple clues leading to the true identity of the Psycho, such as the Psychiatric Report, a Remembrance Board and a Voice Recording.

   Sam locates a door and is able to open it, which leads to Mike. After reuniting, Sam will tell Mike to turn around so she can put on new clothes. They exit and will find Chris and Ashley strapped into a trap the Psycho has set for them, with another camera on a tripod recording everything. As they approach, the Psycho pulls off his mask to reveal that he is actually, to their shock and horror, Josh. Josh reveals that he played a prank on all of them, like the prank they played on Hannah, but this time his games were not lethal. Sam and the others listened to Josh's explanation of how he faked his own death. When Chris and Mike take Josh away, Sam stays behind in the lodge with Ashley.

   Chapter 8

   Sam will next be seen if Emily returns to the lodge. She and Ashley will comfort Emily, and then a mysterious man will appear. All the friends listen to the Stranger's warnings about the Wendigos, and Sam points out the basement would be a good safe place to stay. He agrees, and the group heads down to the basement. They end up staying at the Old Hotel, inside the Psycho's monitor room.

   If Chris perishes while looking for Josh, she will next be seen comforting Ashley. The group, consisting of Sam, Mike, Ashley, and potentially Emily and Chris, then looks through the Stranger's belongings. When Ashley finds out that Emily had been bitten, Sam is the sole person in the group that pleads for Mike not to shoot her.

   After Ashley looks through the Stranger's journal, the group finds new information about the Wendigos. The group decides to warn Mike (presumably about the fact that there are plenty of Wendigos imprisoned in the Sanatorium, which Mike did not know) and leave the lodge to travel to the Sanatorium.

   Chapter 9

   While venturing to the Sanatorium, Sam tries to open the door and realizes that Mike locked the doors behind him. Ashley suggests traveling through a sewer grate instead and is supported by the rest of the group. This forces the group to climb down into the sewers (which leads into the mines), with Sam going first.

   The group almost reaches the Sanatorium, when they find most of the scaffolding leading up destroyed, blocking their path. The other survivors tell Sam that they are unable to climb the rock wall, so Sam proceeds by herself after telling them to head back to the lodge. While climbing, Sam has multiple choices as she climbs up, with QTE's to follow. After climbing the wall, Sam will stumble upon Mike in one of two situations. If Mike failed to blow up the large barrels of gasoline during the dual-Wendigo pursuit in the Sanatorium basement, Sam will find him there, holding off a Wendigo. If Mike successfully blew up the basement, a single Wendigo will have survived and Sam will find Mike bursting through a door in the mines, a burned-up Wendigo in pursuit.

   Sam'sJump Sam's jump in the wooden structure of the mines Regardless, Sam will use whatever weapon she has available (a pipe or a shovel, depending on which route you took) to beat the Wendigo off of Mike. If the Wendigo was burned, she will decapitate it. If it was not, and thus she and Mike are still in the Sanatorium, she will beat it back into the gasoline barrels and Mike will proceed to shoot them with his shotgun, blowing up the basement and causing them both to flee the building before heading back down to the mines together.

   Chapter 10

   Mike and Sam begin to look for Josh in order to retrieve the cable car keys that he had stolen. On their way to the Wendigo's lair, Mike can inform Sam (depending on what he discovered in the Sanatorium) about how one of the miners transformed into a Wendigo, and he thinks it was the one they just dealt with. She and Mike can discover the truth about what happened to Hannah and Beth one year ago. They find a grave with Beth's watch in it. As Sam and Mike are wading through the underground lake, Sam can choose to not follow Mike and instead go left out of the water, which leads to them finding the Scrawled Journal. They find out after the fall, Hannah later dug Beth up to eat her body when she was starving. It slowly descends into scribbles, mainly depicting how Hannah was "hungry." Sam deduces that Hannah buried Beth, who died from falling into the mines. Soon afterwards, Sam and Mike find Josh talking to himself in a cave. If Sam learned the truth about Hannah, she will attempt to tell him before being cut off by Mike. Since Josh was not physically or mentally prepared to climb out of the mines, Sam climbs out by herself while Mike escorts Josh through the sewers.

   Sam climbs out of the mines and runs back to the lodge. When she gets to the lodge, she pleads with the other survivors, if there are any, to let her back in, but gets no response. Mike, having just escaped from the mines as well, appears behind her and tells her that they need to get into the lodge, causing Sam to break through the window with a rock. They travel to the basement to see if there are any survivors and are instantly greeted by either Ashley, and/or Emily, and/or Chris (if any of them survive, depending on the player's decisions) fleeing upstairs from Wendigos in the basement. At the door, Sam can either follow them or lock the door. If the other survivors are all dead, Mike would spot the approaching Wendigos and flee with her out of the basement upstairs.

   Sam death inches away Death inches away Sam runs upstairs and finds everyone else frozen in their tracks. She looks up and sees that a multitude of Wendigos, including Hannah, have broken into the lodge. This triggers a Don't Move segment, and if she moves at all, Hannah will pounce at the remaining survivors, injuring Mike in the process. If she stays still, the Wendigos then began fighting each other, causing a gas leak, as one of them is thrown onto the gas pipe for the fireplace.

   Mike and Sam notice the leak and non-verbally coordinate a plan to incinerate the lodge by switching on a broken light bulb to ignite the gas. After Mike breaks the lightbulb, any remaining survivors will flee the lodge one at a time, with Mike being the last person to escape. Sam can choose to run to the light switch at any time, but doing so before Mike and any other survivor(s) flee the lodge will result in their deaths.

   Sam turning on the switch Turning on the switch In her choice to save Mike, she must yell to attract Hannah's attention as it patrolled near him. Throughout the Don't Move sequences after, failing to stay still at critical moments will result in Sam's death by impalement in the stomach. Regardless of the player's actions, Sam will always survive until the very end and can only die from Hannah in the lodge. As Sam runs to the switch (should this happen), a slow-motion sequence shows Hannah pouncing at another Wendigo who is lunging at Sam.

   After the lodge explodes, the rangers that Emily radioed will arrive and pick up any remaining survivors on Blackwood Mountain.

   Depending on the actions of the player's choices, Sam's dialogue may vary.

   In her first interview tape, she will admit how she feels betrayed by Josh, believing that they had established a connection after his sisters' deaths. She also rebukes the interviewer's effort to get her to open up about it. If Mike died, she will say how it is her fault that Mike died as she didn't stay still like she was supposed to. She then tells the police that they need to launch an investigation at the North West Mines, stating that the horrors she witnessed would make her "give anything to unsee it." She may also be mentioned by Ashley.

   Should Ashley survive the night, while Sam, Mike and Jessica do not, she will briefly mention Sam, saying Sam and Mike went to find Josh and that everyone was supposed to meet up with them. The Scar's Awakening

   Sam Epilogue Sam notices her scar. If Sam survived in the 2024 version of the game, she is seen in her home in Los Angeles, California a few years after the game, where her phone’s work alarm wakes her up at 6 AM. Sam is shown to have books about Indigenous myths and the Wendigo, along with multiple bottles of antidipressants, implying that she struggles to cope with the events on Blackwood Mountain. When she wakes up and shuts off the alarm, she notices a strange scar on her arm bleeding nonstop, while a strange, red mist engulfs her. As she tries to stop the bleeding, the voice of Dr. Hill calls out her name.[3]

She attempts to warn Hannah about the prank set up by her friends. Sam arrives in the guest room too late and tries to comfort Hannah, telling her that the others were just playing a stupid prank. When Hannah runs away, Sam chastises her friends for their behavior, calling them jerks. In the remake, the pranksters use one of Sam’s sketches of Hannah to help them lure Hannah, because of this, Hannah believed that Sam was in on setting her up with Mike. Therefore, she likely assumed Sam was involved in the prank. As a Wendigo, can kill Sam by impaling her in the abdomen if given the chance. When Sam runs to the light switch at the end, Hannah attacks a miner Wendigo who had been leaping at Sam.

After Sam goes missing, Ashley and Chris return to the lodge to search for her. Though Ashley is terrified of the Psycho and wishes to leave, Chris is able to convince her to continue on for Sam’s sake. When Chris wonders if the Psycho killed Sam, Ashley will become distressed and tell him not to say that. She shows concern for Sam, becoming frightened when she discovers Sam’s clothes and bracelet. When Chris and Ashley are stuck in the gun trap, Sam and Mike help them. If Chris dies by failing his chase, Sam holds Ashley’s hands and comforts her. If Ashley caused Chris’s death, Sam still attempts to comfort her but Ashley will brush off the concern irritably. If Emily is bitten, Mike doesn't shoot her, and Ashley reveals that the bites are actually harmless, Sam defends Ashley's actions to a furious Emily, saying Ashley acted how she did because she was scared.

In the prologue, a picture shows Sam and Josh hanging out with Matt, Chris, and Mike. While at the lodge the following year, Sam and Josh go down to the basement together to turn on the hot water. On the way to the boiler, Josh tells Sam that he is glad she came back to the lodge. He shows concern for her a few times in the basement, stating that he doesn’t want her to be down there alone, going with her to explore the source of the noise, and attempting to shield her after the two are chased by Chris wearing a disguise. Sam is supportive of Josh, reassuring him that she and the others are there for him. They can potentially talk about Josh’s memories of his family, and they enjoy teasing each other, such as when Sam tricks Josh into looking behind him.

   As the Psycho, Josh torments Sam by stealing her clothes and having her watch footage of both herself bathing and his faked death. He then chases her through the lodge while taunting her efforts to escape. If he does not capture her, she will discover his workshop and read his medical file. When he reveals himself, she will then note that his fingerprints were all over the mystery, and that he wanted to get caught as a cry for help. While Sam goes along with the plan to keep Josh outside, she will become upset if Chris admits to having hit him.

   See Mike and Sam for more information.

   Mike and Sam have markedly different personalities that can put them at odds with each other. At the beginning of the game, Mike and Sam conflict due to Mike’s involvement in the prank against Hannah. However, their trust and support for each other gradually increases as the situation becomes more dire, forcing both of them to take action and eventually depend on each other for survival.

   The two team up on several occasions. They run into each other after Mike leaves the sanatorium, and Sam can show concern towards Mike if he’d amputated his fingers. Together, they hurry to save Chris and Ashley. In the safe room they, along with Emily, discuss the best survival plan for the group. Eventually, Sam and Mike meet up in the mines and work together to survive an attack by a Wendigos and reach Josh. Despite their differing temperaments, they share survival skills and resourcefulness which allows them to rely on each other and develop a strong mutual trust towards the end.

   Sam’s relationship with Mike is greatly impacted by Emily’s bite. If Mike decides to spare Emily, his stat with Sam will significantly rise, and she will state that he made a good decision. If he decides to kill Emily, he will become Sam’s lowest relationship. Regardless, the two of them will work together in the final scene to come up with the plan to explode the lodge. Mike can defend Sam from the Wendigo which will give him a fatal wound. If Sam gets Mike killed, either by needing rescue or by lighting the lodge too early, she’ll express grief and regret during her interviews.

   In Mike’s base stats, Sam is tied with Chris and Josh for third place. In Sam’s base stats, Mike is tied with Jessica, following Josh, Matt, Chris, Emily, and Ashley.

   Christopher "Chris" Hartley is one of the eight main protagonists and a playable character in Until Dawn. He was voiced and motion captured by actor Noah Fleiss.

   Appearance

   Chris, much like Hannah, wears black rectangular-framed glasses. He has blue eyes and dirty blond hair worn in a faux-hawk style.

   In the Prologue, Chris wears a red-patterned designed plaid shirt and a pair of jeans.

   A year later, he dons a layered light blue jacket over a green commando-style sweater, blue collared shirt, and a white undershirt with the words "Merch. 1605" and "loosefit" on it.[1]

   Early on in the game, he receives a large bruise on the left side of his forehead from one of the encounters with The Psycho. He will gain a limp from running away from the Wendigo during Chapter 8, and may also get a bloody nose if he failed to roll underneath a tree branch during the chase. Personality

   Chris is what society might consider the nerd of the group. And he kind of embraces it. NOAH FLEISS ON CHRIS

   Chris traits remake ChrisTraits Chris is described in-game as methodical (a trait replaced by 'loyal' in the remake), protective and humorous. He loves technology, dislikes being anywhere without wifi access and dreams of being an app designer.[2]

   Until Dawn™ 20150903210213 "Jokemaster" Chris at it again. Chris has a passion for jokes and all things technological, both of which have earned him a reputation as the nerd of his friend group, yet it's a role he seems perfectly comfortable in filling. While Chris is an affable guy, he takes his self-appointed post as the "class clown" of the clique very seriously. His witty sense of humor is appreciated by his friends, but his tendency to repeatedly pull pranks can be off-putting after a while. Chris appears eager to impress others, whether it's with his humor, a demonstration of his shooting skills, the latest cutting-edge tech he's picked up, or complex theoretical concepts like the Butterfly Effect.

   That latter aspect ties in to Chris' analytical mindset. Chris likes to gather information so he can make informed decisions. He is shown to be very observant as, when he finds clues like the Wanted Poster, Newspaper Fragment, Answerphone Message, Light from Below, or Threatening Letter, he's quick to piece together their interconnectivity as indications of a serious threat. Chris is also a natural skeptic of the occult. He ridicules the Ouija Board séance and is quick to dismiss the idea of a ghost by pointing out the illogic of a spirit that would set up a Hidden Camera. Still, he doesn't make a display of his intelligence to be a know-it-all; rather, he wants his friends to benefit from his understanding.

   Ashley Chris trap 2024 Chris faces the ultimate challenge. According to Dr. Hill, Chris' greatest fear is failure. Emily shares this fear, but while she displays this trait with forms of aggression, Chris manifests it via inaction. This is reflected in his trouble confessing his real feelings towards his crush Ashley. This anxiety in being vulnerable with her has made him the target for teasing from Josh, and even Sam expresses frustration at his dithering. His fears are made most apparent during the events of Until Dawn. After his initial encounter with one of the Psycho's traps leads to a seemingly fatal encounter, Chris is left feeling devastated over his role in failing to save both of his friends.

   Regardless, the events on Blackwood Mountain prove to be a true test of Chris' mettle. It becomes obvious that he is protective of his friends and cares for them. The events in the shed ignite a desire to get everyone else to safety during the rest of the night and instill a driven focus in his mind that helps him push past his normal limitations. This is seen as he repeatedly insists on finding Sam, risks his life to rescue Josh, and finally overcomes his apprehension and confesses his feelings to Ashley. Depending on the player's decision, he may also be ready to lay down his own life to save Ashley in one of the Psycho's traps.

   Chris trap 2024 Chris' path is up to you. However, because Chris' personality can be shaped and effected by the player's choices, it's possible for Chris to betray his protective nature and commit violence against his friends. After Chris admits his feelings to Ashley and vows to get her out of the dire situation they're both in, he can instead choose to shoot Ashley. Furthermore, while Chris knows about Josh's psychological issues and displays a sense of responsibility over his friend's well-being, he can knock him unconscious with a piece of lumber. The investigators will question Chris over this act should he survive until dawn. Until Dawn

   Chapter Appearances One Year Ago

   In the remake

   Chris passed out Chris passed out. In the remake, Chris did not partake in the prank against Hannah as he and Josh were drunkenly passed out. He can be seen passed out on the couch, while his face has been scribbled on with various markings by Jessica and Emily. Beth approaches the sleeping Chris and smiles at the sight. Josh is later moved from the kitchen counter to the sofa on the opposite side of Chris. In the original game

   In the original game, Chris also did not take part in the prank on Hannah as he is seen drunkenly passed out on the kitchen counter across from Josh, with beer bottles surrounding them. Chapter 1

   A year later, Chris returns to the lodge with the other survivors. He is first seen at the cable car station meeting with Sam, and depending on the player's choice, can be happy to see her or be offended at the fact that she is snooping on his phone. He ends up showing her the shooting range he found at the back of the station, and upon Sam's questioning for the reason that it even exists here, he jokingly comments on how Josh's dad thinks he is Grizzly Adams.

   Chris and Sam cable car 2024 Chris and Sam in the cable car. The player then takes control of Chris in a shooting tutorial, in which he shoots bottles, sandbags, and cans. An option to shoot a squirrel later comes up, and if he takes this opportunity, it upsets Sam and damages their relationship status, also causing a crow to attack Sam and scratch her forehead. Once they spot the cable car coming down, they wait inside the station and he has an opportunity to explore. After entering, he explains to Sam on the trip how he became friends with Josh in third grade and references the Butterfly Effect, the defining mechanic of the game.

   Once they arrive at the top, Chris and Sam meet up with Jessica and he jokingly states that, had they been stuck in there for much longer, he would have chewed off his own leg. He then snags the letter Jessica is holding, and depending on whether or not Sam snooped on him, he can remark on how he is just doing what Sam taught him to.

   He reveals that Jessica is in a relationship with Mike, the class president, before teasing her to grab it back off him. Before leaving with Sam to head to the lodge, Jessica states that she wants to stay behind to greet anybody else that comes up, and Chris makes one last comment on how she is most likely just waiting for Mike.

   Chapter 2

   Chapter1-0 Chris talking to Josh outside the lodge. At the very beginning of this chapter, we can see Chris with his best friend Josh outside the lodge. After having a quick greeting with Ashley and Matt, Chris and Josh go to open the front door, and Chris can either make conversation about the new relationship between Matt and Emily, or ask about Josh's well-being after the loss of his twin sisters.

   They then discover that the front door is frozen shut, so Josh then tasks Chris with finding another way in. Chris stops and has a quick chat with Ashley, and can either make a confident comment or an unsettled one about everyone reuniting after the tragedy. He may also have a brief conversation with Matt and Sam. When searching for an access point, Josh makes conversation about Ashley and her relationship with Chris, to which he can either be defensive or submissive to his teasing.

   Once Josh and Chris find an unlocked window leading into a part of the basement, Chris climbs in and quickly falls down. The light bulb in the workshop suddenly blows out, so Josh throws Chris a lighter and comes up with the idea of unfreezing the lock using a can of deodorant in the bathroom along with the lighter, making a flamethrower. When retrieving the deodorant from the bathroom, he is startled by a wolverine hiding under the sink which eventually hops out of the cabin after he unfreezes the lock, allowing everyone else waiting outside to get in.

   Later on in the chapter, Josh tasks Chris and Ashley with finding a spirit board as a means of entertainment. When Sam and Josh are turning on the boiler for the hot water, Chris dresses as a monk and chases them out of the basement. After revealing himself, he states that he couldn't resist after discovering all of the film props that were stored down there, before revealing the spirit board.

   Chapter 3

   The chapter starts as Chris, Josh and Ashley prepare for the seance. He explains how the seance works, and ultimately treats it as a joke, much to Josh and Ashley's dismay. He hands the role of medium over to Ashley, given that she hasn't been in a seance before. They eventually find out that they are communicating with one of Josh's dead sisters, and it leads them to believe that proof of their disappearance is hidden somewhere in the library. The pointer then flies off of the board, and Josh goes into a fit of panic, trying not to believe what he just saw. He then believes that Chris and Ashley are playing with him, and storms off in anger.

   Shortly after comprehending what had just happened, Chris and Ashley decide to go and investigate the library, to which they find a secret room hidden behind one of the bookcases. Chris goes inside to look around after Ashley chickens out and finds a picture of the twins with a disturbing message scrawled on the back. Chris has the option to either show it to Ashley or not. If he did, they would agree that they should bring this to Josh's attention, and if he didn't, Ashley would wonder why the "ghost" lead them there. Either way, Chris will start to piece together that there might be a killer hiding in the area. Suddenly, they hear Josh screaming from the kitchen and run to his aid, but this only leads to Ashley being grabbed and knocked out from behind a locked door. Chris slams the door in and dazes himself, leaving him open to an attack from the Psycho, knocking him out too.

   Chapter 4

   Chris discovering the first saw trap Chris forced to make an impossible decision. Chris wakes up on the kitchen floor with a large bruise on his forehead and realizes that Ashley and Josh are missing. He searches the lodge for clues as to where they might be, which leads him outside to a large shed where he finds the missing duo tied up to a wall with a saw blade on a track rigged up in front of them.

   The Psycho starts talking to them and instructs Chris to pull the lever in the direction of the person he wants to save. Regardless of how he chooses, it will always turn in Josh's direction, violently bisecting him. He is then allowed inside to untie Ashley, telling her not to look at Josh's corpse. Once back outside, they meet up with Emily and Matt, struggling to inform them of what happened in their panicked state. Emily suggests that Ashley and Chris look for Sam back at the lodge while she and Matt look for help.

   Chapter 5

   Ashley, Chris, and Josh will be briefly mentioned by Matt and Emily, while the couple discuss Josh's death and the mystery surrounding it.

   Chapter 6

   Chris and Ashley discover in the lodge that Sam is missing, and head down into the basement to search for her. During this, they reflect on Hannah's disappearance after being harassed by a "ghost" and investigating fake clues set up by the Psycho. This eventually leads to either an unconscious Sam or a dummy dressed in her clothes lying in a seat, and this lets the Psycho steadily sneak up on Chris and knock him out with gas.

   He awakens to find himself and Ashley strapped to chairs, with one of his hands purposefully unrestrained so as to pick up the gun on a table in front of him. Saws above them activate and slowly descend on the pair, and The Psycho tells Chris that he must make the decision of either shooting himself or Ashley, stating that whoever lives gets to be free. Depending on who he aims at first, she will either beg him to kill her to save himself or plead for him to spare her life. He also has the option of not firing the gun at all.

   Chapter 7

   It is discovered that the gun Chris was given only had blanks in it, and did not pose any danger to himself or Ashley. The saw blades stop descending before they reach the pair. As Mike, Sam, and the Psycho all show up in a big confrontation, the Psycho reveals his true identity: he is Josh.

   It is revealed that Josh has played one massive revenge prank on them as payback for their prank on Hannah. After Sam and Mike release Ashley and Chris, Mike knocks Josh out and binds him due to him thinking Josh was also responsible for Jessica's death. Mike and Chris escort Josh outdoors to the shed, despite his protests. Chris can be furious if Josh punched Ashley in her face had she stabbed him with a pair of scissors to protect herself, and returns the favor by punching him in the face on the trip, stating he should never hit a girl. After they bind him to a support pillar, Chris has the option to knock him out or disarm Mike when Josh eventually provokes him enough to make him point a gun at him. Mike tells Chris to return to the lodge to check on everyone else, while Mike guards Josh for the night.

   Chapter 8

   We see Chris again when either Emily and/or The Stranger shows up at the lodge. If Emily survived her encounter in the mines, Chris will question her about what happened, before The Stranger can be heard knocking on the lodge's door, prompting Chris and Mike to investigate. The Stranger will barge in and proceed to inform the group about the Wendigo curse. Chris starts to get worried after Mike realizes he left Josh all alone in the shed. Even though Josh put them in danger, Chris still feels obliged to find him because he is his best friend, so he helps the Stranger locate Josh. Depending on the player's choice of who Chris shot in chapter 6, Ashley may kiss Chris before he leaves or just stare him down coldly before locking the door behind him.

   Chris witnessing the Stranger’s death When they arrive at the shed, they discover that Josh is missing, and quickly decide to return to the lodge. However, they are ambushed by Wendigos. Regardless of how well or badly the player does here, the Stranger will always be killed. If successful in all of the shooting events (a failure results in Chris' demise), he'll run back to the lodge for shelter.

   If Chris had shot himself or did nothing, Ashley will open the door for him, saving his life. If Chris had shot Ashley, she will remember this as Chris begs to be let in. She backs away from the door slowly, leaving Chris to be decapitated. If he survives, he will explain that the Stranger was killed by the Wendigo, and will witness the hysteria that ensues if it is discovered that Emily was bitten. He takes a cautious stance in the debate, stating that he does not want to see what the Wendigos can do again.

   Chapter 9

   Chris appears again when he, and the rest of the group, decide to follow Mike through the tunnel to the Sanatorium. Because of his injured leg, he feels as if he can't go on, and Ashley can inquire if he'll be alright or claim that they won't leave him.

   If he stays with the group, he will survive no matter what. If he decides to stick behind, Ashley leaves a message for Chris when they go through the manhole into the caves, and there is an opportunity where Chris can follow the voice of Jessica in the tunnels.

   If Ashley died in the trap, he will find her bloody beanie lying on the ground next to the trap door and break into tears. If he then decides to open the trapdoor, the Wendigo will appear in front of him and closes it before decapitating him in the same manner as the chase in the woods. If he ignores the trapdoor after finding the beanie, the Wendigo grabs him from the ceiling and decapitates him. Regardless, if Chris stayed behind and Ashley died afterward, Chris will be killed on either path. If Ashley did not open the trap door but Chris does, he gets decapitated by having his neck twisted off. If he ignores the trapdoor when Ashley hadn't died or ignores the voice completely, he will regroup with Ashley (and possibly Emily), saying he thought he heard Jess. He will not meet Sam due to Sam already agreeing with the group that they should be heading back while she finds Mike. Chapter 10

   If he has survived this long, his safety is finally ensured. He will make an appearance alongside the other survivors that have also made it in the finale. No matter what the player does in this section, Chris will always make it out of the lodge first before the explosion, unlike Emily, Mike or Ashley.

   If Chris survives, he will appear in the police interviews in the end credits. When questioned on the nature of the Stranger and if any of his friends could have killed him, he steadfastly defends him, stating that the Stranger saved his life. He also notes, regretfully, that he watched him die. If Chris hit Josh in the shed, the police will bring it up and question why he did it even though Josh was restrained. Chris tries to defend himself over his decision but feels guilty for his actions. If Sam, Mike, Jessica, Matt, Emily, and Ashley have all died, he will be asked by police about Josh's whereabouts and wistfully tell them that he must have been taken down into the mines by the Wendigo. He will also always be mentioned by Ashley, if she survived the night, while he didn't. The dialogue depends on whether Chris shot Ashley or not.

   If Chris did not shoot Ashley and died before dawn, Ashley will break down, stating disbelief at the thought of Chris being dead, and that they never got the chance to be together. If Chris shot Ashley and died before dawn (either at the door or on the path), Ashley will tell police that she "couldn't move" and she "was so scared." She'll then say that she witnessed the Wendigo tear Chris apart in front of her. Possible Deaths

   Hannah and Beth

   Chris is best friends with Hannah and Beth’s brother, Josh. He is one of four characters—the others being Sam, Josh, and Beth—to not take part in the prank on Hannah. Despite this lack of involvement, he still tries to apologize to them during the seance. In the old hotel, Chris tells Ashley that he doesn’t understand what Hannah was trying to do during the night of the prank. However, he will stand up for Hannah if Ashley is dismissive of her and call Ashley’s statement harsh. He is somber as he and Ashley watch Hannah in the prank tape. Hannah (as a Wendigo) can kill Chris at multiple points during the game, showing no mercy and decapitating him.

   Chris and Beth were on good terms, as he was her third highest non-familial relationship (after Sam and Jess). In the remake, she briefly interacts with Chris. While passed out on the couch, he drops a bottle, startling her. As she kneels to pick up the bottle, she smiles at him, presumably because of the doodles Emily and Jess had drawn on his face.

   Ashley

   See Ashley and Chris for more information.

   Ashley Chris basement 2024 2 Chris and Ashley searching for Sam in the old hotel. Chris and Ashley are study partners who have a mutual crush on each other. They are both initially too anxious to admit their feelings for each other. Depending on the player's choices you can either have them presumably start a relationship or betray one another. The two explore the lodge and old hotel together, attempting to solve the mysteries behind The Psycho. They sometimes experience conflict due to Ashley’s belief in ghosts and Chris’ skepticism, but he encourages her to keep going, saying that he’s there for her.

   They eventually confess their true feelings while in gun trap. If Ashley was punched in the face by the Psycho after attempting to defend herself, Chris will be appalled, asking Ashley what the Psycho did to her. When she says she was punched, Chris is furious, threatening to “murder [the Psycho’s] fucking face off,” indicating how protective he is towards Ashley. After Josh reveals himself as the Psycho, Chris punches him, asking why he had to hit Ashley.

   In the gun trap, Chris is given an option to shoot himself, shoot Ashley, or do nothing and let a saw kill them both. If Chris attempts to sacrifice himself for Ashley or if he does nothing, then Ashley will tell him to "come back safe" and kiss him before he leaves to rescue Josh. If Chris dies after this point, Ashley will be distraught and break down during the credits. However, if Chris decides to shoot Ashley to save himself, she will pay him back by locking him out of the lodge while a Wendigo is after him, causing him to be killed. When Mike questions her on this, she will back away and simply say that "it was too late." In the remake, this was changed. Instead of locking him out of the lodge, she hesitates and is unable to open the door in time before Chris is killed, and she cries when he dies.

   Later on, Chris and Ashley travel through the mines with Sam and possible Emily. Here, Chris will ask Ashley to leave him behind due to an injury he has sustained. She can do so or insist he comes with them. If he stays behind and Ashley is killed in the mines, he can potentially find her beanie and cry for her before he is killed himself.

   In Chris’s base stats, Ashley is tied with Josh for first. In Ashley’s base stats, Chris is ranked first.

If Ashley is apologetic during the seance, his relationship with Ashley will slightly increase. If Chris chooses to save Ashley, his relationship with Ashley will increase. If Ashley shows sympathy towards Hannah, his relationship with Ashley will increase. If Ashley is courageous about finding Sam, his relationship with Ashley will increase. However, if Ashley is reluctant about finding Sam, his relationship with Ashley will only slightly increase. If Ashley is apologetic about the prank, his relationship with Ashley will increase. If Chris doesn't shoot Ashley, his relationship with Ashley will become maximized. Relationship Decreases

   If Ashley insists about seeing a ghost, his relationship with Ashley will decrease in the original game, but remains unchanged in the remake. If Ashley is dismissive about Hannah, his relationship with Ashley will decrease. If Ashley is unrepentant about the prank, his relationship with Ashley will decrease. If Chris shoots Ashley, his relationship with Ashley will drop to zero in the original game, though it remains unchanged in the remake, possibly due to a bug. Emily

   Chris and Emily are members of the same friend group, but don’t seem to be that close. Chris seems interested in Emily’s relationship drama and asks Josh about what’s going on with Mike, Emily, and Matt. Later, he can optionally ask Matt about his relationship with Emily. The two first interact after Josh’s “death,” when Chris and Ashley run from the shed and cross paths with Emily and Matt. Emily will suggest that Chris and Ashley to get everyone else together as she and Matt go for help. Here, Chris can accuse her of "just wanting to save herself,” while Emily argues she doesn’t want to be hasty and get more people killed.

   Chris and Emily show concern for each other throughout the game. If Emily arrives at the lodge after succeeding during her chase, Chris will hurry to help let her in and show consideration for her, asking her about her experiences. Emily will show concern when Chris arrives back in the safe room, after his attempt to save Josh, and she will be distressed if Chris dies on his way back. If Emily was bitten and Chris is alive at that point, he will support the idea of Emily leaving the basement, due to not wanting to face another Wendigo after only just surviving one. If Mike decides to shoot Emily, Chris will appear horrified by her death, and his relationship status with Mike will dramatically drop.

   Chris and Emily share the same fear, the fear of failure. In the remake, a digital photo shows that Emily and Jess had pranked Chris by drawing on his face as he slept, indicating that Emily does sometimes act playfully towards Chris.

   In Chris’s base stats, Emily is tied with Mike for the second-to-last rank; they are higher than Matt and Jessica. In Emily’s base stats, Chris ties with Josh for the second-to-last rank; they are higher than Jessica.

   Jessica

   Jessica is one of Chris’s lower relationships in the group. In the prologue of the remake, Jess, along with Emily, are shown to have pranked Chris by drawing on his face while he slept. During the main story, Chris tries to snoop into Jessica’s private life by snatching a letter—intended for Mike—from her. He teases her for it, prompting Jessica to call him a “tool.” Later in the night, Mike tells the rest of the group that Jessica has died, and Chris appears saddened, telling Mike he’s sorry. Chris can consider following "her voice" in the mines, showing that he does care for Jessica's well-being.

   In Chris’ base stats, Jessica is tied with Matt for the bottom rank. In Jessica’s base stats, Chris is ranked second-to-last, before Emily.

   See Chris and Josh for more information.

   Chris is Josh's best friend, and they have a long history together, having met in third grade. According to the Companion App, Josh acts as a big brother figure towards Chris. He has given Chris a nickname, “Cochise.” They often joke around and talk about Chris' relationship, or lack thereof, with Ashley. Josh encourages Chris to make his move with Ashley, playfully teasing him, then telling him he’s only checking how his "blood is flowing.” Chris can laugh at Josh’s jokes and tell him he’s probably right or tell Josh to cut it out. Either way, it's clear the two have a close, friendly relationship, and Josh wants to see him happy and with Ashley.

   As the Psycho, Josh puts Chris through various torments. He knocks him out multiple times, both by punching him and with gas, and he subjects Chris to painful decisions. In the first saw trap, Chris must choose between Josh and Ashley. Josh is “killed” either way, and Chris tries to avoid talking to Ashley about it, though he later tells her he is still thinking about Josh’s death. In the second trap, Josh has Chris choose to save himself or Ashley, or to allow both of them to die. When Josh reveals himself as the Psycho, Chris is angered and claims he’s off his meds. However, he’ll remind Mike that Josh is sick.

   Chris and Mike decide to keep Josh contained outside. On the way to the shed, Chris will punch Josh if Josh had punched Ashley prior. Though he is furious at Josh, he can still be skeptical that Josh killed Jessica. Josh is confused and frustrated by Chris’s attitude towards him and tells Chris that they’re partners. If Chris had said he was going to save Ashley over Josh in the saw trap, Josh will remember and act aggressively towards Chris. His mockery will drive Chris to picking up a wood beam and consider hitting Josh with it. When Mike threatens to shoot Josh, Chris can defend Josh by hitting Mike, knock Josh out (presumably out of anger or to prevent Mike from committing murder), or do nothing.

   Regardless of how the player chooses to have Chris act towards Josh, Chris will always willingly risk his life to retrieve Josh from the shed. If Chris hit Josh, he will express regret and say he won’t let anything else happen to him. If he didn’t, he will say he needs to help Josh because he’s his best friend. If he is the sole survivor, Chris will break into tears after finding out Josh hasn’t been found. However, if he chose to hit Josh in the shed and he survives the night, he will defend his actions, saying that "[Josh] was trying to fuck with [their] heads,” but appears to feel guilty about it.

   In Chris’s base stats, Josh is tied with Ashley for first place. In Josh’s stats, Chris is in first place.

In Chapter 2, Chris can ask how Matt’s been doing or talk to him about his relationship with Emily.

   Mike and Chris appear to have a decent relationship. In the remake's prologue, Chris and Mike are shown to have spent at least some time together at the Washington Lodge party. They appear in a photo together, along with Sam, Josh, and Matt. They interact a few times during the game and seem like very different people personality-wise, often struggling to coordinate. After Josh reveals himself to be the Psycho, Chris and Mike that take Josh out to the shed and tie him up. Chris expresses some discomfort over Mike’s treatment of Josh and can potentially disagree with him that Josh did anything to hurt Jessica, but he and Mike will largely back each other up. Mike will eventually lose his temper at Josh and point a gun at him. Chris has the option to disarm Mike, hit Josh, or do nothing. If Chris disarms Mike, Mike will be angry and claim that Chris knows him better than to think he’d shoot Josh. If Chris hits Josh, Mike will be angry and develop a sense of distrust towards Chris.

   They team up again when the Stranger comes to the lodge, Chris telling Mike that he has his back. Together, they go to the door where one of them will open it and one will hold a gun. If Chris hadn’t hit Josh and wants the gun, claims that Mike can "take whatever it is with sheer good looks and muscles,” and Mike agrees, handing him the gun. If Chris hit Josh earlier, Mike will refuse to give Chris the gun. Chris can also volunteer to take the door instead, and Mike will cover him.

   If Chris dies during his chase or by Ashley not opening the door, Mike will express horror at his death. If Chris is alive in the safe room and Emily has been bitten, he vaguely agree with Mike that Emily should not be with them, saying that he does not want to see another Wendigo. However, if Mike shoots Emily, Chris’ relationship with him will dramatically drop. If alive, Chris will go with the others to warn Mike about the Wendigos in the Sanatorium. Because he is injured, Chris suggests that the group leave him behind so they can reach Mike more quickly.

   In Chris’ base stats, Mike is tied with Emily for the second-to-last place, coming before Jessica and Matt. In Mike’s stats, Chris is tied for third with Josh and Sam, coming before Matt and Ashley.

   See Chris and Sam for more information.

   Chris and Sam are good friends who have a playful relationship with one another. Throughout the game, they joke around and show concern for one another’s wellbeing. Both Sam and Chris have histories with the Washington siblings—Sam as Hannah’s best friend and Chris as Josh’s best friend. In the remake of the prologue, they are seen having a good time in a photo together, along with Josh, Matt, and Mike. Before taking the cable car to the lodge, they can potentially bicker (over Sam snooping in Chris’s phone and/or Chris shooting a squirrel, possibly the one Sam had previously fed). However, they have a fun time at the shooting range together while Sam watches Chris play and laughs at his silly dance. In the cable car, they have a conversation about how Josh and Chris met and will express some concern for Josh, but decide that returning to the mountain was a good choice. Afterwards, Sam affectionately punches his shoulder and tells him, “Good talk, bro.”

   On a couple occasions, Sam shows an interest in Chris’ life, indicating that she supports his crush on Ashley. Chris likes to play jokes on Sam, and she is typically amused by his antics. This is seen when he jokes with her through the lodge window and after he pranks her with the monk costume which admits is somewhat humorous in retrospect.

   During the events of the night, Chris shows he cares what Sam has to say (as he can tell Ashley about Sam's worries that they are being followed by the former staff member of the hotel when listing evidence early on in the game) and expresses concern over Sam’s safety, returning to the lodge with Ashley so that he can rescue her from the Psycho. He calls out her name a few times while searching for her, and can convince an uncertain Ashley that they need to continue for Sam's sake, worried that she's been taken by the same person who killed Josh. In the safe room, it is possible for Sam to ask Chris if he’s doing alright after seeing the Stranger die. If he dies before returning to the safe room, she is saddened.

   In Chris’ base stats, Sam is in second place, following Josh and Ashley who are tied. In Sam’s relationship meters, Chris is tied with Ashley, Emily, Josh, and Matt, and he is ranked above Jess and Mike.

   STATUS Determinant LESS You're just like me and everyone else. We're all insecure! But, you know how to handle yourself. You might call it a front but it's real. MIKE TO JESSICA

   Michael "Mike" Munroe is one of the eight main protagonists, a playable character, and the overall deuteragonist in Until Dawn. He was voiced and motion captured by actor Brett Dalton.

   Appearance

   Mike is a young American man with brown hair and brown eyes. His hair is longer in the remake.

   In the Prologue, he wears a brown plaid shirt and a pair of jeans. When the group meets up a year later, Mike wears a flannel jacket underneath a dark blue padded vest, a white tank top undershirt, and a pair of jeans.

   In Chapter 3, Mike removes his jacket and vest, leaving his jeans and a white tank top undershirt. He will later find and wear a green army jacket in Chapter 5. Two of his fingers may also be amputated if he got caught in the beartrap.

   After Wendigo attacks and various other injuries, his face will start to look rougher, covered with dirt and scars. He will later receive a black eye, a big scar beside his mouth, and can get multiple gashes across his neck. Personality

   Mike is like 'big guy on campus.' He's the class president who has some charm and has brain. I don't know, people seem to like Mike. He gets away with a lot, though. He can be kind of jerky. BRETT DALTON ON MIKE

   Mike traits remake MikePersonality Described in-game as intelligent, driven and persuasive (charismatic, driven and brave in the remake), Mike is known among his friends as the casanova of the group. He loves women and his good looks and charm make him popular among them. Hannah had a long-time crush on him, something which he and other members of the group pranked her for. He, however, has a hatred of commitment,[1] resulting in his relationships not lasting very long. In the Prologue, he dated Emily, but dumped her for Jessica sometime before their return to the lodge one year later.

   Mike fighting off Wendigos Mike exploring the Sanatorium (2024 version). As the class president, Mike enjoys taking matters into his own hands and is quick to step to the forefront. He has high aspirations and confidence in his own capabilities, reflected in his dream job, president of the United States.[1]

   According to Dr. Hill, Mike has a fear of isolation. Though this could also be a misperception from the patient's perspective, as he seems rather comfortable on his own, able to stand his ground and fend off danger adequately. When things go south over the course of the night, he naturally takes on the role of the group's leader. He is set on ensuring the safety of his friends, as seen when he chases after his captured girlfriend Jessica and decides to search for Josh, traversing through the Wendigo-inhabited Sanatorium by himself. He also fears misfortune towards his friends, supported by the fact that he considers Chris unreliable after he knocks out Josh and expresses disbelief at the idea of Hannah cannibalizing Beth.

   His bravado and fear of misfortune, however, can sometimes lead to rash decision-making with severe and even fatal consequences. This is seen when he knocks out Josh after wrongly accusing him of killing Jessica, and when he points a gun at Emily - potentially shooting her - fearing that her bite would transform her into a Wendigo. This bite would later turn out to be harmless.

   Despite this impulsive side, Mike shows a notable progression in character throughout the course of the game. Initially coming across as self-absorbed, somewhat vain and immature, but later emerging as a brave and resourceful young man, willing to put his life at risk to help his friends. Until Dawn

   Involvement

   Chapter Appearances One Year Ago

   In the remake

   The player first sees Mike as he sits next to his then-girlfriend Emily, while they, Jessica, Matt and Ashley, prepare to prank Hannah, who has a long-time crush on Mike. Jessica proclaims she wants to protect his and Emily’s relationship when Sam discourages them. Emily grabs Mike’s hands, claiming Mike is her man, to which Mike replies that he’s not anybody’s man. As they notice Hannah walking upstairs, they head up to the guest room.

   Mike Hannah Remake Mike pranks Hannah. Hannah gets ready to meet Mike - writing a diary entry, picking out an outfit to impress him, and drinking from a cup to loosen up. As Emily instructs everyone to their positions, she places Mike in a chair. When Hannah enters the room, Mike stands up, greets her and says they should start with making out and see where it goes. Hannah quickly begins taking off her clothes, but is interrupted by Jessica remarking on this. Sam then barges into the room and Hannah, humiliated, storms off, while the rest of the group follows her to the door. When Beth confronts the group about what they did, Mike claims they were just messing around and that it wasn’t serious. Beth will call them jerks before running after her sister. When Mike proposes to go after her, Sam tells him he probably is the last person she would want to see right now. In the original game

   Mike is first seen watching Jessica and Sam argue over their prank on Hannah. He, Ashley, Emily, Jessica, and Matt go down to the guest room wait for Hannah, and when she walks in, he convinces her to take off her blouse. As she is unbuttoning her shirt, the rest of the group reveal themselves to her just as Sam walks in the room warning her too late, and a humiliated Hannah runs out of the room. He, along with everyone else, goes after her outside the lodge and calls for her to come back. Once Hannah's twin sister Beth gets outside, she asks him what happened, to which he replies that it was all just a prank. As Beth runs off to find Hannah, Mike asks Sam if they should go after them. Sam tells him that he's probably the last person they want to see. Chapter 1

   A year later, he returns to the lodge on the anniversary of Hannah and Beth's disappearance. He first appears when he scares Emily, his ex-girlfriend, and Matt, her new boyfriend, after they walk across the bridge outside the lodge. After settling some tensions between himself and Matt, he starts walking to the cable car station when Emily catches up with him to talk and later, embrace. Ashley sees this event through the lodge's telescope, and she may either tell Matt or keep him in the dark.

   He continues on his way to the station and startles Jessica, his new girlfriend, with a snowball. They begin to flirt with each other, eventually escalating into a snowball fight between the pair, which ends with them falling on top of one another. Depending on the choices made, the scene can be romantic, funny or chilling if Jessica had killed an innocent bird in the fight, causing an icicle to fall down. Eventually, they decide to head back to the lodge, all the while continuing their flirting.

   Chapter 2

   Mike and Jessica meet up with everyone else inside the lodge and, depending on whether or not Matt saw the embrace between Mike and Emily, a heated argument can start. If Matt did not see the exchange or does not push the argument too far, Mike then witnesses a quarrel between Emily and Jessica, but in either case, Josh defuses the fight and tells him to check out the guest cabin along with Jessica.

   After clearing his mind outside, Jessica comes out and comforts him before Josh follows, apologizing for kicking them out of the lodge in such an abrupt manner. He reminds them to turn on the generator so that the lights outside will turn on and the gate will unlock, as it is dark.

   Mike and Jessica in the mines Mike and Jess in the mines. They start to walk through the woods towards the cabin, where they have the opportunity to take a selfie with each other, discuss the fight that occurred in the lodge, and continue to rally cheesy sexual references between themselves. They discover the path is blocked by natural debris, so they are forced to investigate the mine, but Jessica accidentally falls down after some old boards break under her weight. Mike checks on her and eventually follows her down, and they slowly progress through the mine shafts.

   Once outside again, they make it to another viewpoint with a telescope and Jessica takes the opportunity to look out at their cabin, but claims to see a figure near it. Mike takes a look. After not seeing anything, he turns his head and criticizes Jessica for being paranoid, yet being too late to acknowledge a weird figure appear in front of the telescope (where it is later revealed to be a Wendigo).

   They proceed down the hill, and Mike is startled once again by a bird, which Jessica takes advantage of and makes fun of his cowardice. They once again meet a blockage in their path, this time a fallen tree, and Jessica starts to climb over it, but not before hitting Mike with another snowball. Just as he turns around and is about to retaliate, he discovers she has suddenly vanished before hearing her piercing scream as the chapter ends.

   Chapter 3

   Mike gets worried and quickly follows Jessica over the fallen tree. After he searches for a while, Jessica jumps out and scares him with a deer's skull all while recording it on her phone, much to his dismay and his jokey death threats.

   As they continue on their journey, Mike stops and listens out as he feels someone might be following them. He has the option to throw a rock to draw out the presence, but a deer jumps out at them, knocking them over. Once they pick themselves up, they come to an old shack. If Mike takes a look inside the shack he can find an old mask, which he can either show to Jessica, creeping her out, or use it as a revenge prank against her, making her fall into a shallow stream of water and generally annoying her.

   As they move on, the deer jumps out at them once again, but as it goes back into the bushes it is heard screeching. They meet it again shortly as it lays injured in their path, and Mike can comfort the dying animal or give it a swift and quick death.

   Regardless, the deer suddenly gets pulled away, surprising the couple and causing them to sprint away, thinking they are being chased by a bear. They barely make it into the cabin, and depending on Mike's choices, Jessica can thank him or berate him.

   They soon shake off their fears, and Mike starts to make his advances on Jessica. However, she realizes she has lost her phone, and if Mike failed to be romantic during the trip she will be open with him and have an honest discussion about her feelings and inhibitions, but Mike still has an opportunity to seduce her. If Mike was romantic during the trip, Jessica will be a pushover and the whole conversation about her feelings will be skipped.

   Before they have a chance to engage in further romance, one of the cabin windows is smashed and Mike goes to investigate, finding Jessica's missing phone. Thinking that her friends took it to prank them, she storms outside in anger and gloats about the fact that she is going to enjoy having sex with Mike. Not long after she goes back inside, a Wendigo suddenly grabs Jessica and forcefully pulls her through the door window.

   Chapter 4

   Mike10 Mike finds Jessica on an elevator shaft. Mike immediately grabs the gun left in the lodge and chases after Jessica through the woods. Depending on whether or not he takes the safe paths or the risky shortcuts, he can reach her at the old mine before she is killed, and the elevator she lays on collapses into the abyss and Mike will think that she is dead.

   Shortly after, he spots a figure further up the mine shaft and has a chance to shoot it before following up. Once he climbs his way up he has a chance to shoot another mysterious figure, but will find out the gun is jammed and throws it away in favor of chasing the figure down, leading him to the Blackwood Pines Sanatorium.

   Chapter 5

   Mike investigates the building to find The Stranger and retrieves a machete stuck in a corpse. He finds the majority of the clues about the events from 1952 in the mines.

   Mike sanatorium 2024 6 Mike making discoveries in the Sanatorium. His curiosity can cause him to accidentally touch a bear trap, set up by The Stranger. His fingers are stuck, giving the player two choices; either amputate them or try to open the trap with the machete he found earlier on. If he amputates them, he can still use his machete, but if he tries to save his fingers, the machete breaks.

   As his search continues, he has the option to befriend one of the wolves that live in the Sanatorium, who can help him from time to time. This location is also where Mike finds the army jacket he wears throughout the other remaining chapters.

   When Mike is in the deepest halls of the building, he moves a barrel aside to open a door behind it, which he must shoot the lock to access. Unfortunately, the barrel he moves is full of oil, and the sparks from the gunshot cause an explosion that Mike is barely able to escape from.

   Chapter 6

   While he does not physically appear in the chapter, Mike is mentioned as Hannah's crush by Ashley.

   Chapter 7

   He reappears at the start of this chapter, either waking up Sam if she was knocked out and captured by the Psychopath or grabbing her ankle to get her attention as she is investigating The Psycho's lair, teaming up with her to find their friends. They quickly find Ashley and Chris, where they discover the true identity of the Psycho that has been chasing them.

   Once he discovers the Psycho is Josh, he is enraged at the possibility that he killed Jessica, and so he punches Josh in the face, knocking him out cold.

   Soon after, Mike and Chris tie Josh up and march him out to the shed to prevent him from harming everyone else. Josh's deluded blubbers start to make Mike angry, provoking him to point a gun at Josh, which Chris can either knock out of his hand, revealing that he didn't intend to actually shoot him, or berate Chris if he knocks out Josh with his stick. He tells Chris to head back to the lodge and keep an eye on everyone else while he stays with Josh for the night.

   Chapter 8

   Regardless of his initial intentions to stay with Josh, he comes back to the lodge after either Emily or The Stranger arrives. When The Stranger starts talking about the Wendigo, Mike doubts all of his claims in hope of blaming him, but then flashes back to his previous mistaken encounters and remains quiet. After Chris and the Stranger leave to search for Josh, Mike and the other survivors hide in the safe room located in the basement.

   If Chris does not survive the journey, Mike will be there to console Ashley when she witnesses his death.

   When he returns down to the basement safe room, he starts to panic and looks for any other exits in the building, as he does not want to stay in the room out of fear of the Wendigos finding the survivors. He comes up with the idea of getting the cable car key off of Josh, but the rest of the survivors fear for his safety given Josh's disappearance, and if Emily has survived up until this point, she suggests that he may have been taken down to the mines where she ended up after the fire tower incident. Mike relays his knowledge of the 1950's incident to the others.

   A tough decision. Mike debates on shooting Emily. If Emily had been bitten during her escape from the mines, Ashley will notice the bite on her shoulder and will freak out, assuming that the Wendigo's bites are infectious and that it will turn Emily into one of the creatures. Mike sides with Ashley during this fight, picks up a gun and faces the tough decision of whether or not to shoot Emily. Shortly after making up his mind, Mike tells everyone to stay in the safe room as he goes off to the Sanatorium once more.

   Chapter 9

   Mike Wolfie walk In the Sanatorium. Mike arrives at the Sanatorium once again to search for Josh to obtain the cable car keys. At the Sanatorium, he finds more objects and evidence that reveals the disturbing events that took place in the Sanatorium before arming himself with a sawed-off shotgun and descending deeper into the facility.

   In the bowels of the Sanatorium, Mike has various encounters with the Wendigos and inadvertently releases several. Mike will attempt to fight off the Wendigos as they aggressively pursue him. He blows up the Sanatorium by shooting an oil drum during the escape. However, one of the Wendigos (Billy Bates), survives the explosion and resumes chasing him. Near the end, Sam arrives in time to attack and help finish off the flaming Billy before/after escaping the Sanatorium.

   Chapter 10

   Mike and Sam learn truth Mike and Sam in the mine. Mike and Sam continue their journey in the mines, where Mike deduces that the Wendigos from the 1950s incident must be at least 80 years old. It is here that they also have the opportunity to find Hannah's journal and figure out what really happened after the twins disappeared, as well as the mutilated corpses of recent Wendigo victims to their horror (the number can vary depending on how many of the survivors have been killed).

   Eventually, they manage to find Josh in his hallucinatory state, and Mike slaps him on the face to bring him back into reality. After retrieving the keys, Sam decides to climb up the cliff in order to get back to the lodge as quickly as possible, but Mike is forced to backtrack and escort Josh given his mental state. As they make their way back wading through the water, Mike suddenly gets dragged below and the Wendigo emerges to grab Josh, either killing him or capturing him as Mike tries to hide.

   Mike successfully emerges from the mines and startles Sam when she tries to open one of the lodge's doors. He explains to her that Josh had been taken by the Wendigo, and she expresses pity for his fate.

   Sam motionless The final confrontation. Mike suggests that they go back down to the basement to see if any of the survivors are still alive. On their way, they discover that a pair of Wendigos have invaded the basement, and any remaining survivors will run out in fear. They run back up to the main floor, only to find Wendigo Hannah hanging off of the chandelier in the lobby, causing them all to freeze in place. Hannah then begins fighting her older brethren, easily overpowering them and causing a gas leak in the process.

   Mike and Sam notice the leak and non-verbally coordinate a plan to destroy the Wendigos by incinerating the lodge. Mike will attempt to sneak by and break a light bulb while Sam uses the light switch at the exit to ignite the gas. Hannah will notice movement near the light bulb and patrol near Mike, and Sam can save him by yelling to attract Hannah's attention. If Sam successfully distracts Hannah, Mike will succeed in breaking the light bulb without being noticed by the Wendigos and escape right before Sam. Alternately, Mike can be incinerated by the blast if Sam runs for the switch early or if she gets killed by Hannah and forces Mike to use his lighter to set off the gas.

   If Mike survived until dawn, he will appear in the police interviews in the end credits. He talks about Josh and his unstable mental state and admits that he was wrong about accusing him of attacking Jessica. If Mike failed to save her in time, he will tearfully blame himself for her death. If he shot Emily, he will be distressed and will try to defend his actions to the police.

He may also be mentioned by other protagonists in interviews:

   If Jessica survived until dawn, she will tell the interviewers that Mike came for her and asks them if he survived. If Sam survived the night while Mike did not, she will blame herself for his death and state that he saved her life. If Emily survived until dawn and was bitten, she will antagonize Mike throughout the whole interview, stating that he pointed a gun at her, calling him a prick, and expressing her disbelief of his intentions because of them having dated. If Ashley survived the night, while Sam, Mike, Jessica, Matt, Emily did not (or Emily survived but did not find Beth's head in the mines), she will briefly mention Mike, saying that he and Sam went to find Josh.

   Hannah and Beth

   Hannah had a crush on Mike prior to the incident at the lodge. Mike's feelings towards Hannah are unclear, but he apparently does not return or take seriously her affections and sees nothing wrong with manipulating her emotions as part of a prank. Just before the game begins, Mike writes Hannah a note telling her to come to the guest room. As she arrives, Mike convinces Hannah to strip for him. Unbeknownst to her, Mike's advances were part of a prank that he, Emily, Jessica, Matt, and Ashley were playing on her. When she finds out, she becomes humiliated and flees the lodge, and ultimately falls off a cliff with her sister. Mike can express remorse over the prank and his involvement, and is horrified upon learning Hannah's fate, indicating he at least cared for her.

   As Mike and most of the survivors call after Hannah as she flees the lodge, Beth runs up to them and asks what happened. After learning that Hannah's emotional state was due to the group playing a prank on her, Beth calls Mike and the rest of the gang jerks and runs after Hannah. When it is revealed that Hannah cannibalized Beth in the Mines, he initially denies it, not wanting to believe that Hannah would do such a thing.

   As a Wendigo, Hannah appears to have remnants of her care towards Mike. While she would kill every other person when given the chance, she never entirely kills him herself. She may, however, cause direct fatal injuries to Mike.

   Ashley

   Mike and Ashley do not appear to get along very well, nor are they close. His lowest base relationships in the game are with her and Matt. However, they were in agreement on forcing Emily to leave they realize she was bitten. If Chris dies before making it back to the lodge, he will console Ashley and escort her to the basement.

   Relationship Decreases

   If Emily was bitten and Mike shot Emily, his relationship with Ashley will drop to zero in the original game, and decrease significantly in the remake. Chris

   Mike and Chris do not have a lot of interaction in the game and seem like very different people personality-wise. However, when the group comes back together in Chapter 7 and find out the truth about The Psycho, it's Chris and Mike who take Josh out to the shed and tie him up. Based on who Chris chose to sacrifice during the saw blade trap, Josh will choose to antagonize one of them (regarding their romantic interests) and Chris has the option to disarm Mike when Mike gets frustrated and points a gun at Josh.

   If Chris disarms Mike, there's an awkward moment between the two as Mike claims that Chris 'knows him better' than to believe he'd actually hurt Josh, and Chris asks Mike to warn him next time, implying they actually are at least good friends, though we see little of it in the game. Later, they interact again; when the Stranger comes to the lodge, Chris can either open the door for Mike or ask Mike to give him the gun and demand Mike to open the door. If Mike protests giving up the gun, Chris claims that Mike can "take whatever it is with sheer good looks and muscles," and Mike agrees, handing him the gun. Chris also subtly gives Mike the opinion that he believes Emily needs to leave the lodge if she's bitten by the Wendigo in the mine, yet seems frightened if Mike chooses to shoot Emily.

   Emily and Mike in the prologue Until Dawn In the prologue, Mike and Emily are in a relationship but broke up afterwards when Mike left her for Jessica. Despite this, Mike and Emily still remain as good friends, with Emily being his second highest base relationship. Later in the game, Mike can choose to say whether Jessica brings out the worst in Emily or tell Jessica to lay off Emily.

   In Chapter 8, their relationship will be completely damaged if Emily was bitten. In fear of the bite being infectious and to ensure the safety of the remaining group, Mike will demand her to leave the room. When Emily refuses, Mike will point a gun at her and can choose to shoot her. If he does so, the group may later learn the bite was harmless. He will show remorse and guilt, though desperately tries to justify his actions by blaming the unfortunate circumstances during the police interview.

   Relationship Decreases

   If Emily was bitten and Mike spares her after pointing the gun at her, his relationship with Emily will drop to zero in the original game, and decrease significantly in the remake. Jessica

   Mike and Jess take a selfie Jessica and Mike are known to be in a relationship. His highest base relationship in the game is with her. In Chapter 1, Jessica patiently waits at the ski lift to see Mike, where they later have a playful snowball fight. They then go to a cabin to have intercourse, and Mike is distraught when Jessica is kidnapped, and risks his life to save her. Believing that she is dead following her fall to the bottom of the shaft, he becomes extremely angry and upset and attempts to hunt down her killer. If Jessica dies because Mike was not able to save her, he will blame himself in the post-game interview, tearful and repentant. Jessica will always show concern for Mike in her post-game interview, asking if he made it out. The two clearly care about each other very much.

If Jessica resisted Mike's advances, and Mike is dismissive about her feelings, his relationship with Jessica will slightly decrease. Josh

   Mike and Josh initially do not have the highest relationship values, but they tend to get along relatively well together at the beginning of the game, anyway. Josh does not seem hostile at Mike regarding his involvement in the disappearance of Hannah and Beth last year. They've apparently talked about a cabin farther up in the woods for Mike to take Jessica, and Josh jokes with him and apologizes for having to send the pair of them away after Jessica and Emily fight. Josh may have been intending to prank them later, but we never see it come to fruition.

   Later, Mike is angry with Josh over the 'death' of Jessica, believing that he is the culprit, and helps Chris tie Josh up in the shed nearby so they can keep an eye on him. Mike volunteers to stay with Josh in the shed while Chris heads back with the others. When the truth comes out, Mike figures that Josh must have the cable car key, and goes back to the mines to find him and retrieve both him and the key. Mike apologizes and says "I was wrong" about Josh being responsible for Jessica's death, and the two of them are amicable and even somewhat friendly while traveling together in the mines. When Hannah captures Josh, regardless of what happens, Mike runs, believing Josh to be dead. He expresses some level of guilt over what happened with Josh in his post-game interview.

   See Matt and Mike for more information.

   In the Prologue of the 2024 version, Matt and Mike appear to be good friends as they are spotted having a conversation with each other, and are again seen talking to each other on a picture on the camera.

   A year later, the two can develop a tense relationship due to Mike's former relationship with Emily. Mike's lowest base relationships in the game are with Matt and Ashley. Depending on the player's actions, Matt can either be welcoming to Mike if he jumps out at Matt and Emily to scare them, or threaten him. If Matt saw him and Emily together through the telescope, he can warn Mike or even fight him in the lodge. Notably, Mike attempts to diffuse the situation between himself and Matt, though he will fight back if Matt jumps at him. If they fought, Mike will call Matt a meathead when talking to Jessica, and tells him to watch it or he's gonna get wrecked. Additionally, Matt can say he's always been a dick when talking to Emily. Matt's jealousy can further come to a head if he confronts Emily about her feelings for Mike on the fallen tower. Later on in the game, if Emily shows back up alive after the attack in the mines, Mike does ask about Matt almost immediately, wondering where he is.

If Jessica and Emily fought and Matt tells Jessica to shut her mouth, his relationship with Matt will decrease. Sam

   See Mike and Sam for more information.

   Mike and Sam have markedly different personalities that can put them at odds with each other at the beginning of the game. However, their trust and support for each other gradually increase as the situation becomes increasingly grim, forcing both of them to take action and eventually depend on each other for survival. When they are reunited after being separated, they are happy to see each other alive and Sam can even show concern towards Mike's fingers if he had them amputated, showing that she cares for his well-being. Regardless of Mike's and Sam's differences in personality, their survival skills and resourcefulness allowed them to rely on each other and develop a strong mutual trust for each other towards the end. However, their relationship can be significantly damaged (dropping to zero) if Emily is bitten, Mike shoots her and Ashley reveals afterwards that this was unnecessary, as a person cannot become a Wendigo by being bitten. If Mike dies, Sam will blame herself and express sadness and remorse in her interview. In Chapter 8, Sam tells Mike to shut up when he attempts to accuse the Stranger of being involved in Hannah and Beth's death.

   Relationship Increases

   If Mike didn't amputate his fingers and Sam shows concern for Jessica after Mike returns from the Sanatorium, his relationship with Sam will increase. If Emily was bitten and Mike spared Emily, his relationship with Sam will drastically increase. Relationship Decreases

   If Emily was bitten and Mike shot Emily, his relationship with Sam will drop to zero in the original game, and decrease significantly in the remake.

   Jessica "Jess" Riley is one of the eight main protagonists and a playable character in Until Dawn. She was voiced and motion captured by actress Meaghan Martin.

   Appearance

   Jessica is a teenage girl with gray eyes and beige-blonde hair styled in two Dutch braids tied with magenta hair ties.

   In the Prologue, Jessica has shorter hair tied in pigtails with lavender hair ties. She is clad in a knit wool olive green top, white undershirt, a dark green skirt with black tights, and short brown boots with light socks. She wears a necklace and pendant earrings, and has dark pink nail polish and silver eyeshadow.

   When the group meets up a year later, she wears a stone blue casual parka jacket with gray fur trim, a purple top over a plain ivory-white undershirt, blue jeans, and cream-colored snow boots with dark fur trim. Jessica has the same red nail polish she wore in the Prologue, and wears a simple band on her finger. Depending on the player's choices, she can either undress into her white-base floral-patterned bra and panties, or her white undershirt with jeans during her cabin escapade with Mike.

   Should Jessica survive her attack, she will be covered in bruises and deep cuts all over her body for the remainder of the night. If she undressed earlier on, she will proceed to wear a miner's coat and boots found in the mine. Personality

   Jessica is... she has a whole lot of personality. She is definitely the sort of mean girl character that, y'know, at school she knows she's pretty, she knows that boys like her, and she is going to use it to her advantage. MEAGHAN MARTIN ON JESSICA

   Jessica traits remake JessTraits Jessica is described as confident, trusting, and irreverent in the original game, while the 2024 remake redefines her as outgoing, driven, and impulsive. Jessica is a typical provocative girl, who is quite brash in personality and dreams of being a model. She loves partying and dislikes studying.[1] Her beauty and fun-loving personality don't go unnoticed: she was crowned Homecoming Queen in high school and Mike dumped his ex-girlfriend, Emily, to promptly get with her. Ironically, Jessica originally planned the prank on Hannah to protect her former close friend's relationship with Mike.

   She is typically laid-back, flirty and playful, constantly teasing others, giving nicknames, and acting immature. However, once provoked, she can be quite defensive and fierce, as seen in her quarrel with Emily. She does seem to care deeply for animals, being shocked and upset after possibly killing a bird and upon seeing a mauled deer. She is also very open about her sexuality, confidently expressing the fact that she'll have sex with Mike, her new boyfriend. Depending on the player's choices, Jessica may reveal to Mike that she uses her seductive skills as a shield from her insecurities.

   Following her Wendigo attack in Chapter 4, Jessica's once overtly bubbly demeanor is now contrasted by a broken and exhausted one, as she fights to survive the night in a severely injured state. Until Dawn

   Biography

   2024

   Party girl Jessica has a big personality and is highly flirtatious—two traits that apparently led Mike to drop Emily and date her instead. Before this, she and Emily were close friends; ironically, it was Jessica who planned the fateful prank on Hannah Washington to protect Emily's relationship with Mike.[2]

   2015

   A beautiful bottle blonde with a mischievous nature, fun is Jessica's raison d'etre. First on the guest list at any party, if there's one thing she's not, it's shy. Her fun-loving nature has certainly managed to turn Mike's head – he dumped Emily to get with her.

   A childhood ballerina, Jessica once wanted to be a cheerleader, until she realized that it was going to be quite a lot of work.[1]

   In the remake

   Jessica makes sure Hannah reads the note. Jessica makes sure Hannah reads the note. Jessica is first seen orchestrating the prank on Hannah. She watches Hannah pick up her note, making sure she reads it. She then walks back to the rest of the group - Mike, Matt, Ashley, Emily and a worried Sam. Jessica kneels down before her friend Emily, holding her hands. Emily proclaims that she can’t believe Jess ‘’actually did this’’, but Sam questions the cruelty of the prank. Jess stands her ground, claiming Hannah deserves it for making moves on Mike and that she is looking out for ‘’her girl Em’’, Mike's girlfriend. Emily and Jessica exchange a quick look when they notice Hannah walking upstairs, and the group get ready for their prank. Emily and Jessica hide under the bed together. When an intoxicated Hannah enters the room to meet Mike, she takes her shirt off, triggering an audible reaction from Jessica. Hannah, embarrassed, notices her voice, as Sam barges in the room and Jessica and the rest of the group come out of their hiding places. Hannah runs away, out of the lodge, and Jessica and the others follow her. When Beth notices the ordeal and asks what they did, Jessica dismissively replies that she just can’t take a joke. In the original game

   In the original game, Jessica is first seen arguing with Sam about the impending prank on Hannah. Sam questions the cruelty of the prank, to which Jessica replies that she deserves it and notes that she is only orchestrating the prank to protect her friend, Emily, implying Hannah had been "making moves on him (Mike)". She and the others head up to the guest room to wait for Hannah. As the prank unfolds, she laughs as Hannah begins to take off her blouse, notifying her of her presence and she comes out of her hiding spot, along with her other friends. She chases after Hannah down to the front door where Beth follows them shortly after. When Beth asks what's happened, Jess states that Hannah "just can't take a joke", causing Beth to get angry and run after Hannah. Chapter 1

   One year later, Jessica, now in a relationship with Mike, returns to the lodge to commemorate the anniversary of Hannah and Beth's disappearance.

   JessCableCar-0 Jess meeting Mike at the cable car station. After she arrives, she waits for Mike in front of the mountain's cable car station. While waiting, Chris and Sam's car docks. Jess prepares herself to greet the visitors before being startled by Sam, who tells her that the door is locked and asks Jess to let them out. Jess presses the button to unlock the door and is soon after teased by Chris, who will snatch a letter she's holding that's addressed to Mike. After either insisting he should return it, or informing him and Sam that she and Mike are now exclusive, Jessica will get the letter back and be left alone again at the station to continue waiting for Mike.

   Mike finally finds Jess and greets her by throwing a snowball, which prompts a friendly fight eventually causing Mike to fall on top of Jessica, giving her the choice to kiss him or hit him with a snowball.

   Chapter 2

   Until Dawn™ 20150826234125 Taking a selfie together after leaving the lodge. They head up to the lodge and greet Ashley, Chris, Josh, Matt and Sam who have assembled themselves in the living room and sit on the couch together. Soon after, Emily enters. Emily, being upset her former friend now has a relationship with her ex, provokes Jessica. Jessica, however, takes her own turn to insult Emily back. Matt can choose to encourage or defuse the argument. Josh tells them that if they can't get along then they should split up and makes Mike and Jessica go to the guest cabin. The whole argument can be skipped if Matt saw Mike and Emily flirting and decides to attack Mike. Regardless, the duo will be kicked out.

   After being kicked out of the lodge, the duo heads to the cabin to spend some time alone.

   While following the path, they discover that a fallen tree is blocking it. Unable to get up or around it, the two find another path leading into a cave. Jessica falls into what turns out to be a small section of the mines. No matter what happens, both Jess and Mike will end up squeezing past the mine cart or pushing it forwards to clear the path and walking through to the other side. While on their way out, they find a small, recently used camp (which is The Stranger's).

   When they finally get out of the mines, they find another fallen tree. This one is smaller, however, and Jess climbs on top of it. She teases Mike for not thinking of climbing over it sooner and throws a snowball at him. As he reaches down to get a snowball himself, Jess disappears from the top of the tree and screams in the distance.

   Chapter 3

   A worried Mike climbs over the tree in search of Jess. After walking past a certain point, Jess will jump out and scare her boyfriend. He can either play it cool or take advantage of the revenge opportunities later on (spooking her with an old gas mask found in the abandoned shack or aiming a gun from the cabin at her as a joke both of which will upset Jess).

   As they're nearing the cabin, they stumble upon a dying deer. If Mike chooses to kill the deer, Jess will be upset by all the gore. Either way, the deer's body is propelled backwards by an unknown force (which they believe is a bear), scaring the couple into running for the cabin.

   After reaching the cabin and calming down, Jessica asks Mike to make a fire for them. She also requests mood lighting and a blanket. Eventually, she notices that her phone is missing. She wants to go outside and look for it (as she knows her parents will be upset with her since it's the fourth phone she has had this year alone), but is easily dissuaded by Mike, who says it's too dangerous because of the "bear" and that they should wait.

   When the two are cozy, Jess may admit that she doesn't feel quite right if Mike failed to impress her earlier. She tells Mike that she's creeped out by all the goings-on and tells him that her flirtatious nature and snarky comebacks are just a front for all of her insecurities. If Mike is receptive and responds thoughtfully, their relationship will improve. She then asks him to close the shutters, as she's afraid someone is watching them. After some time, the two get closer and exchange some flirty banter. Depending on how romantic their relationship has been made by the player (depending on whether or not the player chose to antagonize Jessica throughout the chapter), she will either be in her full outfit, a shirt and jeans, or undergarments.

   Jess cabin 2024 6 Jessica is grabbed by a Wendigo. As they're about to start having sex, a window breaks in another room. Upon investigation, Mike discovers it is Jessica's lost phone. Jess, believing this is some elaborate prank by the rest of their friends, rushes out onto the cabin's porch and begins yelling angrily. After slamming the door and facing Mike, the glass on the door suddenly shatters as she is violently pulled through by an unknown force.

   Chapter 4

   While being dragged away, she calls out for Mike who is in pursuit.

   If Mike is fast enough (risking shortcuts and not failing the QTEs), he will find her in an abandoned mining building, injured, but alive. If Mike is too late to reach her, the Wendigo already had enough time to rip off Jessica's jaw, killing her and dropping her body on the elevator shaft. If alive, she is unable to move on her own and asks Mike to help. As he reaches out to her, the elevator shaft plummets, taking her down with it. Convinced she is dead either way, Mike proceeds to get revenge on her attacker.

   At the end of the chapter, she and Mike may be mentioned by Emily about their whereabouts, who wrongly assumes they are "off 69'ing each other."

   Chapter 7

   Jessica does not physically appear in this chapter, but she is mentioned numerous times. When Sam encounters Mike and if he didn't lose his fingers, she will have an option to ask about her well-being. Mike will reply that Jessica is dead, even if she is not. She is next mentioned by Mike claiming that "Jessica is fucking dead," surprising Josh. During the trail to the shed, Mike will accuse Josh of being the one to kill her, which he will deny and say he's sorry that something happened to her. Her "death" will be mentioned a few more times in the shed when Josh tries to antagonize Mike.

   Chapter 8

   Jess also does not appear in this chapter, but is mentioned when the Stranger knocks on the lodge's door. Chris speculates that the person could be Jess, but Mike quickly dismisses this by saying “it’s not Jess,” convinced she could not possibly be alive. Once the Stranger explains the curse of the Wendigo to the group, Mike will have a series of flashbacks of his encounters with the creature, including one of Jess being grabbed through the window in the guest cabin.

   Chapter 9

   Jess wakes up Jessica regains consciousness. In Jessica's first physical appearance since Chapter 4, she is now shown to be alive, waking up cold, concussed and with severe cuts all over her body. She will only be alive if Mike managed to be quick enough in his earlier pursuit. Jessica has spent most of the night laying unconscious and wounded on the elevator grate that caused her to descend into the mine. She slowly gets up and may grab a miner's jacket and boots if she undressed for Mike earlier. Trying to gain strength to walk, she is alerted by a Wendigo screech nearby.

   In the tunnels, a Wendigo mimicking Jessica's voice will draw Ashley's, and possibly Chris', attention, which may lead to their demise.

   Chapter 10

   There are three potential fates for Jessica in Chapter 10.

   If Jessica died before Chapter 10, her decapitated head, (potentially) among the heads of other friends, will roll in front of Mike's and Sam's feet after they open the door to the Wendigo’s lair during their search for Josh. Mike will point her out specifically, even if other friends have also died. Her body can then be seen hanging upside down when Mike and Sam venture further. If Jessica survived and Matt did too, she may suddenly find him jumping down a mineshaft. In a disorientated state, she tries to hit him with a shovel, which Matt can fend off if he's quick enough. Bewildered by her condition, Matt asks what happened and they engage in a small conversation. Matt may warn her about “the monster” if he survived his earlier encounter, to which Jessica explains that it dragged her down into the mine. If Matt did not encounter the Wendigo and thus is unaware of its presence, he may instead warn her about the Psycho, convinced that he is still the main culprit on the mountain. Jessica will attempt to clarify that the real attacker is not him but in fact the Wendigo, though Matt dismisses this swiftly, stating that she’s had a rough night. He will then attempt to lead her out of the mines. Jess talks to Matt An injured Jessica looking for a way out of the mines. The Wendigo Hannah is shortly alerted by their movement, emerging from the darkness of the mines behind the pair, pursuing them. Noticing the incoming danger, they can either hide or attempt to run. If Matt chooses to run ahead, Jessica will be left defenseless and will be killed by her jaw getting ripped off. If they hide, Matt must stop Jessica from falling and succeed in standing still, otherwise they will both die. After that, they will progress through the cave until the Wendigo notices them once more. Matt can either abandon Jessica to save himself or hide with her. If he chooses to abandon Jessica, the Wendigo will catch up to her and kill her.

   If he chooses to hide together, he will barge through a wooden barricade and they make their way out of the mines. They move to the edge of the outside cliff and try to remain still until the Wendigo is unable to detect them. If Matt does move, however, they will both be killed. If the player successfully keeps still, Matt and Jessica survive until dawn. They will look up and see the lodge in the distance as light is beginning to break over the horizon.

   If Jessica survived but Matt did not, Jessica will wander through the mines alone. She will walk up to a table near the crashed elevator and will light up a lantern. Here the choices will be the same, though worded differently. If she attempts to run at any time, moves when hiding, or does nothing when presented with a choice, she will be killed. If she successfully escaped out of the mine, she will look up to the lodge, surviving until dawn. Credits

   Jessica Interview Remake Original

   Until Dawn™ 20150827214415 Jessica is seen sitting in the interrogation room speaking with an officer as she attempts to tell him about the events that happened. The first and third interview clips will be shown regardless of the decisions made.

   The officer will ask Jessica how she got into the mines. Jessica will answer that she was carried and taken, but she does not know anything else besides that. If Ashley survives and tells the police she heard Jessica's screams at some point, Jessica will then reveal that it wasn't her that called out to Ashley for help, but a Wendigo. Regardless if Mike survives or not, Jessica is grateful remembering that he came for her, asking about Mike's whereabouts and condition shortly thereafter. If Mike and Sam are both dead, Jessica will be the one to inform the police about something down in the mines. She will also be mentioned by Ashley and Mike in interviews.

   If Ashley survived the night, she will report hearing Jessica's voice in the mines and that she does not know why Jess was down there. If Mike survived the night, he will briefly mention Jess when talking about Josh, stating that he thought that Josh was Jessica's attacker. If Mike survived the night, and Jessica died in Chapter 4, Mike expresses regret and deep sadness, stating that he "was so close" and that if he was just a little faster he could have saved her. Possible Deaths

   Possible Deaths Killed Victims

   A bird (Accidental, direct, determinant) Relationships

   Hannah and Beth

   Despite Jessica's issues with Hannah, she and Beth seem to get along as Jessica is Beth's second highest non-familial relationship. They are also seen pictured together, along with Hannah and Emily. Beth still calls Jess, along with Ashley, Emily, Matt, and Mike, "jerks" for playing their prank on Hannah.

   Jessica did not respect Hannah while they knew each other. She was the most visibly excited during the prank and orchestrated it in response to Hannah making moves on Mike, who was dating her then-friend Emily. Later, Jessica defended her actions while chasing after Hannah, claiming ''she just can't take a joke.'' When Mike and Jess find police tape a year later, Jess can refer to the prank as ''stupid and half-baked,'' but will criticize their decision to run into the woods, saying ''how could anyone have expected them to do a dumb thing like that?'' Jess can also remark that Mike's idea of the twins being happy they're still thinking of them is a nice way of looking at it.

   As a Wendigo, Hannah appears to be particularly persistent in pursuing Jessica, even deploying specific tactics. She first stalks Mike and Jessica for a long time during their hike to the cabin, watches through the window as they are about to have sex, and eventually throws Jessica's phone through the cabin window to lure her outside. She will then capture Jessica by grabbing her through a window and proceed to drag her through the snow into the mines. When killing Jessica, Hannah will sadistically tear off her jaw and decapitate her post-mortem.

   Ashley

   Ashley and Jessica are not seen together in the game after the events of the Prologue, but out of all the other girls, Ashley is her highest relationship status. At the risk of her life, Ashley can follow Jessica's voice in the mines, showing concern for Jessica. If Ashley survives, she mentions hearing Jessica in her interview.

   Chris

   Jessica does not seem to have the best relationship with Chris. She becomes upset with him and calls him a tool after he steals her letter for Mike, and doesn't seem charmed or humored by his personality. If Chris is left behind when the group enters the mines, he can choose to follow Jessica's voice at the risk of his life, indicating that he does care for her well-being.

   Relationship Increases

   If Jessica explains to Sam and Chris that she and Mike are together, her relationship with Chris will slightly increase. Relationship Decreases

   If Jessica insists that Chris should give her letter back, her relationship with Chris will slightly decrease. Emily

   Jess Fight Remake Jessica insults Emily during their catfight. During the prologue, Jessica and Emily are best friends. Jessica planned the prank on Hannah to protect Emily, who was dating Mike at the time. They both hid under the bed together during the prank and, along with Mike, appear to be the most involved in the prank on Hannah.

   In the year that has passed, Jessica and Emily have developed an antagonistic relationship due to Mike's new relationship with Jessica. Emily and Jessica may later have an argument about Mike, which can be encouraged or diffused by Matt. While talking to Mike, Jessica calls Emily a whore and tells him that she hopes Emily gets eaten by a bear. Emily in return may mention to Matt that the further they get away from Jessica, the better she will feel.

   Josh

   Josh, strangely enough, does not seem to blame Jessica for the disappearance of Hannah and Beth. He still jokes around with her and Mike, both of whom were among the most involved in the prank on Hannah. According to Jessica, he even flirts with her and Mike even jokingly suggests they have a threesome with Josh which Jessica almost takes seriously. When Mike confronts and blames Josh for Jessica's death, he seems genuinely shocked and swears that he does not know what happened to her.

   Jessica and Matt's relationship is largely determined by the player's actions. Jessica will show disrespect towards Matt regardless of whose side he takes in their argument, and their relationship will decline if he chooses to side with Emily. However, if Jessica and Matt both survive until Chapter 10, Jessica is slightly relieved to see Matt in the mines and will apologize if she attacked him with a shovel; Matt in turn shows concern for Jessica's injuries, and will be shocked if she tells him that she fell into the mines. If Matt fails to choose an option or chooses to run ahead, resulting in Jessica's demise, he will be shocked over her death. However, he can also choose to abandon Jessica when she fails to catch up to him, making him the indirect cause of her death.

Regardless of if she is saved or not, he believes her to be dead after the elevator collapses and will blame Josh for her death.

   Ad: (32) Skip Ad Matt is a teenage African-American boy with short black hair and brown eyes. His hair is slightly longer and curled in the remake.

   During the Prologue, Matt wears a gray t-shirt, a gray hoodie, and a pair of jeans.

   When the group meets up one year later, Matt is seen wearing gray track pants, a purple Letterman jacket over a light jean jacket and a gray turtleneck, the latter matching the sweater of his girlfriend Emily.

   As the night progresses, Matt's appearance becomes slightly more disheveled, namely after the fall of the fire tower. He becomes dirtier and receives multiple scratches, the most prominent ones on his back and torso, alongside tattered clothing. Additionally, Matt will get more tears in his clothes and a cut on his cheek if he successfully used the flare gun to defend himself against the Wendigo attack. ADVERTISEMENT

   Personality

   He's got a big heart, and you can tell that's very evident, especially how he treats his girlfriend Emily. He's kind of a meat head, but in the best way possible. He wants everyone to be happy, he's a people pleaser, and I can definitely attest to being, you know, THAT guy. I'm always the friend that wants everybody to be happy and wants everybody to be taken care of. And that's definitely Matt. JORDAN FISHER ON MATT

   Matt traits remake MattPersonality In the original game, Matt is described as motivated, ambitious and active, which is mostly remarking on his visible passion for sports. Despite his impressively strong appearance, Matt's character is far from being impetuous: he generally comes across as friendly, even being described as the good guy of the group by Dr. Hill. He is the high school's star linebacker and aspires to turn this passion into a professional career. To achieve this, Matt hopes for a sports scholarship to a top college, as his GPA is not up to par.[1] Matt may not be the sharpest tool in the shed, but he has a big heart and generally knows when to stay out of the way in situations.

   In the 2024 remake, Matt is described as obliging, dependable and active, with the first two traits highlighting his people-pleasing nature. More often than not, he embraces the role of the gentle giant, readily following the lead of others. However, this also makes him prone to being a 'pushover,' especially when it comes to his new girlfriend, Emily, to whom he is fiercely loyal to. Their relationship can be clearly quite one-sided at times, as Emily may take advantage of this trait, while Matt obediently complies with her demands. If provoked, however, Matt’s usual easygoing nature gives way to irritation. His feelings for Emily make him sensitive to her past with Mike, and jealousy surfaces if he catches them talking. This will sour his mood and lead him to confront Mike—potentially even fight him—before later questioning Emily about her feelings.

   Matt is depicted in-game as having low bravery, an attribute than can develop or decrease further over the course of the night, depending on the player's actions. He can risk his own well-being to save those close to him, such as attempting to save his girlfriend Emily on the toppled tower and protecting Jessica in the mines when they later meet, but he can also prioritize himself and ensure his own survival if he leaves Emily behind and/or potentially abandons Jessica.

   Biography

   2024

   Matt's talents on the football field aren't matched in his academic pursuits, so this gentle giant hopes to make his way to college with a sports scholarship. He is fiercely loyal to his new girlfriend Emily, unaware that he is being used as a pawn in her efforts to get back with Mike.[2]

   2015

   Matt is the high school's star linebacker, but he isn't necessarily the sharpest tool in the box. He's hoping for a sports scholarship to a top college, because his GPA isn't going to cut the mustard. He mostly plays the part of the big friendly giant, but when Matt sees red, it's best to stay out of his way.

   Matt is fiercely loyal to his new girlfriend, Emily, maybe even too loyal. Their relationship could be described as being a little one-way: when Emily says something, Matt does it.[1]

When Hannah runs out of the lodge, he and the others follow her to the door, but does not chase after her or Beth into the woods. Chapter 1

   A year later, Matt returns to the lodge. During this time, he and Emily have begun a relationship after her breakup with Mike. Matt is helping Emily carry her bags to the lodge when Mike jumps out at them. Matt can either tell Mike to stay away from them or be welcoming towards him. After Mike leaves, Emily tells Matt that she needs to go back and talk to Sam, and leaves Matt to travel in the direction Mike had gone. Regardless of whether Matt agrees or rejects her decision, she will send him away. Matt starts to travel up to the lodge but decides to scare Ashley when he sees her looking through a telescope. Before Matt talks to Ashley, she sees Mike and Emily hugging through a telescope. If Ashley allows him to look, he becomes furious with both Mike and Emily. If she doesn't, Matt will remain calm and collected.

   Note: the following segment is included in the extended and pre-order editions of the game, as well as the remake.

   Matt and Emily talk remake Matt and Emily. Matt and Emily begin to walk back to the cable car station in search of her bag. If Matt fought Mike, Emily will ask him about his motivations behind the attack. If Emily and Jessica fought instead, Matt can either criticize her, ask her if she's feeling better or tell her that he and she should start over. They find that the gate leading to the cable cars is locked, so they take a detour to take them to the car. As they're traveling, Matt can either flirt with Emily or act impatiently.

   They find a giant totem, which Emily dares Matt to stick his hand into, before seemingly being sucked into it herself. Matt soon realizes that Emily was just playing a prank on him, but they are interrupted by a noise in the distance. They continue on their path and find a pigs head with a bloody note that says "Welcome Back." Emily decides that she does not want her bag anymore and they start to head back to the lodge.

   Chapter 4

   Matt and Emily are on their way back to the lodge when they see Chris and Ashley stumbling out of the shed. Chris and Ashley frantically scream that there is a maniac that forced Chris to kill Josh, and Emily tells Matt that they need to get help. Matt either agrees or disagrees, if he disagrees, Emily convinces Matt. Either way, they then make their way to the cable car station.

   Chapter 5

   Upon arriving at the cable car station, Matt finds an axe stuck in the door. He then notices a slightly ajar window. Emily proposes that Matt should use the axe to break down the door, while Matt may suggest Emily should be able to squeeze through the window and open the door from the outside. If Matt's relationship with Emily is high, she will go through the window, though she won't be happy about it. If Matt's relationship status is low, or the player decides to use the axe instead, Matt will break down the door.

   Regardless of how the couple gets into the station, they discover that the Psycho destroyed most of the station. Matt then finds a map that leads to a fire tower, but Emily dismisses it. Soon after, they discover that the maniac stole the keys to the cable car station, so Emily proposes that they head to the radio tower to signal for help.

   Matt can either agree or disagree, but regardless of his choice, the couple will still go to the fire tower. They then start making their way to the fire tower. They climb the ledge of the cable car station and continue on. Before they can reach it, however, a group of angry deer backs them to the edge of the cliff where Hannah and Beth had fallen a year ago.

   Chapter 6

   The deer progress towards Matt and Emily, leaving a little room between them and the edge of the cliff. If Matt enrages the deer, they knock him off the ledge. He manages to grab onto the ledge, similarly to Beth, and can make it to safety if he reacts quickly enough (by not missing any QTEs). If he fails in doing so, he will fall to his demise. If Matt just ignores the herd, he will be safe, as there is no need for Matt to climb back up the cliff.

   If Matt survives, he and Emily venture to the radio tower, whose power had been turned off. Emily can find a flare gun at the top of the tower and can either keep it for herself or give it to Matt. If Matt receives the flare gun, he will either fire it immediately or hold onto it, depending on whether Matt agreed to go to the fire tower. After Emily and Matt restore the power to the tower, Emily makes contact with the rangers. After a few unsuccessful attempts, Emily is finally able to communicate with the rangers who tell the couple that they can dispatch aid at dawn. Matt and Emily temporarily rejoice, until the Wendigo cuts the cable cords to the tower.

Here he has the option of confronting her about either her behavior or relationship with Mike or assure her that she will be fine. He can attempt to save her or jump to safety onto a nearby ledge. Regardless of what Matt does, the tower creaks and becomes more unstable. Matt has another opportunity to jump to the ledge or to try to save Emily again.

   Matt's decision to help Emily a second time results in him and Emily both falling from the radio tower. Matt survives the fall and ends up in a cave. As he begins to look for a way out, the Wendigo grabs him and begins to drag him along the floor. If Emily gave Matt the flare gun and Matt didn't already use it, he can shoot the Wendigo with it. Doing so will result in the Wendigo frantically running away. Otherwise, the Wendigo will hang Matt through his jaw on a hook and leave him to his death.

   If Matt decides to jump to safety instead, Emily will fall along with the fire tower, and Matt will not be put in danger, being safe for now.

   Chapter 7

   Though he does not physically appear in this chapter, Emily will repeatedly call out for him in the mines. If Matt died by falling off the cliff, his shoe is able to be found by Emily down the rockslide where Hannah and Beth fell. Upon the possible discovery, Emily will express confusion and question as to why the shoe was found in the mines.

   Chapter 8

   If Emily makes it to the lodge, she will be questioned by Sam, Ashley, and Chris. Ashley and Sam will ask her about Matt's status, and Emily will give them a basic rundown of the events from Chapter 6 until the present time, mentioning Matt throughout her story. Chris can directly ask her about Matt's well-being and Emily will either tell them that Matt fell off a cliff or that he's in the mines, speaking either sadly or coldly about the latter depending on Matt's decision at the fire tower. When Mike enters the lodge, he will ask about Matt after rejoicing with Emily.

   Chapter 10

   If Matt died earlier, his decapitated head will be shown rolling out of Hannah's lair. Sam and Mike will find his body hanging with the other possible corpses of Jessica, Emily, and Chris.

   If alive, Matt will not be physically seen again until Chapter 10. Since his last appearance in Chapter 6, he has been wandering through the mines, looking for a way out. If Jessica is still alive, she will suddenly find him and attack him due to her thinking he is one of her attackers. They'll have a small conversation, in which he'll either ask Jessica about the reason as to why she is here, or warn her about the Psycho or the Wendigo (if he encountered the latter himself).

   Regardless, upon seeing Jessica's injured state, he will attempt to lead her out of the mines.

If they hide, Matt must hit a QTE to stop Jessica from falling and stand still, otherwise they will both die. After it moves on, they will progress through the cave until the Wendigo begins to pursue them again. Matt can either abandon Jessica to save himself or hide with her. If he chooses to abandon Jessica, she will have her jaw ripped off.

   Matt will run to the door and a QTE will appear. If he is successful to hit the QTE, he will be able to lock the door and survive until dawn. If not, the Wendigo will catch his head through the door and push him to the ground, opening the door and smashing his face in. If he chooses to hide together, he and Jessica will run to the edge of a cliff and remain still until the Wendigo leaves. If he moves, they will both die. If he successfully stayed still, Matt and Jessica have survived until dawn. They will look up and see the lodge in front of them.

   Until Dawn™ 20150827214359 Matt, along with the others who survived, is questioned by the police about their experiences throughout the night after they're picked up by the helicopters.

   If Matt survived until dawn, he will always allude to not being good enough to save Emily at the fire tower despite trying. If Emily died in the lodge in Chapter 10, he will at first be dumbfounded upon discovering the news, and then become outright devastated. If Emily was killed by Mike, he will become extremely confused and express denial, claiming it had to be somebody else. If Sam, Mike, and Jessica have died, he will talk about how the Psycho killed Josh and he'll once again reflect on the fire tower incident stating that's why they went to get help and the tower fell into the mines. He'll then finally plead with the authorities to investigate the mines. Matt will also always be mentioned by Emily. This most basic requirement for all of these dialogues is to have Emily survive.

   If Matt survived, and has a good relationship with Emily, she will ask the authorities if they're "done looking at him" and if he knows that she's "devoted to him". If Matt survived, and has a bad relationship with Emily, she will call him a few names, and she'll then ask if they're gonna "kick him around a bit for me." She'll then state that he left her to die at the fire tower (regardless if he did or not). If Matt died, and had a good relationship with Emily, she will ask the rangers if they found him yet. When they reply that they haven't, she will express regret that she "was such a bitch" and will ask herself if she could have saved him. If Matt died, and had a bad relationship with Emily, she will ask the authorities if they found Matt yet. When they reply that they didn't, she will say tell the police to not put effort into looking for him. When asked about the lack of concern, she will state that Matt left her to die at the fire tower (regardless if he did or not). ADVERTISEMENT

   Beth has short, dark brown hair that goes below her chin with bangs underneath her white beanie. She wears a half-sleeved gray sweater, darker gray yoga pants and cream-colored boots during the prologue. She also wears a watch on her wrist (which can be found very late in the game) and a fuchsia winter coat of the brand 'PolarX,' which she gives to her sister.

   Beth weighs 110 pounds and her height is 172 centimeters (5'8).[3] Like most of her family, she has dark brown eyes. Personality

   Beth is a caring and protective girl. Contrary to her sister, she does not come across as naive, but rather firm and resolute. After the prank played on Hannah, Beth was visibly angry at Mike, Emily, Ashley, Matt, and Jessica, calling them "jerks" and running into the cold woods to look for her sister.

   Upon finding Hannah, she immediately gave her her coat, and when Hannah tripped and fell while running away from (what was later revealed to be) a Wendigo, Beth quickly turned back to help her get up again, putting herself at risk. Her highest traits are honest and charitable, while her lowest are funny and romantic. ADVERTISEMENT

Beth will approach the deer and can hold its snout, triggering a Don't Move segment, but the animal will promptly run away. Upon entering the lodge, Beth notices an empty bottle Josh chugged down. Upon noticing her passed out brother, Beth will move Josh to the couch with Hannah. The player will take control of Beth and can explore the lodge.

   Hannah & Beth corpses Until Dawn Remake 2024 Beth can find a camera with numerous pictures, including pictures of the sisters with Josh and the rest of the group. After the group pranks Hannah, Beth notices her storming outside. The rest of the group follows Hannah, and Beth asks what they did. She will angrily call them jerks and run after Hannah. After finding her in the middle of the woods, crying, she offers her her coat. They then encounter a mysterious figure and are forced towards a cliff, hanging on for life. A stranger holds out his hand for Beth, but the girls fall. In the original game

   Beth is the first character seen in the game, shown looking outside the lodge's window. She then catches a glimpse of The Stranger outside and asks Josh (who is passed out after drinking too much alcohol) if he noticed the figure. Beth then roams around the room, eventually finding the note from Mike inviting Hannah up to the room for the prank. She asks herself what her 'naive sister' got herself into now.

   Beth then sees someone (later revealed to be Hannah) running outside from the window. Confused, Beth either has the option to wake Josh or find the others. If she tries to wake Josh, she is unable to rouse him. She quickly puts on a coat, follows the other out to the front of the lodge and hears Sam calling after Hannah. Beth joins them and asks everyone what happened. The group dismisses it as them "messing around", while Emily claims "it's just a prank", believing Hannah overreacted. Beth is angered; after calling them jerks, she sprints into the woods to look for Hannah. Soon, she hears a noise and sees footprints on the ground, both leading to different directions. She can choose either follow the footprints or the noise, pulling out her phone and using the flashlight to see better. After walking more, she sees a death totem on the ground, depicting herself and Hannah dying after falling from a great height. She also hears strange noises and sees apparently random bursts of fire in the distance.

   BethAndHannahCliff Beth and Hannah are forced off the cliff's edge. Beth finally catches Hannah sitting on the ground, crying. Beth is relieved, offers Hannah her coat, and helps her up. Suddenly, they hear a noise (later revealed to be the Makkapitew), look back and start running from it. As they run to a bridge, Hannah trips and falls. Beth hurriedly helps her up. By doing so, her phone falls from her coat pocket and into one of the slits in the bridge. Hearing the creature close in on them makes them slowly walk backward to the edge of the cliff. Hannah loses her footing and falls over the edge, dragging Beth with her. However, Beth manages to desperately hang onto a protruding branch with her free hand while trying to support Hannah with the other.

   Beth & Hannah's Corpse After a large flame emerges from above, a strange man reaches out for Beth to grab his hand. Beth has the option to either grab his hand and let go of Hannah, let go of the ledge and hope for survival, or to do nothing. Regardless of the player's choice, Beth falls from the cliff and into the mines below, tumbling and sustaining many injuries along the way, most notably a direct hit to her spine by a rock, instantly killing her. Chapter 1

   The one-year anniversary of the sisters' disappearance is mentioned on a radio report Sam is listening to. She changes the report to a different screen showing a video message from Josh, who remarks that Hannah and Beth would be happy if they knew they were coming together in remembrance of them.

   Chapter 2

   Chris and Sam can try to comfort Josh about his missing sisters. Josh may later mention he used to play baseball on the mountain with his family, including his sisters, during the summer.

   Chapter 3

   Ashley, Chris, and Josh find a Ouija board and attempt to contact a spirit for fun. However, the spirit they 'contact' asks for help. Chris, feeling skeptical about the board, asks Ashley about its identity, stating that they can't help if they don't know who it is. Ashley obeys Chris's advice and asks the spirit who they are, to which it responds with 'sister'. The atmosphere suddenly tenses up as all three are now scared that they may be talking to Hannah or Beth. Josh, distressed by the answer, wants to know which sister it is. Here, Ashley has the choice to say if it's Hannah or Beth they're speaking to. Regardless, the counter moves to 'yes'. The 'sister' communicating with them directs Ashley and Chris to the library as Josh leaves, accusing Chris and Ashley of this whole ordeal in order for him to have some closure and says that they're "full of it."

   Chapter 5

   Matt and Emily may find Beth's phone under some wooden boards on a bridge, where Beth and Hannah ran through one year ago. The couple becomes extremely confused, stating that they thought the police had already searched the whole area.

   Chapter 7

   Beth Corpse Emily finds Beth's head. As Emily wanders through the mines, she can find Beth's rotten, decapitated head sitting atop a pile of rocks. She also finds a cross with Beth's name on it and a date on it: February 2nd, 2014, the day the prank took place. Based on the rough carvings on the cavern walls and an assortment of Hannah's belongings, Emily deduces that Hannah survived the fall, but Beth was instantly killed.

   At the lodge, Josh reveals himself as the Psycho and explains that his motivation stems from the disappearance of Hannah and Beth as a result of the prank.

   Chapter 8

   If Emily escaped her encounter in the mines, she will return to the lodge and inform the group of what she thinks happened to Hannah and Beth. She can mention finding Beth's head, confirming Beth's death to the rest of the group. If Emily did not find Beth's head, but found her cross, she will mention finding the latter instead. Additionally, if Emily missed any clues in the mines, she may also reveal having found Beth's phone.

   Chapter 10

   Beth, along with Hannah, appears to Josh during his hallucination in the mines. They are shown to be slightly cracked and dead in appearance. In the hallucination, Beth blames Josh for her death, claiming he wanted her to die and that he did nothing to save her and her sister. This is a depiction of Josh's own mind and feelings tormenting him. They disappear for a few seconds before emerging from intestines, now bloodied. After repeating the same sentence once again, Josh demands them to leave him alone. Now having terrified Josh to no end, they disappear only for a Wendigo to show up through the cavern wall and screech at Josh before the scene cuts to Sam and Mike.

   While they search the mines for Josh, Sam can find Beth's watch in a dug-up grave. Shortly after, she can find Hannah's diary, which confirms that Beth died immediately a few seconds before hitting the cavern floor. It also describes how Hannah buried her corpse, but eventually succumbed to her hunger and regretfully dug up her body to eat her flesh for sustenance, unaware of the fact that a Wendigo spirit had begun to possess her.

   Credits (Mentioned)

   If Emily found Beth's head and survived until dawn, while Matt, Jessica, Sam and Mike died, she will mention her discovery in the police interview, saying that she saw Beth's head in the mines. If Sam survived, she also indirectly mentions Beth when talking about Josh, saying she tried to support him "after his sisters disappeared." ADVERTISEMENT

The Stranger reaches out to Beth, who then has the option to either drop Hannah and attempt to grab the Stranger's hand, let go of the branch altogether, or do nothing.

Relationships

   Hannah

   See Hannah and Beth for more information.

   Hannah was Beth's older twin sister, and like most twins, the two were very close and shared a lot of moments together. Beth is shown to be aware of her sisters naivety, as Hannah writes in her diary - before meeting Mike - that she decided not to tell Beth about their meetup because she would warn Hannah against it.

   Beth Hannah 2024 Hannah and Beth in the woods. Beth's protectiveness of her sister is shown when she instantly runs after Hannah from the lodge in an attempt to find her, after furiously confronting the group members about their prank. Through her actions, as well as indicated by the Twins Clues and their in-game status being the highest, it’s clear that Beth deeply cares for Hannah's well-being and safety, and holds her in the highest regard. Beth does have the option of dropping Hannah whilst they are hanging off a cliff edge to save herself, though if she chooses this option, she will apologize and appear distressed.

   After Beth's death from the fall, Hannah was alone in the mine with a broken leg, and wrote in her journal about the last moments of her little sister. She dug a grave for her and crafted a cross with Beth's name and date of death. However, after a month of no rescue, Hannah made the difficult decision to dug up her sister and eat her for survival. As also shown in her diary, Hannah felt profoundly guilty for this, repeatedly asking for Beth's forgiveness.

   Josh

   Beth is shown to have trusted and cared for her brother Josh, and vice versa - along with Hannah, they were very close, as evidenced by the pictures the player can find laying around of the three siblings together. After she notices Hannah fleeing the lodge, she has the option to try to wake Josh, who passed out after drinking too much, to help her. Before her disappearance, she found Josh's drunken state to be amusing, commenting "once again, brother, you've outdone us all." After Beth's and Hannah's disappearance and presumed deaths, Josh started blaming himself and was unable to cope, as seen when he hallucinates his sisters down in the mine.

   Ashley

   Not much is known about Beth and Ashley's relationship, but it can be assumed they are not the closest, as Ashley has one of the lowest relationship statuses with Beth. She is angry with Ashley and the other pranksters and calls them jerks. Later, Ashley can express remorse over the prank and disappearances of Beth and her twin, or claim Hannah overreacted.

   Chris

   Beth Washington Remake Beth smiles at Chris. In the remake, Beth checks up on Chris as he is passed out with his face drawn on. She smiles at him and repositions the bottle that he knocked over. Because of Chris being Josh's best friend, it is clear he had a good relationship with Beth as well. This is also evidenced by their relationship level being high, though below Hannah, Josh, Sam, and Jess.

   Emily

   Not much is known about Emily's relationship with Beth, although Emily is one of the two people with whom Beth shares the lowest relationship status, the other being Ashley. When Emily comes across Beth's missing person poster in the fire tower, she expresses remorse about her disappearance. Later, upon discovering Beth's head in the mines, Emily reacts with panic and is visibly upset upon seeing the decayed head of her friend. If she survives the ensuing chase, she recounts to her friends what she believes happened a year ago. She may also inform the police about finding Beth's head.

   Jessica

   Twins with Jess and Emily Beth and Jessica have a relatively high relationship status at the beginning of the game and seem to have a good friendship overall. She doesn't like her as much as Sam but likes her more than the rest of Josh's friends. They, along with Emily and Hannah, are photographed together, as seen on the Remembrance Board in Josh's basement. Despite Jessica being her friend, Beth will still yell at her, calling her a jerk for pranking Hannah. Jessica may later refer to the prank as ''stupid and half-baked,' but will also claim that Hannah and Beth running into the woods was ''a dumb thing''.

   Matt

   Beth calls Matt a jerk for upsetting her sister. Their relationship is not especially high, about the same as her relationship level with Mike. Matt will mention how, after the events of the night, the disappearance of the twins makes more sense.

   Mike

   Mike is one of Beth’s lower relationship statuses. The only discussion they are seen sharing is when Mike tries to defend his actions. Beth then calls Mike and the other pranksters jerks before running into the woods to find Hannah. Mike can later recall the event as a blur, or claim the twins would be happy they are remembering them. Should Sam find Beth’s watch, Mike will express confusion, and if she finds Hannah’s journal, Mike will be in disbelief over the fact that Hannah cannibalized Beth.

   Sam

   Beth and Sam were reasonably close, possibly due to Sam being Hannah's best friend. Beth's highest non-familial relationship is with Sam. Sam can initially learn about Beth’s death from Emily, and may later find Beth’s watch in the mine as well as Hannah’s journal that explains that Hannah ate her deceased sister after a month of no rescue. Upon this revelation, Sam will be distraught and insist on her and Mike to find Josh and inform him.

   Joshua "Josh" Washington is one of the eight main protagonists and a playable character in Until Dawn. He is the older brother of Hannah and Beth Washington. After a prank caused the disappearance of his twin sisters, he invites his friends back to his family lodge a year later in an attempt to forget the tragedy. Unbeknownst to the group however, Josh planned a night of terror to exact revenge.

   He was voiced and motion captured by actor Rami Malek.

   Appearance

   Josh is a young man with short brown hair and green eyes.

   During the Prologue, Josh wears a gray sweater with a big white stripe on it and a pair of jeans.

   A year later, he is seen wearing a knitted wool beanie and a sleeveless puffer jacket outside. Inside, he wears a dark brown shirt underneath a flat-collared blue and white plaid-styled unbuttoned shirt and a pair of jeans. He later dons a pair of overalls and receives a wound to his forehead and his neck. Personality

   We know he definitely can be depressed at some times, and a bit of a loner, but he takes some solace in one of his sister's friends, Sam, played by Hayden Panettiere. And he invites everybody back to the same house the next year to kind of find some closure. RAMI MALEK ON JOSH

   Josh traits remake JoshTraits Josh is described as thoughtful, loving and complex in the original game, while in the 2024 remake, these traits are persistent, creative and playful. Josh's interactions with the other group members tend to be humorous. He cares for his friends, acts as a brotherly figure to his childhood best friend Chris, and likes to make sure everyone is having a good time. Josh has an ISFP personality type.[1] He loves his family, dislikes being bossed around, and dreams of becoming a film producer.[2] His dreams of following in his father's footsteps in becoming a film producer make him very knowledgeable about special effects and movie props and as such, he constantly uses phrases and words from movies.

   Josh appears to be warm and accomodating, but his outgoing appearance masks a troubled history. After an incident at school, Josh was referred to a psychiatrist in 2006 and diagnosed with Major Depressive Disorder at age 11. Over the following years, he was referred to a number of other medical professionals and prescribed a variety of antidepressant medications. However, the effects of the drugs tapered or simply failed to help Josh at all, forcing his doctors to continuously change prescriptions.[3]

   When Josh welcomes his friends back to his family lodge, his warm personality is apparent, though, he does often show an inability to 'read the room,' such as when he explicitly pushes Chris to make moves on Ashley, or when he urges the group to ''party like pornstars'' on the one-year anniversary of his sisters' disappearance, who he had a close bond with. Josh took their disappearance very badly: the event caused him to drop out of college and triggered his existing chronic depression. As this became more and more severe throughout the year before the events of Until Dawn, he turned to Sam for support. Medical records from around this time suggest he came dangerously close to committing suicide, and his delirious state resulted in him being committed to Oceanview Hospital for observation while his psychiatrist, Dr. Alan Hill, considered possible treatments. Though Josh was discharged two weeks later with a new prescription of the medication Phenelzine, he had changed: while appearing good-humored and sociable, he became consumed with the desire of taking revenge on his friends for causing his sisters' disappearance and stopped taking his medication.

   Josh's desire for revenge is eventually put into action through his knowledge of movies and special effects. He fakes his own death and creates an alter ego: the Psycho. As the Psycho, Josh subjects some of his friends to various traps he put together. When he finally reveals himself to his friends, Josh shows a clear disconnect from reality - laughing off his last "prank" on Chris and Ashley, and gleefully telling them they will become internet sensations.

   Josh breakdown mines Josh's mental breakdown. While Dr. Hill does exist, in the game he is a hallucination of Josh: this hallucinatory psychiatrist is an embodiment of Josh's self-loathing and guilt, as seen when he aggressively chastises Josh for his ''game'' or berates him for not saving his sisters, even though he was physically unable to do so. During Dr. Hill's therapy sessions, the player can choose Josh's anxieties and insecurities, but he has a canon fear of isolation.[4] This fear eventually becomes reality when Josh is alone in the Wendigo's lair, confronted on all sides by hallucinatory visions of his sisters who accuse him of wanting them dead, which he tearfully denies, once again reflecting his overwhelming feelings of guilt and grief. Until Dawn

   Biography

   2024

   Movie-loving Josh is the brother of twin sisters Hannah and Beth Washington, who both went missing from their family lodge in Blackwood Mountain after a prank gone wrong during a winter getaway with friends. A year later, Josh, still struggling with his sisters' disappearance, invites the same friends back to the lodge, promising a night they'll never forget.[5]

   2015

   Josh is the first child of movie mogul Bob Washington and his wife, Melinda. He, along with his family, would frequently travel to the family lodge located on Blackwood Mountain during each summer and winter. As he got older, his father became too busy to hang out with him, which brought him and his sisters closer together.

   Josh was studying psychology at college prior to Hannah's and Beth's disappearance, which caused him to drop out. He has struggled to come to terms with the disappearance of his sisters.

   A bit older than the rest of the group, Josh is something of an older brother figure to Chris. He loves taking the helm, organizing cool events, and making sure that everybody has an awesome time.

   Josh definitely has a bit of a party-animal streak (honed in his freshman year), but his warm and friendly personality will win everybody around in the end.[2]

   In the remake

   Sleeping Josh Josh moved to the sofa by his sisters. Josh, along with his sisters, invited all of their closest friends to the mountain for a weekend of fun. Much like the original game, Josh is passed out on the kitchen counter, having drank too much. Beth remarks that "once again brother, you’ve outdone us all." Beth and Hannah lovingly grab their brother and move him to the sofa, where they lay him down to make him comfortable. Josh continues to stay passed out and is unable to stop the prank on Hannah and the eventual disappearance of his sisters. In the original game

   Josh and his sisters invited all of their closest friends to the mountain for a weekend of fun. As the night progressed, Josh, along with Chris, passed out from drinking heavily. Due to this, he was unaware of the impending prank on Hannah and was ultimately unable to intervene. Chapter 1

   Josh Video Josh recording his video (2015 version). Before the chapter opens, Sam is shown riding a bus to Blackwood Pines, while listening to a radio report of Hannah and Beth on her phone, who are still confirmed missing. After the broadcast, she presses the return button, and the screen cuts to Josh recording a video. After his failed intro, he starts again by happily welcoming all his friends back to the "annual Blackwood winter getaway." He then laments by saying that it won't be easy to return to the mountain after what happened the previous year and that it means so much to him that they're doing this and to Hannah and Beth because they're "all still together, thinking of them." His true goal is to spend some quality time with everyone and make it a night they'll never forget, for the sake of his sisters.

   When Sam later meets up with Chris, they discuss Josh's state. They express admiration for how he deals with his situation, but Sam also questions if coming back was the right thing to do. Chris argues that he hasn't seen him so excited in forever, and reminisces about meeting Josh in third grade.

   Chapter 2

   Josh returns to the lodge, happy to see that everyone else had decided to return as well. Delighted to see his friend Chris, they discover the door’s lock is frozen and he accompanies Chris to get inside the basement to find a way in. On the path, he talks to Chris about Ashley and partakes in a joke to "rip her parka right off her and make some snow angels," to which Chris can either agree with him or tell him to take it down a notch. Josh then asks him if he could "imagine a more perfect, ripe scenario, just dripping with erotic possibilities" as there are no parents around and that he's laid everything down for this moment, as Chris has been nothing but perfect to Ashley. Chris can then agree with him or disagree. No matter what, Josh finishes his part of the conversation by encouraging him to try.

   After finding another entryway, Chris climbs through the basement window and ends up falling flat on his back, assuring Josh that's he's okay and that he should have paid more attention in climbing class, to which Josh replies by correcting him. After that, the light bulb suddenly bursts, catching them unaware and confused. Josh hands Chris a lighter and has an idea concerning a deodorant can in the bathroom. He tells Chris that if he uses the can and the lighter, he can make a flamethrower to thaw the lock. Chris understands and says that it reminds him of the plastic army soldiers they used to melt when they were younger.

   Josh then tells Chris that he needs to check something and asks if he'll be up for a trip in the dark by himself. Chris responds that he isn't, but he'll still do it, and so, Josh leaves after saluting Chris. When the lodge entrance is open, Josh reappears just as Chris is being teased by Sam and Ashley for being frightened by a baby wolverine, and adds in by saying that he shouldn't worry because he's "going to be a big boy soon."

   After everyone's inside, Josh begins to light a fire for everyone but ends up having to stop either a physical dispute between Matt and Mike, or a catfight between Emily and Jessica. Irritated, he says that this isn't what he wanted and that if they all can't be together for one night then maybe they need a break. To diffuse the tension, he advises Mike and Jessica to find the guest cabin, while Matt and Emily leave the lodge to find Emily’s lost bag. He then asks Chris to find a spirit board for a little bit of fun, to which Ashley wholeheartedly agrees and goes to find it, with Chris following behind her. Once the fire's going, he descends into the basement with Sam, who came downstairs as there was no hot water left for her bath. As they attempt to start the water boiler, Sam hears a strange noise after Josh asks her to shine the torch his way so he can find the switch.

   Josh and Sam investigate noise remake Josh and Sam following the noise in the basement. When the boiler successfully works, the two can either share a high five, or Sam ignores him. Sometime after this, they hear a rhythmic noise which Sam describes as regular. Josh becomes anxious and tells her that there's nothing "regular" about it. Regardless of the choices at this point, a masked man, dressed in an old monk robe, jumps out on them and chases them all the way to the basement door as Sam tries to unlock it, much to her annoyance. Josh replies to her by saying they lock it to "keep out strangers." When the masked man stops in his tracks, Sam, regaining her breath, walks over in disbelief as the man reveals himself to be none other than Chris, who happily declares that they "just got monked." After Sam asks Josh if he was in on it, he denies his involvement by complementing Chris, saying that it was "too good" and later playfully teases Sam for being frightened by the experience.

   After Mike and Jess leave the lodge, Josh follows them and hands them the keys to the cabin before departing again.

   Chapter 3

   Josh seance 2024 3 Josh playing with the spirit board. A few hours later, Josh, along with Chris and Ashley, play with the spirit board. Chris chooses Ashley to start them off as she is a "recent convert." After the cursor on the board replies by needing help, a scared Ashley asks who they are, per Chris' request. The board responds with one answer that startles them all: "sister." Now visibly distressed, Josh initially wants to find out more about what the spirit is saying.

   Chris becomes very skeptical, but Josh tells him to shut up and tells Ashley to ask which sister they're speaking to. She can either choose to ask for Hannah or Beth, but the answer for either one is "yes." Chris then says that if this truly was one of the twins, they could finally tell them what happened the night they disappeared. When they ask the spirit, the cursor rapidly glides to different letters to make a plethora of words, such as "killed," "proof" and "library" as Chris correctly guesses the answers the spirit spells out. Just as the trio figure out the board's clues, the cursor suddenly flies off the table. The three feel different emotions: Chris is rather entertained while Ashley is shocked. Josh, on the other hand, becomes upset and annoyed with them. He wonders if it was a trick to make him deal with his grief. Ignoring their pleas of denial, Josh calls them ''full of it'' before storming off. Ashley then asks Chris if they should check up on him, to which he replies that he needs to left alone for a while.

   Understanding his feelings concerning his sisters, Ashley states that she doesn't blame him for it. After some time, they follow the spirit's last words and head to the library, where they are able to pick up a clue in a hidden bookcase that makes them concerned. This makes them wander around the house looking for Josh. Not long after, Josh screams from the kitchen, and Ashley tries to break through the doors, only to be suddenly pulled in. Chris shouts her name and breaks through the seemingly locked doors and looks around for them. He momentarily sees Ashley lying on the floor, but a strange man suddenly appears and knocks him out.

   Chapter 4

   After waking up, Chris is slightly dazed with a large bruise on the left side of his head. Worried about his friends, he picks up a torch and follows down a pathway seemingly made for him. Along the way, his worries increase as he sees blood splatters on the walls and floorboards, Ashley's bloodied pouch and a pig head. He then approaches a shed and walks inside, shouting out Ashley's name. She then responds, frightened as to what's happening. He tries to reassure her before a light is suddenly turned on, revealing a contraption with Ashley and Josh, who is still unconscious, cuffed and chained to the front of a board. A disembodied voice emanates within the room which thanks the group for "joining him." Ashley, growing terrified, rouses Josh back to consciousness, and he too becomes confused and scared.

As he says this, a large mechanical saw fires up and proceeds across the rail to Ashley and Josh, who are both screaming to Chris to help them. Chris, struggling to focus, then decides to save one of them. At this point, the player's choice doesn't matter; Josh will be chosen to die. Feeling betrayed, Josh yells at Chris, asking why he did this and what he did to deserve it. The saw then dismembers Josh by the waist, his screams echoing within the shed and splatters a part of Ashley's body with his blood. Now that the "experiment" has finished, a door opens to let Chris out and help Ashley and tells her not to look, at which she shouts at him and just wants to get out. While walking away from the scene, Ashley accidentally looks at Josh's corpse and becomes racked with grief before the two make their way out of the shed.

   Emily and Matt see them as they emerge down the path and run to them. Confused and worried, they ask them what happened. Chris, clearly distraught by the experience, tries to get his words out but just collapses and tells them about the "maniac" and Josh. Now knowing what they're up against, Emily and Matt tell them to go back to the lodge and find the others, while they find help.

   Chapter 5

   Ashley, Chris, and Josh are briefly mentioned by Matt and Emily as they discuss Josh's death and the mystery surrounding it. Emily asks Matt if they should have checked the shed to see if what they were saying was true.

   Josh, as The Psycho, will later play a video of his "death" to Sam in the cinema room, causing her to scream out in fear, before chasing her around in the lodge and its basement. Depending on the player's choices, Sam will either evade him or be captured.

   Chapter 6

   Josh is mentioned numerous times by the other protagonists. While at the fire tower, Emily can tell the rangers about the maniac killing "one of her friends." Chris and Ashley will also mention Josh numerous times, most notably when Ashley thanks Chris for saving her life over Josh's. Apart from these mentions, Josh will watch Chris and Ashley closely as they make their way through the lodge and its basement in search of Sam. He scares them through props he remotely controls, such as lighting a candle as Ashley walks past it, and controlling a moving "ghost," terrifying Ashley and confusing Chris. When Ashley and Chris later find a tied up Sam, or a dummy in her clothes if she escaped, they will be captured by Josh as the Psycho, who chloroformes Chris with gas, before turning to Ashley. If Ashley has collected scissors from the basement, she will stab her attacker in the shoulder. Enraged, Josh will sucker-punch her unconscious, leaving her with a black eye.

   During this time, Sam finds herself in Josh's lair, as a result of evading Josh or being captured by him. If she escaped him, she investigates the workshop, discovering several clues to the Psycho's true identity, including Josh's phone with a text exchange between him and his psychiatrist, Dr. Hill, a medical report and a voice recording. If she was captured, she is strapped to a chair and has to be rescued by Mike.

   Chris and Ashley then awaken to find themselves strapped into chairs with a gun sitting on the table between them. Once again, Josh contacts them over a loudspeaker and orders Chris to take the gun and either shoot himself or Ashley, telling them the survivor can leave unharmed. The gun, however, has blanks - meaning that Chris shooting himself or Ashley won't be fatal. No sooner has Chris decided or Sam and Mike burst in, just in time to see the Psycho entering the room and unmasking himself - revealing himself as Josh.

   Chapter 7

   Josh revealed remake Josh reveals himself to be the masked maniac. When Josh reveals himself to be the Psycho to a shocked Sam, Mike, Chris, and Ashley, Josh seems completely unaware of the serious impact of his pranks on the group and laughs. He concludes that his horror escapade was a way of getting revenge on his friends after their prank on his sisters the previous year, which caused their disappearance, and explains that he wanted his friends to experience the same feelings his sisters did. He clarifies how he's still alive: he had used a fake body back at the sawmill, and the saw was rigged to go to Josh no matter what Chris did, allowing him to fake his death and proceed as planned. Chris subtly defends Josh, stating "he's definitely off his meds," and "he's sick" when Mike gets angry.

   After revealing his plan, which was to prank them on camera and release the footage on the internet to make them "internet sensations," Mike exclaims that Jessica is dead. Josh freezes and is visibly surprised by this, giving Mike the opportunity to knock him unconscious. He is led back to the shed by Chris and Mike and while they argue, Josh tries explaining he has no idea what happened to Jess. Josh slowly displays signs of instability, such as making strange, concerning comments and provoking to the two based on their past choices. He is tied to a support beam in the shed, and Mike stays with him, watching him babble various movie quotes while Chris returns to the lodge.

   Chapter 8

   During this time, Emily is fleeing from the Wendigo in the mines, either dying in the attempt or making it back to the lodge. In any event, her screams carry as far as the shed, prompting Mike to investigate and leaving Josh behind in the process. Soon after, the Stranger arrives to explain the true nature of the threat on the mountain.

   After The Stranger informs the group about the Wendigo, Mike realizes he left Josh outside with the creature and notifies the group. It becomes clear Chris still considers Josh a friend, as he claims he is "letting him down" and is, regardless of Ashley's attempts to make him stay, convinced to rescue him. When the Stranger and Chris arrive at the shed, however, Josh is nowhere to be seen. The stool he was sitting on is broken, with a bloody puddle around it. Later in the chapter, it is revealed that a Wendigo dragged him away.

   While the remaining group bunker down at Psycho's monitor room in the Old Hotel, they mention Josh, saying he would have the cable-car keys to leave the mountain. Emily points out the Wendigo could have brought him into the mine, its lair.

   After the group leaves to find Mike, Josh is seen in Dr, Hill's "office," although now it is more like the forest on Blackwood Mountain, filled with trees and snow.[6] The man scolds Josh for what he's done, throughout the game and to his sisters, causing Josh sit with his head in his hands. Dr. Hill tells him everyone has left him because of his actions. After this, the dialogue between them can change slightly depending on whether or not the player chose they dislike Josh the most in Chapter 3.

   Chapter 9

   Josh is seen falling into the mines and landing unconscious.

   Chapter 10

   Mike and Sam find Josh Josh found breaking down by Mike and Sam. Josh was dragged across the mountain and dropped into the mines where he awakens. His fear of being alone combined with intense hallucinations cause him to have a complete nervous and mental breakdown. It becomes clear that his "sessions" with Dr. Hill were hallucinations, formed out of actual former sessions he had. Once Dr. Hill finally leaves him, Josh begins to have graphic visions of his sisters, offal, and sees some of his fears come to life. He screams at them, saying "I don't take orders from you," before seeing the huge head of a Wendigo move towards him.

   Sam and Mike rescue him by following his screams and find him in a catatonic state before Mike snaps him out of it. Being unable to climb a rock face in his condition, Sam traverses up while he follows Mike through a room containing the bodies of the deceased and wade back through the underground lake Sam and Mike had. Mike and Josh are ambushed by Hannah, now a Wendigo, as she emerges from the surface and pulls Mike under, then grabs Josh. If Josh recognizes Hannah too late, she will kill him on the spot by crushing his skull. If the Scrawled Journal was found, however, Josh will shout out her name and Hannah recognizes him as well and spares him, dragging him away as Mike retreats.

   Credits

   In the remake

   See Butterfly Effect A Second Chance.

   As opposed to his two endings in the original game — death or his transformation into a Wendigo — Josh can survive in the remake as a human. For this, Josh must show remorse over his actions during the therapy session with Dr. Hill in Chapter 8, where he must pick "They hurt me," which then (depending on earlier made choices) unlocks the following option to say "I'm so sorry."

   However, the option for Josh to express remorse does not always appear, and it is unclear which specific decisions trigger this outcome, as the necessary decisions vary significantly and there are multiple different accounts given for how to get it.

   Apart from being remorseful in Chapter 8, the following prerequisites must also be met for Josh to survive:

   Sam must find the journal Hannah wrote in the mines, as it will result in Josh being spared by Hannah due to the two recognizing each other. Nobody in the group, aside from the Stranger, was killed. Any of their deaths will result in Josh having a breakdown out of remorse and will result in him turning into a Wendigo regardless of whether he showed remorse earlier. Josh Alive Ending Josh, seeking redemption, is alive. If the ending is attained, a flashlight beam is shined on a metal door in the mines, presumably from a police officer. Josh will then be seen down in the mine, in a dire state but alive, holding his face in his hands. Dr. Hill tells him his game drove him to his deepest fear, isolation, and that he hopes he can find redemption. The scene ends with Josh looking up.

   However, if Josh did not show remorse and/or if any his friends died, but Sam found the Scrawled Journal resulting in him recognizing Hannah, he will be seen partially transformed into a Wendigo, the same ending as the only one he can have in the original game if he survives. In the original game

   If he was spared by Hannah, Josh will have no clue how to escape the cavernous mines. Completely mentally broken and isolated from all human contact (which is implied to be his greatest fear), Josh is overwhelmed with hunger as time passes, and he succumbs to the Wendigo Spirit. If anyone else survived the night, and thus talked to the police about the mines, Josh is discovered by two rangers cannibalizing the head of The Stranger, while he's in the process of turning into a Wendigo, before turning towards them, growling and presumably killing them. If nobody survived except Josh, the two rangers won't discover him, as they weren't given a lead to investigate the mines, but Josh will still cannibalize The Stranger, in the process of turning into a Wendigo, and look at the camera as the screen fades to black. Mentions

   Josh can be mentioned by every single protagonist during the police interviews, except for Jessica.

   If Sam survived, she will tell the authorities that she thought that the two of them were close, due to Josh reaching out to Sam after the disappearance of Hannah and Beth. If Mike survived, he will tell the rangers that Josh was "out of his fucking mind" and that he thought that Josh attacked Jess. If Mike survived while Sam did not, he will indicate that Josh helped them with the key, but the Wendigo attacked them and then it took and possibly murdered Josh. If Matt survived while Sam, Mike and Jess did not, he will report that the "madman" killed Josh, not knowing that Josh himself was the "madman." If Emily survived while Sam, Mike, Jess and Matt did not, she will say that she did not see Josh in the lodge, so he must be in the mines instead. If Ashley survived and she stabbed Josh, she will express regret over stabbing Josh, but will then defend herself stating that she didn't know that the Psycho was Josh. If Ashley survived while Sam, Mike, Jess, Matt and Emily did not, she will state that the Wendigo most likely took Josh to the mines and that everyone was supposed to meet up. If Chris survived and he knocked Josh out in the shed, Chris will justify it by saying that he was acting like a maniac and trying to "fuck with their heads." If Chris survived while Sam, Mike, Jess, Matt, Emily and Ashley did not, he will express deep sadness about his unknown whereabouts. He'll state that a Wendigo taking Josh down to the mines is the only thing that makes sense. Possible Death

   Possible Death Relationships

   Hannah

   See Hannah and Josh for more information.

   Hannah and Beth put Josh on the couch 2024 Hannah and Beth place Josh on the couch. Hannah is Josh's younger sister and the two had a very close bond. He has fond memories of her, along with the rest of their family, playing baseball during summers at the lodge. He is shown to love Hannah very much, as evidenced by the engraved jewelry box he gave her, the mementos he kept of her on the Remembrance Board, and his distress over learning what happened to her. Hannah writes in her diary about Josh's mental struggles and hospital visit, saying that his loneliness makes her want to cry. Due to Hannah and Beth’s disappearances, Josh’s mental health becomes worse and he orchestrates a malicious prank against his friends whom he blamed. His hallucination in Chapter 10 shows that he feels heavy sorrow and guilt over Hannah’s disappearance. This scene in the remake indicates that he had tried to search for both his sisters.

   If Sam finds the Scrawled Journal, she will tell Josh about Hannah’s fate. This will cause Josh to recognize the Wendigo as Hannah, she will recognize him as well. Due to this, she will spare him and drag him deeper into the mines, indicating that she still feels sentimentally towards Josh, even after losing most of her humanity. However, if Josh did not hear the truth of what happened to her, he will be too late in recognizing her and she will kill him. Should Josh become a Wendigo at the end of the game, his fate parallels Hannah’s.

   Beth

   Beth trusted and cared for Josh. They were very close, as evidenced by her fond attitude towards him in the prologue and a beach photo of Josh with Beth and Hannah. During the prologue, Beth checks on Josh who is passed out on the counter and finds his drunken state amusing, claiming that he has “outdone [them] all.” In the remake, she and Hannah will carry him to the couch. After Beth discovers Mike's note to Hannah, she has the option to try to wake Josh. In the year following the twins’ disappearance, Josh’s depression worsens, causing Hill to prescribe him stronger medication. Eventually, Josh pulls a sinister prank to, in part, force his friends to empathize with his sisters. He is distraught over his sisters’ disappearance and keeps mementos from them on a Remembrance Board. Beth and Hannah appear to Josh in ghastly, partially decayed forms while he hallucinates in the mines, and, in the remake, he tells them: "I swear I tried to find you.”

   Ashley

   Ashley is the love interest of Josh’s best friend Chris. Josh has a strong fascination with their relationship and often teases Chris about it, both encouraging him to be more forceful and criticizing him for not taking steps to make things official with Ashley. Josh and Ashley get along, and Ashley is attentive to his feelings, becoming guilty when she thinks that the seance has upset him.

   Ashley becomes one of the main victims of Josh’s prank. He captures her twice, forcing her into his saw traps. If Ashley stabs Josh while he is trying to knock her out with gas, he will lose his temper and punch her instead, giving her a black eye. After she learns that Josh is the Psycho, Ashley seems to harbor some resentment towards him. If Chris hits Josh in the shed, Ashley will claim that “maybe he deserved it.” She tries to dissuade Chris from rescuing Josh, saying that Josh let Chris and everyone else down. Ashley can talk about Josh during two interviews. If she had stabbed him, she desperately tells the police that she did not know the Psycho was Josh. She may also tell the police that the Wendigo took Josh to the mines.

   Based on player choice, Josh may tell Hill that Ashley is his least favorite among the group. If he does, Hill will wonder if Josh believes Ashley deserves what he is about to do to her. Later, Hill will angrily tell Josh that Ashley did nothing to him.

   In Ashley’s base stats, Josh is tied for second with Sam and Matt, following Chris. In Josh’s base stats, Ashley is tied for second with Sam and Jessica, following Chris.

   Lead the way Cochise Chris is Josh's best friend. They have a long history, having met in third grade, and Sam refers to them as a “match made in heaven.” Josh often refers to Chris affectionately and has given him the nickname, “Cochise.” The two of them share a sense of humor and joke around often. Josh is invested in Chris’ personal life and pressures him to pursue a relationship with Ashley. To this, Chris can respond positively, laughing and saying that Josh might be right, or negatively, telling Josh to cut it out and that he’s afraid of losing his friendship with Ashley. Josh continues to fixate on the relationship, even intentionally having Chris and Ashley search for the spirit board so that they are alone together. It is likely that his saw traps also functioned as a way for Chris and Ashley to bond over shared trauma. However, if Chris does not say that he will save Josh in the first saw trap, Josh will feel betrayed by this.

   Josh, acting as the Psycho, horribly torments Chris. He knocks him out twice and forces him to make traumatizing choices. Despite this, he seems to want to maintain their friendship, responding with bewilderment when Chris is cold towards him on the way to the shed. He continues to refer to them as bros and calls Chris his partner, but will mock him if Chris did not intend to save Josh from the first saw trap. Chris also appears to feel ambivalently towards Josh. He will punch Josh if Josh had punched Ashley prior, and he can choose to knock Josh out later—a decision he ultimately regrets. However, he will also defend him at points, claiming he’s sick. Chris cannot imagine that he killed Jessica as Mike claims.

   Despite his initial hostility towards Josh, Chris becomes distressed when he learns that Josh may be trapped outside with a Wendigo on the loose. If he had knocked out Josh, he states that he won’t let anything else happen to him. If he hadn’t hit Josh, he says that Josh is his best friend. If Chris is the sole survivor, he will cry when the police bring up Josh then say that he’s in the mines. In a segment with Hill, Josh may say, if the player chooses, that he dislikes Chris the most of the group. Hill will ask Josh if he believes that Chris deserves what Josh is about to do to him. Later, Hill questions how Josh could hate his best friend so much.

   In Chris’s base stats, Josh is tied with Ashley for first. In Josh’s base stats, Chris is first.

   Josh is the only protagonist who doesn't directly interact with Emily throughout the game. During the prologue, she participated in the prank which caused the disappearance of Josh’s sisters. However, he invites her back to the lodge the following year and counts her among the group’s “four lovely ladies” in a conversation with Chris. In the lodge, he will become angry when Emily engages in an argument with Jessica and say that they didn’t come back to the lodge to fight. Josh, as part of his Psycho prank, leaves a pig head—along with a threatening note—on the trail which Emily and Matt to find. When Chris and Ashley tell Emily about Josh’s “death,” Emily reacts with disbelief and wonders if she and Matt should check the shed to confirm the story. However, Matt convinces her not to, saying there are some things people can’t unsee. When Emily and Matt go to the cable car station for help, Josh locks the gate behind them, watching them through monitors. They arrive at the station to find that it has been sinisterly trashed, something Josh had done to frighten them. In the ending interviews, Emily can tell the police that Josh is in the mines, likely dead.

   If the player chooses to make Emily his least favorite member of the group, Hill will guess that Emily is a little bitchy for Josh’s tastes. However, he points out that Josh relates to Emily because they both mask their lack of confidence with overconfidence.

   In Josh’s base stats, Emily is tied with Mike for second-to-last place, only above Matt. In Emily’s base stats, Josh is tied with Chris and Ashley for second-to-last place, only above Jess.

   Josh has a fairly amicable relationship with Jessica, despite her being the one who organized the prank on Hannah. He often implies that he finds Jessica attractive, and the two share traits such as their love of partying. However, Josh will become angry with Jessica if she engages in an argument with Emily the lodge. He sends her and Mike to the guest cabin, perhaps with the intention of pranking them, though this never happens due to Jessica being abducted (and potentially killed) by a Wendigo. He teases Jessica as he gives her the key to the cabin, and Jessica tells Mike that she suspects Josh was flirting with her. When Mike jokingly suggests that they should invite Josh to come with them, she seems okay with the idea. After Josh reveals himself to be the Psycho, Mike accuses him of murdering Jessica. Josh does exhibit genuine concern for Jessica, telling Mike he’s sorry something happened to her. However, when Mike continues to disbelieve him, Josh uses Jessica as a way to taunt Mike. He claims he would recall killing her because she’s soft and has a "tight bod."

   It is possible, based on the player’s choice, for Josh to tell Hill that Jessica is his least favorite member of the group. Hill will respond by saying that Jessica is a little dumb, but that Josh doesn’t have to worry about her for the time being.

   In Josh’s base stats, Jessica is tied with Sam and Ashley for second place, below Chris. In Jessica’s base stats, Josh is ranked third place, below Mike and Matt.

Matt ultimately takes part in the prank the pulled on Josh’s sister Hannah, by filming the incident. Josh gets ahold of this tape and uses it in his prank.

   A year later, Josh welcomes Matt back to the lodge, and Matt’s response can be friendly or moody depending on whether or not he saw Emily and Mike through the telescope. If he is moody, Josh appears a little offended, asking Chris, “what’s wrong with [Matt].” If Matt attacks Mike in the lodge, Josh will pull him off Mike and snap at them both. Josh may also break up a fight between Emily and Jessica in which Matt is involved. After whichever fight takes place, Matt offers to help Josh get the fire going.

   Josh pranks Matt and Emily by leaving a pig head and threatening letter in the woods. When they hurry back to the lodge, they run into Chris and Ashley who claim Josh has been killed in a saw trap. Josh expresses horror at Josh’s supposed death and, saying he does not want see Josh’s body, prevents Emily from going to check the shed.

   Mike and Josh’s interactions are varied; while they are friends, there is often bad blood between them. In the Prologue, Mike was a key participant in the prank that caused Josh’s sisters to go missing. However, Josh greets Mike cordially when they return to the lodge the following year. Josh becomes angered if Matt attacks Mike and will help pull Matt off Mike, demanding that everyone stop fighting. He will encourage Mike and Jessica to go up to the guest cabin to be alone, which benefits Mike’s goals to hook up with Jessica but also serves to further Josh’s own plans.

   After Josh is revealed to be the Psycho, Mike becomes enraged—believing that Josh murdered Jessica—and attacks him, knocking him out with the side of a gun. Mike and Chris then bring Josh to a shed in order to keep him secured. Josh’s behavior towards Mike becomes snide and erratic here. Josh expresses fury at what he considers unfair treatment from Mike but also toys with him. While he initially apologizes sincerely for Jessica’s death and claims to know nothing about it, he later talks about her body which antagonizes Mike. His attitude towards Mike is both amused and resentful. He eventually slips so far into insanity that he seems not to mind staying in the shed with Mike on guard, and stating it’s a sleepover.

   Eventually, Mike and Sam find Josh in the mines, and Mike will hit him to snap him out of his trance. The group splits, and Mike goes back through the mines with Josh. As they walk, Josh tells Mike he did not have to hit him so many times, and Mike apologizes, saying he was wrong about Josh killing Jessica. Hannah, as a Wendigo, attacks the pair and Mike hides as she either kills or kidnaps Josh. In Mike’s interview, he can tell the police that he heard screaming but that it was too dark to see anything, and he didn’t see any point to him and Josh both dying.

   It is possible, by the player’s choice, for Josh to tell Hill that Mike is his least favorite member of the group. Hill will agree that Mike comes across as a jerk.

   In Josh’s base stats, Mike is tied with Emily for second-to-last place, above Matt. In Mike’s base stats, Josh is tied with Sam and Chris for third place, following Jessica and Emily.

   Sam Josh basement remake Sam and Josh know each other well, and Sam is best friends with Josh’s sister Hannah. In the prologue, a picture shows Sam and Josh hanging out with Matt, Chris, and Mike. While at the lodge the following year, Sam and Josh go down to the basement together to turn on the hot water. On the way to the boiler, Josh tells Sam that he is glad she came back to the lodge. He shows concern for her a few times in the basement, stating that he doesn’t want her to be down there alone, going with her to explore the source of the noise, and attempting to shield her after the two are chased by Chris wearing a disguise. Sam is supportive of Josh, reassuring him that she and the others are there for him. They can potentially talk about Josh’s memories of his family, and they enjoy teasing each other, such as when Sam tricks Josh into looking behind him.

   As the Psycho, Josh torments Sam by stealing her clothes and having her watch footage of both herself bathing and his faked death. He then chases her through the lodge while taunting her efforts to escape. If he does not capture her, she will discover his workshop and read his medical file. When he reveals himself, she will then note that his fingerprints were all over the mystery, and that he wanted to get caught as a cry for help. While Sam goes along with the plan to keep Josh outside, she will become upset if Chris admits to having hit him.

   Sam, along with Mike, sees Josh again in the mines. He gives her the key to the cable car, and she can potentially tell him what became of his sister. In an interview with police officers, Sam admits to feeling betrayed by him after the prank he pulled on the group, saying that she talked to Josh after he lost his sisters and that he had said that they had a connection.

   It is possible, through the player’s choice, for Josh to tell Hill that Sam is his least favorite of the group. Hill responds by saying Sam is feisty but that he otherwise cannot see what’s not to like. He wonders if Josh is intimidated by Sam’s strength and beauty. This indicates that Josh perhaps knows that the things he dislikes about Sam are irrational.

   In Sam’s stats, Josh is tied with Chris, Ashley, Emily, and Matt—but higher than Jessica and Mike. In Josh’s stats, Sam is tied for second place (after Chris) along with Jessica and Ashley.

    I'm such an idiot! I'm so dumb... HANNAH

    Hannah Washington is a non-playable character and the main antagonist of Until Dawn. She was the middle child of the Washington family - the older twin sister of Beth and the younger sister of Josh Washington.

    After she fell victim to a prank orchestrated by her friends, Hannah fled into the woods, followed by Beth. It is here where they were cornered and fell off a cliff. The sisters were never seen again. Hannah survived her fall, but eventually succumbed to cannibalism, turning her into a Wendigo. As a Wendigo, Hannah stalks and potentially kills her friends throughout the course of the night.

    Like Beth, she was voiced and motion captured by actress Ella Lentini.

    Hannah is a teenage girl with medium-shoulder length dark brown hair and brown eyes. Hannah's height is 5'8" (172 cm) and her weight is 110 lbs, the same as Beth.[2] She wears onyx-black rectangular glasses, blue jeans and a black, lacy blouse. After Beth finds her in the woods, she wears Beth's fuchsia winter coat.

    In the reworked Prologue of the 2024 version, before Hannah went to see Mike, she wore a red hooded jacket and gray yoga pants with black vertical lines, matching the outfit Sam wears later in the game.

    Hannah Portrait Photo She has a tattoo of a black butterfly on her upper right arm, which she got after taking a magazine compatibility test that advised her to do something reckless in order to get Mike's attention, such as getting a tattoo or running away from home. Hannah also wears a heart-shaped locket with a picture of her and Beth. ADVERTISEMENT

    Personality

    At the beginning of the game, Hannah had a crush on Mike. Based on her diary and her actions in the Prologue, she is seen as being very trusting towards others. Her twin sister refers to her as being 'naive'.

    Hannah's near-obsessive crush on Mike and the lengths she goes to in an attempt to get him to notice her suggest she is rather insecure and tries her best to be appreciated by others. Given the results of the compatibility test, she is probably the opposite of Mike in terms of personality, who generally comes across as bold and outgoing. Until Dawn

As Beth enters from outside, the two move a passed-out Josh from the kitchen counter to the couch, on the opposite side of another passed out Chris. An excited Hannah then enters her room, picks out an outfit to impress Mike, and writes a quick diary entry about the ordeal. She looks at herself in the mirror and chugs a red cup with alcohol to muster up courage. As Hannah eventually enters the guest room, she is met by Mike who sits in a chair. The pair greet each other, and Hannah begins to unbutton her shirt.

In the original game

    Around 2 AM on February 2nd of 2014, the protagonists (with the exception of Sam, who was unwilling, and Josh and Chris, who had passed out from drinking) decided to play a prank on an unsuspecting Hannah. As Sam criticizes the cruelty of the prank, Jessica brushes this off, claiming she deserves it for making moves on Emily's then-boyfriend, Mike. They leave a note behind for Hannah, convincing her to come to the guest room, signed by Mike. The group then head up to the room and hide there.

    Hannah5 Hannah is pranked. As Hannah enters the guest room, she meets Mike, who convinces her to take off her top. However, her friends reveal themselves right as Hannah does so. Out of embarrassment, she flees into the woods. The group chases after her to the door, calling out to her. Beth, noticing a shadow outside, discovers what the group has done. After calling them jerks, she proceeds to chase after her sister into the woods, where she will later find her crying in the snow. After finding Hannah, they see an unknown figure (revealed as a Wendigo later) behind them, which then follows the two until they reach the edge of a cliff.

    Hannah and Beth both fall off the cliff when backing up, but Beth manages to grab a hanging branch with one hand and Hannah's hand with the other.

    Beth & Hannah's Corpse The Stranger reaches his hand out to Beth, who can either drop Hannah off the cliff and attempt to take his hand, or let go of the branch and fall with her. Regardless of Beth's choice they will both fall into a cave, and their bodies are shown landing on large rocks. While Beth died in her fall, Hannah survived for 30 more days in the mines, before eventually succumbing to cannibalism by eating Beth's corpse and transforming into a Wendigo. Chapter 1

    The one-year anniversary of Hannah and Beth's disappearance is mentioned on a radio report Sam is listening to. The report turns into a video message from Josh, who remarks that Hannah and Beth would be happy if they knew they were coming together in remembrance of them.

    Chapter 2

    Hannahs Room Hannah's bedroom. While looking for Josh, Sam has the option to visit Hannah's room. Here it is revealed Hannah's crush on Mike was even bigger than imaginable, as multiple clues relate to her wanting to prove herself to him. The room is decorated with butterfly clippings and photos of her family and friends. Hannah as a Wendigo appears briefly for the first time right after Mike finds Fortune Totem #1, crawling on the ceiling in the mine very quickly. Hannah then also appears as a jumpscare when Mike looks through the telescope for a split second.

    Chapter 3

    Hannah as a Wendigo is seen stalking Mike and Jessica as they make their way to the guest cabin. After pulling away a dying deer in front of the pair, they run away, convinced they are being chased by a bear. After the couple make it inside, Hannah throws Jessica's phone through a cabin window, luring Jessica outside, who is convinced her friends play a prank on her. After Jess boasts about having sex with Mike, Hannah grabs her through the cabin door's window.

    Chapter 4

    Hannah proceeds to drag Jess through the snow and into the mines after having kidnapped her, where she potentially kills her if Mike does not catch up. While looking up, Mike will see the Wendigo and can shoot at her, causing a bullet to be stuck in her head if he does so. If Mike fails to slide down the closing gate, Hannah will be seen stalking him as he makes his way out of the mines through a different tunnel.

    Chapter 6

    Hannah next targets Matt and Emily, cutting the cables to the Fire Tower, causing it to collapse into the mine. If Matt dies by falling off the cliff, Hannah will drag his lifeless body away. If Matt chooses to save Emily, after he fell from the fire tower Hannah will attack him in the mines and, if Matt doesn't have a usable flare gun or fails to shoot it, will kill Matt.

    Chapter 7

    Glasses Emily finds Hannah's glasses, showing that she was in the mines. When Emily is making her way through the mines, she is able to find clues. If these are collected during the chapter, it reveals that Hannah miraculously survived the fall with only a broken leg and minor scratches. However, Beth was the unfortunate one of the two. As Beth had succumbed from major injuries, Hannah became the sole witness of her passing. For days, Hannah wandered, searching for a way out and awaited rescue while doing so. During her time down in the mines, she created a make-shift grave for Beth, all the while ignoring her hunger pains. A month after the fall, she reluctantly gave in to her hunger and decided to dig up Beth's grave and eat her corpse for sustenance, unaware of the fact that the spirit of a Wendigo was possessing her. Within a few days, Hannah had transformed into a Wendigo and finally escaped the mines.

    Chapter 8

    Hannah is briefly seen if Emily has been caught by the Stranger. The Stranger pushes Emily down a slide to safety while faces off against Hannah with his flamethrower. After facing off with the Stranger, Hannah ends up finding and pursuing Emily. If Emily messes up in certain situations, she will be killed by Hannah. If Emily doesn't have the flare gun or makes a mistake during the chase, she will get bitten by the Wendigo. however, unbeknownst to the group until perhaps too late, the bite is not infectious. If Emily survives and makes it back to the lodge, she will explain to the others what she believes happened a year ago, amidst her panic.

    When playing as Chris, Hannah kills the Stranger when they head back to the lodge with the knowledge that Josh has now disappeared from the shed. If Chris fails to shoot Hannah, or chose to shoot Ashley in Chapter 6, Hannah will decapitate Chris. If not, Chris will get back to the lodge alive. In a short cutscene, Hannah is seen pulling Josh's unconscious body away from the shed.

    Chapter 9

    Hannah can briefly be seen crawling under the cracked floorboards of the tunnel before the group makes it to the manhole. When playing as Ashley after she goes down the manhole and is trying to catch up to the group, Hannah will be hiding underneath a cellar door down a fork in the road, mimicking Jessica's voice to lure Ashley in. If Ashley follows the voice and decides to open the hatch, Hannah will suddenly burst out and decapitate Ashley. If Chris had been left behind earlier in the tunnels, Hannah will try the same trick on him as she did on Ashley once Chris goes down the manhole too. However, if Hannah has killed Ashley, Chris will be decapitated too no matter what. In a short cutscene afterwards, an unconscious Josh is dropped by Hannah inside a cave in the mines.

    Chapter 10

    Hannah Wendigo Ch10 Hannah reanimated as a Wendigo. Hannah has shown throughout the game that she preyed upon those that pranked her a year ago. As the protagonists try to survive the night, Hannah may have already killed Ashley, Emily, Matt, Chris and Jessica, depending on the player's actions, and hung their bodies inside her lair alongside the Stranger's. Shortly after Sam and Mike find the lair, Hannah will kill Josh if the Scrawled Journal was not found. If it has been found, she will recognize him, spare him and take him away while Mike hides in fear. If Matt and/or Jess is still, Hannah will attack them and, if they fail in their attempt to escape the mines, kill them.

    After entering the lodge, Hannah begins to fight with two other Wendigos that broke in before her and chased the remaining survivors. One of the fights results in Hannah haphazardly throwing a Wendigo across the room, causing it to land against the fireplace, creating a gas leak. In the lodge, Hannah may kill Sam, Mike, Ashley or Emily. With Sam's acknowledgment of the gas leak, she and Mike then decide to ignite the gas leak with a broken light bulb to destroy the lodge, ultimately killing all the Wendigos as the group barely escapes the lodge in time, just as a rescue helicopter arrives.

    Beth

    See Hannah and Beth for more information.

    Beth was Hannah's younger twin sister. The two were naturally very close due to being siblings, but also noticeably good friends. They seem to care very much for each other, as evident by Beth's relationship status with Hannah and her sisterly protectiveness, shown in how she ran after Hannah after the prank.

    When Beth finds Hannah in the woods, she immediately offers her her coat, before being pursued by the then unknown danger. After reaching the end of a cliff, Hannah slips and drags Beth down before Beth manages to grab onto a protruding branch. The Stranger then extends his hand in an attempt to rescue them. Beth has the option to either drop her sister to save herself or let go of the branch. Regardless, the twins fall down the cliff and into the mines, and in Beth's case, her death. In Hannah's journal, found by Sam in the mines, she expresses sorrow for the death of her sister, and the extreme regret she feels in digging her up to eat her corpse.

    Josh

    See Hannah and Josh for more information.

    Hannah and Beth put Josh on the couch 2024 Hannah and Beth placing Josh on the couch. Josh was Hannah and Beth's older brother. He had a very close relationship with both twins. Hannah seemed to notice Josh's illness as referenced in her diary. One year into their disappearance, the twins' friends and local police presumed them dead. Josh, still mourning his sisters' presumed deaths, blamed himself for being unable to interfere and help the night of the prank. However, Josh has an alternate persona, revealed to be The Psycho, a masked maniac that mentally tortures the group a year after, as a form of revenge, in order for them to experience the same emotions his sisters a year prior felt.

    Hannah seemed to care about Josh as much as he did for her. If Mike and Sam found Hannah's Journal in the mines, they will later reveal the truth to Josh. When Hannah is encountered soon after, Josh will recognize her in time by shouting her name, resulting in her recognizing him back. Instead of killing Josh, she will drag Josh away to her lair. If Mike and Sam did not find the Journal, Josh will recognize Hannah too late and be killed.

    Ashley

    Ashley and Hannah seem to be neutral friends. Regardless, Ashley still decided to participate in the prank. Ashley's relationship with Hannah, and her affiliation with the prank, becomes a difficult and painful topic for her a year after, where she will be confronted with Hannah's disappearance on multiple occasions. Believing Hannah may be contacting her through an Ouija board, Ashley soon becomes frantic and upset. She can claim she had no intention of hurting her, and is seemingly apologetic over what happened. During Josh's prank, Ashley believes they are truly communicating with the ghost of Hannah. In the old hotel, the player can choose whether Ashley can be repentant about her actions, or claim that Hannah overreacted. She has this same option when finding a film reel, playing a video of the prank.

    Regardless of her possible regrets, Hannah will mimic Jessica's voice to lure Ashley away from the group. If she succeeds, she will swiftly decapitate Ashley and drag her body away. She may also kill Ashley by sadistically gouging out her eyes.

    Chris

    Hannah wasn't shown to have any interaction with Chris during the Prologue, although he is one of the only three lodge survivors to not participate in the prank played on her. Despite having no involvement, she aggressively pursues him as he runs back to the lodge, and if he is caught, she will decapitate him by plunging her fingers into his neck before ripping his head off. She may also hunt him in the mines, where she can lure him by mimicking the voice of Jessica. If Ashley opened the trapdoor earlier, she may grab Chris from the ceiling and will decapitate him.

    Emily

    Hannah is shown to have a negative relationship with Emily when she was alive, likely due to having a crush on Emily's then-boyfriend, Mike. Emily was very compliant in the prank against her and did not take Hannah seriously, as she brushed Hannah's humiliation off as "just a prank." However, a year later, Emily shows remorse for the disappearance of the sisters. As a Wendigo, Hannah uses cruel tactics when she chases Emily and kills her by slowly and deliberately gouging her eyes out.

    Jessica

    Hannah's relationship with Jessica in the start of the game seems to be a dubious one, as Jess was the one who came up with the idea of playing a prank on her. She states her motivations for the prank as "looking out for her girl Em." A year later, Mike and Jessica may find police tape from the search investigation as they make their way to the guest cabin. Jessica regrets her actions, stating they played a stupid half baked prank, but also claims they "could not have expected them to do a dumb thing like that [running into the woods]." She does appreciate Mike possibly being respectful about their disappearance.

    As is the case with Emily, Hannah appears to be particularly sadistic when killing a frantic Jessica by inserting two fingers down her throat and forcefully tearing off her lower jaw. This may be the result of Jessica's intimate relationship with Mike, as well as her loudly boasting about having intercourse with him as they were being stalked by Hannah in Chapter 3.

    Matt

    Hannah isn't shown to have a positive relationship with Matt. He was compliant in the prank and filmed her taking her shirt off for Mike. She does, however, call his name out first, out of all five pranksters: possibly surprised by his participation, expecting him the least likely person to cooperate. As a Wendigo, Hannah aggressively pursues Matt in the mines, and can kill him by ramming a hook through his lower jaw thereby hanging him from a ceiling, or smashing his face in.

    Mike

    Hannah Mike prank 2024 Hannah realizes she got pranked. Hannah evidently had an obsessive crush on Mike, making her an easy target for the prank, thinking he may have been interested in her. Her diary, found by Ashley and Chris in the dollhouse, has his name multiple times in it, where she expresses excitement about spending time with him. She keeps a photo of Mike at the Senior Prom hidden underneath a stack of papers on her cork board in her room at the lodge. She takes a compatibility test from a magazine to determine if she and Mike could be together, but the answer came out negative, saying they wouldn't work out. This may have been the main reason she got the butterfly tattoo, as the test mentioned doing something "wild" to get his attention in order to impress him. Hannah cared so deeply about Mike that some of the affection appeared to have remained even after she became a Wendigo. Hannah may cause Mike's death, but she never immediately or directly kills him (though she will fatally wound him), even when having multiple opportunities to do so.

    Sam

    Sam was Hannah's best friend and one of only three survivors that did not take part in the prank that caused her to flee into the woods. In the Prologue, Sam expresses that she thinks the prank shouldn't happen by saying, "Don't you guys think this is a little bit cruel?" and persists to say, "It's not her fault" that Hannah has a crush on someone who is taken. Sam is the only lodge survivor who attempts to stop the prank and warn Hannah. After discovering the prank went wrong, Sam sharply criticized her friends as "jerks." Despite the close friendship, as a Wendigo, Hannah shows no mercy and will kill Sam by brutally impaling her in the lower abdomen with her arm if given the chance. However, if or when Sam runs to the switch, Hannah pounces on another Wendigo attempting to attack Sam, showing she may have recognized Sam (similarly to how she can recognize Josh if Sam found the Scrawled Journal earlier) and was allowing her to escape and blow up the lodge. However, after Sam turns the switch on, Hannah is seen still trying to tackle the Wendigo, implying this may have not been the reason.

    Home, sweet home. JOSH

    The Washington Lodge (colloquially known as The Ski Lodge or simply The Lodge) is a large chalet-styled mansion built on Blackwood Mountain. The mansion serves as the primary location in which most of the events in Until Dawn take place.

    History

    The Blackwood Pines Hotel operated atop Blackwood Mountain for many years as an alpine health resort, but eventually it ceased operation. In the late 1990s, movie mogul Bob Washington purchased the building and vast tracts of land surrounding the site to serve as a vacation home for his family; afterwards, the peak became known locally as "Mount Washington." The hotel was razed and on top of its foundation, the Washington Lodge was built.

    The home itself, while having a log cabin/chalet exterior, was designed to be state of the art with a contemporary interior outfitted with modern fixtures and plenty of space. It was a symbol of the family's wealth and success perfect for entertaining guests, but it was most enjoyed by the Washingtons themselves. Bob and his wife Melinda would play outdoor sports with their children in the summer or relax in the interior during the "Annual Blackwood Winter Getaway."

    However, the peace would not be maintained. As his children grew older, Bob found himself increasingly busy with work while Melinda was routinely unnerved by trespassers seen on the property. Eventually the teenage Washington children were the only ones using the Lodge for getaways with friends. That was until their tragic and mysterious disappearances in the mid 2010s. ADVERTISEMENT

    Events of Until Dawn

    LodgeExterior The Lodge first appears during the 2014 prologue in which the prank occurs. After the disappearance of Hannah and Beth Washington, the house and extending property became a crime scene and a thorough police investigation was conducted in and around the mansion. At an unknown time the investigation ceased and the unsolved case was left open.

    Washington Lodge Plans Sam finds the Lodge's floor plans. Sometime after, Josh returned to the property to begin outfitting it with contraptions to aid him in his revenge prank against his friends. A year later, when everyone returns to the lodge, the front door is frozen shut, forcing Chris to break in via a rear window and melt the ice in the lock.

    No sooner does the group arrive than tensions boil over. After the group part ways, Josh carries out his revenge prank. Once the presence of the Wendigos became known, the lodge served as a ostensible safe haven for the survivors. Eventually the place was breached by the Wendigos and the structure was destroyed in a fiery gas explosion ignited in a last ditch effort to kill the beasts. The lodge was last seen engulfed in flames as rescue workers arrived to the scene at dawn. ADVERTISEMENT

    AshleyHallwayGuestRoom Ashley facing the door to the guest room, the path leading to the main hallway on her left, and the cinema room behind her. The ground floor consists of a seating area and several hallways connecting various rooms. The ground floor is accessed via the main staircase taken from the first floor into a sitting area.

    To the left of this sitting area is a door to a wide hallway with:

    A door on the left leading to an unknown area. A door on the right to a hallway leading to the guest room or the cinema room, used by Hannah in the Prologue, and Ashley and Chris in Chapter 6. A door at the end of the hallway to the right leading to more guest rooms and bathrooms, used by Sam in Chapter 5 during the chase.

    To the left of the cinema room is a hallway in which a person can turn left to a hallway leading to the main hallway, or straight ahead to a door leading to the guest room.

    Guest Room

    The guest room consists of two entrances across each other, with a bed in the center of the room, where Emily and Jessica hide under during the Prologue. The guest room also has a cupboard which Matt hides in the Prologue, and a partition where Ashley hides behind on the same occasion.

    A year later, Sam encounters the guest room while running away from the Psycho, where she is given the choice to Jump over the bed or Hide under the bed, the latter increasing the risk of her being caught. She is the only person to have used both doors of the guest room to enter and exit.

    On the other side of the guest room is another hallway with more guest rooms and bathrooms that eventually leads to the main hallway with a door providing access to the basement right across.

    History

    Jack Fiddler describes the Makkapitew as a terrible thing and the fiercest of the Wendigos. It appears to be a mysterious, ancient being, as it eluded his grandfather for a long time, and the creature preceded the Wendigo curse of the mining disaster.[1] Despite Jack’s grandfather’s prowess, he could not defeat the Makkapitew, who in turn killed him instead.

    Until Dawn's prequel The Inpatient, contradicts this timeline however, as it reveals that a patient in the Blackwood Pines Sanatorium, either Anna/Gordon Bennet or the protagonist themselves, became the Makkapitew in 1952, during which the mining incident happened. Depending on choices made during the events of the game, one of these characters gets possessed by the Wendigo spirit and becomes the Makkapitew.[2]

    As Jack continued his forefathers’ works of hunting the Wendigos on the mountain, he lead them to - and eventually captured them in - the Sanatorium, but the Makkapitew remained out of his grasp - until one night.

    One Year Ago

    The Stranger was hunting the Makkapitew on the same night of the Washingtons’ lodge party in 2014. Hannah and her sister Beth fled into the woods after a prank was played on the former. The Makkapitew uncovered their tracks and began pursuing them in the woods, while the Stranger was hunting the creature at the same time. He finally succeeded in confronting the Makkapitew, but only after it cornered the twins and drove them over a cliff. To avenge them, he killed it by dousing it in fire with his flamethrower, releasing its spirit into the air.

    Jack has neck-length graying hair, and a scar over his right eye, likely acquired from a Wendigo encounter. He is missing several teeth in the left side of his mouth. Despite being middle-aged, he's physically fit enough to carry a full flamethrower at a jogging speed with little effort.

    He wears thick clothes to insulate himself from the elements, and when wielding his flamethrower, he dons a bandanna and welding goggles as protection against the instrument's heat. His outfit consists of khaki-colored jeans, a dark sweater, a green, hooded utility jacket with fur trim, heavy boots, a knit cap, and thick gloves. Across his chest, he wears a small Native American artifact that resembles a dreamcatcher.

    In the previous version of the game, for Playstation 3, he was bald and did not have a scar on his left eye, he also did not wear a hat and glasses. He also seemed to have a simpler outfit. ADVERTISEMENT

    Personality

    Hunting the Wendigos inhabitating Blackwood Mountain has become an all-consuming obsession for Jack: he is adept at tracking, trapping, and killing the creatures, a pursuit he devoted his life to at great personal cost. He is also savvy in hand-to-hand combat and wielding weapons as he is able to disarm Chris or Mike with ease. He keeps track of visitors to the mountain, but prefers isolation and only makes contact with people when they enter the Wendigos' preferred hunting areas like the mines. As evidenced by his journal, his years-long experience of hunting Wendigos made him very knowledgeable of them, as he documents their characteristics, origin, transformation process and weaknesses.

    Despite his intimidating outward appearance, he is not a malevolent character. In fact, he goes to great lengths to help and protect those endangered by the Wendigos. When the Makkapitew chased Hannah and Beth off the cliff, he killed it in an act of revenge, mournful that he was unable to save them.[2] His protectiveness is further shown when he defends Emily in the mines, and - along with Chris - attempts to retrieve Josh from the shed. He also informs the group about the Wendigos and advices them on how to survive, despite him and the Washingtons having a conflict.[3] ADVERTISEMENT

    Biography

    Jack Fiddler, AKA The Stranger, lives as a hermit on Blackwood Mountain, spending his life hunting and trapping the Wendigos that inhabit it, continuing the works of his grandfather, who was unable to capture the fiercest of the Wendigos and died while attempting to trap it. He had warned the Washingtons against pursuing their construction projects on the mountain as it was sacred to his forefathers.

    Chapter Appearances One Year Ago

    On the night of Hannah and Beth's disappearance, the Stranger had finally tracked down the Wendigo that killed his grandfather. After noticing the girls, he realized they were being chased by it, and tried to save them. Unfortunately, he was too late as they fell off of a cliff while trying to escape the Wendigo. Stricken with grief and anger, the Stranger killed the monster, avenging the girls and his grandfather at the cost of releasing its spirit.

    Chapter 1

    Before the chapter opens, Sam will be seen listening to a news report about the disappearance of Hannah and Beth. The Stranger watches Sam from a distance as she gets off of the bus. Based on the human-like vision and breathing that make up the alternate camera angles along the path to the Washington Lodge and outside of the house itself, he is likely watching from the woods as the main characters arrive. If Chris looks at the security cameras near the cable car, he will see the stranger for a brief moment in the second shot. At the end of the chapter, he can be seen riding up to Blackwood Pines in the cable car.

    Chapter 2

    The Stranger follows Jessica and Mike up to the cabin. He can be seen behind Mike after he starts up the generator and when he jumps into the mines after Jessica. In the original game, he is also seen watching Matt and Emily as they search for her bag.

    Chapter 3

    The Stranger is mentioned on the back of a Native American Letter by Melinda Washington, who recalls seeing a "crazy guy" hanging around the generator shed.

    Chapter 4

    After Mike chases after Jessica's attacker in the mines, he sees the Stranger walking out of the mines and toward the Sanatorium. Mike attempts to shoot him, thinking that he had killed Jessica, but his gun will jam, regardless of previous usage of the gun.

    Chapter 5

    Mike follows the Stranger to the Sanatorium and watches him head inside. Mike continues to follow him and sees him inside the locked Chapel. After Mike finds a key card to the Chapel, he watches him disappear through a gated door and follows him yet again.

    Chapter 7

    As Emily makes her way through the mines, the sounds of the Stranger's flamethrower and a Wendigo screeching can repeatedly be heard. After she finds her way to the top of the caverns, she notices him standing around the corner. She attempts to run away from him but hits a dead end, where the Stranger confronts her.

    Chapter 8

    The Stranger hands Emily a pack of flares and tells her to get out of the mines as a Wendigo closes in on him. Soon afterwards, he manages to escape the mines and heads to the lodge. After entering through the front door and disarming either Chris or Mike of a gun, he orders the remaining survivors to listen to what he has to say. He explains that the mountain is cursed, and anyone who succumbs to cannibalism will unleash the spirit of the Wendigo and transform into one. He tells them to find somewhere safe to wait until dawn. This prompts Mike to remember that he left Josh tied up in the shed. The Stranger tells them that Josh will already be dead, but Chris insists on going after him. The Stranger tells Chris that going alone outside is suicide and offers to come with him.

    ChrisAndStranger Jack conversing with Chris. The Stranger and Chris walk to the shed and find that Josh has already been taken away by the Wendigo. As the Stranger warns Chris to get back to the lodge immediately, he discovers that a Wendigo has tracked them. At first, the Stranger tells Chris to stand still. Regardless whether Chris moves or not, the Wendigo notices both of them. The Stranger tries to burn the Wendigo but it dodges the attack. Knowing they are out in the open, the Stranger frantically tells Chris they must get out of here. Before the Stranger could act, the Wendigo decapitates him.

The journal tells the survivors that the Wendigo can only see people when they move, the only sure way to kill them is with fire, they can imitate people's voices, their bites are not infectious, and that whenever possible, they should be captured, not killed.

    Chapter 10

    Sam and Mike find the Stranger's body hanging from the cavern ceiling inside the Wendigo's lair on their way to find Josh. It is seen again when Josh and Mike walk back through the lair towards the lake.

THE PSYCHO

    The Psycho, also known as The Maniac, The Killer, The Madman and the Mystery Man in-game, is the name given to the first antagonist of Until Dawn. He is a masked nemesis that stalks and torments the group of friends for their first half of the night due to setting up various seemingly life-threatening traps.

    During the second half of the night, the Psycho's true identity is revealed, unveiling a familiar face.

    Appearance

    The Psycho's outfit was recreated from the one of Victor Milgram, a janitor of the hotel in the 1950s who was portrayed as the maniac in a fabricated story. The Psycho wears a metal black jumpsuit and a mask to conceal his identity. He also wears a thick, stuffed suit with blood-splattered overalls and gray gloves with brown cuffs. Underneath the overalls is a jean shirt with its sleeves rolled up, and a long sleeve brown shirt underneath. He has a brown tool belt around his waist, with a few tools inside. Depending on the player's choices, he carries a gas cylinder or a needle while chasing Sam.

    His mask resembles a skull-like style, designed with a pair of thin black eyebrows, with 2 circle-shaped jade-black spiked side cracks (for sight) and a nose crack placement (for breathing). As for the mouth design, it shows the whole light bubblegum-pink gums with yellowish-white "rotten" styled teeth. The whole base of the mask is plain dirty white and appears to be either made of silicone, glass, or porcelain. Personality

    The Psycho is shown to have severe psychological issues, degrees of paranoia, hallucinations, and feelings of loneliness and isolation. He seems enjoy stalking and torturing most of the protagonists. Until Dawn

    Biography

    The Psycho is the first main antagonist introduced in-game. He follows and taunts the group of friends while setting up Saw-like traps, resembling classic horror film antagonists.

    In reality, he is Josh, who became consumed with taking revenge on his friends for causing the disappearance of his sisters, wanting to prank them in return for their prank on Hannah. Drawing upon his family's wealth and his father's contacts among practical effects artists, he spent most of the year planning, designing and commissioning the props necessary for his grand prank. At some point, against the advice of Dr. Hill, he also gave up on his medication and resolved to live with the withdrawal symptoms. When returning to Blackwood Mountain, he rigged the Washington lodge with all the props necessary for the ultimate practical joke - including video cameras to ensure that the events would be recorded for posterity and uploaded to the Internet.

    Accompanying this prank, he created a fake persona to scare his friends: Josh tried to convince his friends that an escaped convict named Victor Milgram was loose on the mountain, who swore revenge on the Washington family for supposedly getting him fired from his job in the 90s. In reality, Victor Milgram was a deceased janitor who worked for the Blackwood Pines Hotel in the 1950s. Josh likely found him through records, and even recreated his entire outfit for the Psycho.

    I've seen what these fuckers can do. I don't want to see it again. CHRIS

    The Wendigos are the main antagonists of Until Dawn. They become active in the second half of the game after the Psycho's identity is revealed, though they appear in the first half and pose a secret threat to some of the protagonists.

    As described by the Native American Cree legends, they were once humans who became cannibalistic monsters possessed by the spirit of the Wendigo after eating the flesh of other humans. Many Wendigos reside on Blackwood Mountain, with one particularly stalking and potentially killing the group members through the night.

    History

    The original Wendigo legends originated from First Nation tribes who were present on Blackwood Mountain from the 1400s until the 1850s. One of these native tribes named the Cree revered in the mountain and its nature: they would hunt elsewhere in the belief that it would bring misfortune to harm any animal in the area. Additionally, they believed harming the mountain itself in any way would inflict a terrible curse.

    Eventually, European explorers and mining concerns arrived in the area, eager to make their fortune. In 1893, they officially started excavating the mountain, finding tin and, later, traces of radium. They then mined deeper into the sacred mountain. The Cree tribe claimed that the mountain cried out at that moment, and the Wendigo spirit was released, cursing the land and its inhabitants. Soon after, the first Wendigo possessions on the mountain began, prompting Jack Fiddler’s grandfather to dedicate his life to tracking and capturing them. However, one particularly imposing creature known as the Makkapitew eluded all Wendigo hunters, killing any who were brave enough to confront it - including Jack's grandfather.

    Legend of the mountain's rich reserves bruited to more prospectors, and a group called The Blasting Crew established more mining operations in the winter of 1951-1952. Though long neglected structural weakness resulted in a tragic disaster, which caused part of the mine to cave in, with 30 miners left trapped and eventually starving. Dozens of men were murdered and cannibalized. A rescue team later found only 12 survivors.[2] The miners who were still "missing" were hidden away in the archives, but it is clear that the survivors resorted to cannibalism to survive.

    The survivors soon began to display unusual physiological characteristics, and a cover-up ensued as they were illicitly confined in the Blackwood Pines Sanatorium for study. On the orders of Sanatorium owner as well as mines and hotel establisher Jefferson Bragg, staff observed and experimented on the miners as they swiftly mutated into Wendigos. Eventually, these miners who turned into Wendigos broke out of confinement and slaughtered the Sanatorium staff, prompting the immediate shutdown of the Sanatorium and the North West Mines. This left the mountain deserted with the exception of the Wendigos and Jack Fiddler, who, during the decades that followed, tracked down each transformed miner and successfully captured them one by one, keeping them contained in the abandoned Sanatorium they broke out of, while he hunted any other Wendigo that happened to emerge on the mountain.

    In 1997, famous movie mogul Bob Washington was presented with the golden opportunity to buy Blackwood Mountain, and he could not possibly refuse. Though before his plans came to fruition, he was warned vehemently by Fiddler, who desperately tried to stop the construction, claiming that the land was sacred to his forefathers. Bob Washington, however, refused to listen and aspects of the mountain were restored in working order and so the luxurious Washington Lodge was built, creating a perfect getaway for Bob Washington and his family.

    More than a decade later, in 2014, the children of Bob and his wife Melinda Washington, Josh and twins Hannah and Beth, invited their friends Ashley, Chris, Emily, Matt, Jessica, Mike and Sam to their family lodge for a weekend of good times. However, after some of the friends played a prank on Hannah, she fled the lodge into the woods during a snowstorm, followed by Beth. The pair soon realized they weren't alone as the Makkapitew, still roaming free, began chasing after them while Jack Fiddler was hunting it. Before Jack could kill the Wendigo, it forced the sisters over a cliff edge, causing them to fall into a mine slope, killing Beth instantly. Hannah, however, survived her fall with a broken leg. After a month of no rescue, Hannah found herself having to make a desperate decision as she ate the flesh of her sister to survive. Soon after, Hannah became stronger: her transformation into a Wendigo began.

    Exactly one year later, the group of friends return to the lodge after being invited by Josh, to commemorate the twins and have a get-together like they used to. Things quickly go south, however, as Hannah, now a complete Wendigo roaming free on the mountain, stalks and potentially kills the friends throughout the night. Appearance

    Wendigo lodge 2024 Hannah Washington as a Wendigo. A Wendigo exhibits a drastic mutation of human anatomy, acquiring a disfigured yet powerful form. They lose much of their muscle mass and have prominent bones while limbs become longer, giving them a slender and skeletal appearance. This also makes them considerably taller than the average person, half or twice the height depending on how much they feed. They exhibit spinal disfiguration, which gives them a hunchback-like appearance but allows them to move around on both two and four legs. The teeth lengthen and deform, becoming more canine, the nails are also longer and sharper. Wendigo's vision is less keen, as evidenced by their visibly milky white eyes. Their skin is white pale and taut against their bodies much like a glossy, stretched armor. They also suffer from different forms of skin torture, such as sweating acids that strengthen their outer coating.

    Miner Wendigo Sanatorium A Wendigo in the Sanatorium that was once a miner. During metamorphosis, possessed humans lose their hair and eventually all male and female characteristics, acquiring an identical genderless appearance. However, Wendigos will retain any alterations they had on their skin as humans, like Hannah's tattoo and Billy's scar, which allows to identify them. Furthermore, the Wendigos shown in the game managed to retain the clothes in which they transformed, such as the miners' work uniforms and Hannah's underwear.

    Although Wendigos are shown to have physical bodies, they are actually immaterial spirits. Their true appearance can be seen after killing a Wendigo with fire and takes the form of a small fireball. Upon closer look, a glimpse of the Wendigo's screaming face can be seen. Characteristics

    Wendigos are shown to be extremely deadly creatures. Their anatomy allows them to move not only on two legs, but on four legs as well, being capable of crawling on any surface and leaping to different spots in the blink of the eye. Although they look emaciated, Wendigos are abnormally strong, easily lifting heavy objects and tearing their victims apart, even able to kill other Wendigos with bare hands; the Doctor's Report documents one lifting 725 lb weights. Their skin is extremely hard like armor, which renders the Wendigo practically impervious against ballistics and sharp weapons and allows them to feel no pain. However, some heavy firearms, such as shotguns and hunting rifles, can stun Wendigos for a short period of time. The extreme heat from fire and explosives can burn away the thick skin, inflicting great pain while also rendering them completely vulnerable to other weapons, even the simple shovel or pipe.

    Wendigos are recorded to have some set behavior patterns. They only hunt at night and have great predatory skills, often tracking their prey for up to several hours. They do not appear to lose their humanity completely as they possess small intelligence and can use some human-like tricks to lure their prey. For example, Hannah throws Jessica's phone through the window to get her to leave the cabin, cuts the support lines to drop the fire tower with Emily and Matt down the mines and mimics Jessica's voice to get Ashley and/or Chris to open the trapdoor. Not only that, Hannah tends to decapitate her victims and keep their heads as some sort of trophies. In relation to each other, Wendigos are mostly aggressive and always attack, possibly seeing the others as prey, a way to reduce competition for food or territory or simply because they are sadistic killers.

    Vision A Wendigo's vision. Wendigos have unique vision. Although much worse than humans, they become more sensitive to movement: mobile objects are highlighted in their vision, otherwise they are usually unable to track those who remain still. Their primary way of vocalization is through prolonged high-pitched screams that they use to scare prey into moving. However, being former humans, Wendigos are able to speak with normal voice, though this is used primarily as a bait for prey.

    Upon transformation into a Wendigo, humans gradually become aggressive and lose their minds. However, they are able to retain fragments of humanity and memories from their past lives. The miners Wendigo never attack one another and even form a sort of pack due to being close friends as humans. Hannah spares her brother Josh after they recognize each other and also never kills Mike on the spot (though can mortally wound him), suggesting that she has retained a part of her affection for him. On the other hand, while Wendigos mostly just slash their prey with their claws, Hannah shows cruel sadism to her former friends, killing them slowly and painfully by gouging out their eyes, decapitating them, smashing their faces, et cetera.

    Wendigos are not just physical beings, but rather spirits embodying cold and hunger. They are drawn to people who have committed an act of cannibalism and possess them, initiating an irreversible transformation. It's worth noting that cannibalism is the only way to become a Wendigo and they are not contagious through bites or scratches. The Wendigo's main weakness is fire, which not only causes damage, but can kill them. However, it is advised to use it only as a last resort, as Wendigos are effectively immortal and after death their spirit will break free, waiting for the next victims. Until Dawn

    As Beth walks through the woods looking for Hannah, she occasionally notices streams of fire in the distance. Finding Hannah, the sisters are about to leave when they hear a scream and turn around, only to be horrified by its source, the Makkapitew. They try to escape from the Wendigo, but end up cornered on a cliff, from which they fall, despite the Stranger's attempts to save them. Immediately afterward, he attacks and burns the Makkapitew to death.

    Meanwhile, Hannah survived the fall while Beth died. During the month she was trapped in the mines waiting for help, Hannah began to starve. Eventually, she made a desperate decision and ate Beth's corpse, unwittingly falling into the Wendigo curse. Hannah's story and her transformation are recorded in her diary which can be found by Sam and Mike.

In the mines, the Wendigo can briefly be seen scurrying behind some wreckage behind Mike after he finds a totem and will also be spotted by Jessica if Mike gives her a flashlight. While Mike is looking at the cabin through the telescope, the Wendigo will jumpscare the player, although Mike will not notice anything.

    Meanwhile, the same screeching noises are heard by the other protagonists, mainly Sam after she exits the bathroom to find Josh, and Matt and Emily when they are on their way to find Em's lost bag.

After they come across a deer, Wendigo begins to chase it, causing the deer to run in front of the couple and scare them again. Wendigo eventually catches up and mutilates the animal, leaving it on the trail to be discovered by Mike and Jessica. As they comfort the dying deer, the Wendigo drags its body into the trees and starts chasing the couple until they reach the cabin.

    The Wendigo will watch the couple through the window as they prepare to make out, after which it throws Jessica's phone through the bathroom window. It then watches her leave the cabin to yell at her friends (thinking they're playing a prank on her) and say that they won't stop her from having sex with Mike. As Jessica returns to the cabin and closes the door, the Wendigo grabs her through the door window and pulls her outside.

    Chapter 4

    Handigo2 The Wendigo watching Mike. The Wendigo drags Jessica through the woods and into the mines as Mike chases after them. If he takes too long, it will give the Wendigo enough time to rip off Jessica's lower jaw, killing her, before throwing her body in the elevator in front of Mike. If he moves quickly, the Wendigo will leave Jess in the elevator severely injured, but alive.

    After the elevator falls deeper into the mines, the Wendigo will look down at Mike from the top of the elevator shaft before retreating, giving him enough time to shoot it. When Mike climbs up the shaft and starts chasing the Stranger, he can fail to slide under a door, making him to go through a small, dark tunnel instead. When he stops to relight the lighter, the Wendigo can be briefly seen behind some slats looking at Mike.

    Chapter 5

    While exploring the Sanatorium, Mike can find several clues related to the Wendigos, such as the Strange Skull, Name Tag and Death Certificate. He also finds the trap the Stranger has set for the Wendigo (a moving arm with a hidden beartrap) and possibly falls into it himself.

    Having dealt with Mike and Jessica, the Wendigo begins to pursue Matt and Emily as they head toward the fire tower to get help (due to the Psycho terrorizing Josh, Chris and Ashley at the same time the Wendigo was terrorizing Mike and Jess). When the couple reaches the cliff, they are startled by a loud screech before being cornered by a herd of deer.

    Chapter 6

    If Matt fell down the cliff, Emily will watch in shock as the Wendigo's hand appears and drags Matt's corpse away.

    When Emily and possibly Matt get to the fire tower and try to contact the rangers over the radio, the Wendigo approaches the tower and triggers the motion sensor, alerting the couple to its presence. It then attempts to break into the cabin and bangs on the tarpdoor. After failing to get inside, the Wendigo cuts the lines holding the tower in place, causing the entire structure along with Matt and Emily to fall into the mines.

    If Matt is alive and tried to save Emily, he will fall into the danger zone of the mines where he will encounter the Wendigo. It will drag Matt down the tunnel and if he doesn't have the flare gun or fails to use it, the Wendigo will hook him through the jaw. Otherwise, the Wendigo will flee after getting shot, releasing Matt. If Matt jumped to safety or is dead, the Wendigo will scurry off into the night.

    Chapter 7

    The Stranger will find the Wendigo in the mines and begin chasing it. Their hunt is witnessed by Emily, who hears screeches and sees streams of fire while trying to get out of the mines.

    Chapter 8

    As the Stranger tries to calm a panicking Emily, the Wendigo appears behind them in the dark. The Stranger pushes Emily deeper into the mines and gives her a bag of flares, saving her, while he stays behind and holds off Wendigo with a flamethrower.

    Nevertheless, the Wendigo still finds Emily and starts following her. If she found the Romantic Postcard, the Wendigo will be seen watching Emily from behind a gap as she walks away. Additionally, Emily hears screeches as she walks through the tunnels.

    Emily is bitten Emily, not having the flare gun, is bitten. As Emily squeezes through a narrow tunnel, the Wendigo tries to grab her twice through the wooden walls, and then fully begins to chase her through the mines and then mining facility on the surface. If Emily fails to take the elevator or place enough obstacles for the Wendigo, it will capture Emily and gouge out her eyes. After Emily passes the conveyor belt, she can use the flare gun to shoot the Wendigo and slow it down, giving her enoygh time to escape unharmed. If she fails to use the flare gun or doesn't have it, the Wendigo will bite her in the shoulder. Either way, Emily manages to escape.

    If Emily survived, she will get to the lodge and try to tell her friends about the monster, although they will be confused and think she is talking about Josh (who was the Psycho). The Stranger then arrives at the lodge and tells the group the truth about the Wendigos, making Mike realize that it was the Wendigo who attacked Jessica earlier. After he reveals that he left Josh alone in the shed, the Stranger and Chris head out to find him. The Stranger tells Chris more about the Wendigo's abilities along they way.

    Stranger7 The Stranger is killed by the Wendigo. Upon arriving at the shed, the two find Josh missing and assume he is dead. As they are about to return to the lodge, the Wendigo attacks them and decapitates the Stranger. It then starts chasing Chris and can decapitate him as well if he doesn't make it to the lodge in time or Ashley refuses/fails to let him in. While the friends retreat to the basement, the Wendigo is seen dragging an unconscious Josh through the woods.

    Back in the basement, if Emily is bitten, the group will notice the bite and thinking it is contagious, will demand Emily leave. Upon her refusal, Mike will point a gun at her face and has the option of shooting Emily. Regardless, Ashley then reads the Stranger's Journal, where she discovers more information about the Wendigos, including their history, characteristics, and abilities. From the journal she also learn the bite is not infectious as she formerly claimed and that Emily was not a threat to begin with, causing the group to be relieved or horrorified depending on how Mike decided Emily's fate.

    Chapter 9

    Wendigo Sanatorium-0 Billy Bates. Mike returns to the Sanatorium looking for Josh and possibly with Wolfie (who he can tame on his first visit) explores the psychiatric wing. After gathering enough evidence, Mike realizes that the miners who were treated at the Sanatorium after the mine collapse in the 1950s all transformed into the Wendigos and massacred the entire staff before subsequently being recaptured by the Stranger. Soon, Mike and Wolfie enconter these Wendigo miners, who begin to pursue them. During the lengthy chase, Mike kills several miners, though Wolfie can die saving him and he can be ambushed by one of the Wendigos before he makes it out of the Sanatorium.

    Meanwhile, the others follow Mike to warn him about the Wendigos in the Sanatorium. When Ashley falls behind in the mine tunnel, the main Wendigo can be seen crawling down in the hole. It then tries to lure Ashley and/or possibly Chris by mimicking Jessica's voice and crying for help. If Ashley/Chris decide to investigate the voice instead of rejoining the group, they will find a trapdoor, upon opening which they will be attacked and decapitated by the Wendigo. In Chris' case, if Ashley has already opened the trapdoor, he will be killed regardless due to the Wendigo being freed.

    Sam6 Sam attacking the Wendigo Billy Bates. When the others return to the lodge, Sam continues to search for Mike alone. She soon finds him either in the mines or in the Sanatorium, fighting one of the Wendigo miners, Billy Bates. Together, the two manage to kill Billy, after which they resume their search for Josh, thinking they've finished off every Wendigo in the Sanatorium.

    Chapter 10

    The Wendigo appears at the end of Josh's hallucinations as he slowly goes insane from isolation in the mines.

    Meanwhile, Sam and Mike explore the mines and are able to find Hannah's diary, which reveals what happened a year ago, and the two realize the Wendigo that's been stalking them throughout the night is actually Hannah, who ate Beth's body to survive. They eventually find her lair where they discover the body of the Stranger and possibly the bodies and heads of Jessica, Matt, Emily, Chris and/or Ashley if they have been killed prior. As the couple enters the lair, Hannah is seen watching them in the water.

    In the lair, Sam and Mike find Josh and the former tells him the truth about Hannah and Beth if the journal was found. Sam climbs out of the mine by the wall while Mike and Josh head back through the lake. However, the boys are attacked by Hannah and while Mike manages to escape, Josh is recaptured. If Sam didn't find the journal, Josh won't recognize Hannah in the Wendigo and she will crush his head. Otherwise, the two will recognize each other and Hannah will spare her brother, dragging Josh back to the lair.

    Jessica death Matt Hannah the Wendigo having killed Jessica. If Jessica and/or Matt survived, they will be seen attempting to leave the mines. If they are together, the pair will exchange their experiences with the Wendigo. They almost make it to the exit when Hannah appears and chases them, possibly killing both Matt and Jessica. If they manage to hide, Hannah will leave and the two will live until dawn.

    Back at the lodge, the survivors are horrified to discover that both the miners and Hannah have infiltrated the place. As they stand still, the Wendigos start fighting and damage a gas pipe, causing it to leak. Together, Sam and Mike attempt to break a light bulb and turn on the switch to ignite the gas and blow up the lodge. As the two put the plan into action, Sam must divert Hannah's attention to herself to save the others from being discovered and killed while hiding herself. If Sam is found, Hannah will impale her through the abdomen and Mike will be the one to blow up the lodge. Otherwise, as everyone leaves, Sam turns on the switch, blowing up the lodge on and effectively killing the remaining Wendigos, including Hannah.

    Credits

    The dawn breaks and all survivors are rescured and interviewed by the police, where everyone recounts their experiences with the Wendigo. If Josh is dead or retained his sanity (in the remake), all the Wendigos on the mountain will be dead. However, if Josh is alive and went insane, he will be possessed by the Wendigo spirit after cannibalizing the Stranger's corpse and will be partially transformed by the time the search party finds him, continuing the curse of Blackwood Mountain.

    Known Wendigos

    Throughout Until Dawn history, 14 (possibly 15) Wendigos have been confirmed to exist. Miners

    Twelve miners became possessed and transformed into the Wendigos in late 1951-early 1952. They and the other eighteen miners were members of a blasting crew that worked in the North West Mines. When part of the mine collapsed on December 13, 1951, the crew became trapped for 23 days before they were finally rescued on January 5, 1952. During this period, some the miners survived by cannibalizing the rest of their teammates.

    After being rescued, the miners were taken to the Blackwood Pines Sanatorium for recovery, where they were secretly studied due to unusual ongoing physical changes. By February 24, 1952, the miners had fully transformed into Wendigos and broke free, slaughtering most of the sanatorium staff, after which they were never heard from again.

    By the events of the game, all of the Wendigo miners have been captured by the Stranger, with half of them killed and the rest locked back in the Sanatorium. They chase Mike and Wolfie during their visit to the psychiatric wing, though they manage to escape, killing a couple of Wendigos along the way. The last of the remaining miners eventually make their way out of the Sanatorium and into the Washington lodge through an underground tunnel, where they are ultimately killed in a fight with Hannah and in an explosion.

    BillyBates2 Billy Bates (pre-transformation) with his family. Billy Bates

    Out of twelve miners, only one identity is revealed, being Billy Bates (also known as Patient 9 in the Sanatorium records), who can be identified in Wendigo form by a scar on his head. Billy's transformation is documented in an old case study, which helps Mike realize that the Wendigos are transformed miners.

    Billy is one of the few Wendigos who pursues Mike and possibly kills Wolfie. Ultimatly, he meets his end in the Sanatorium or in the mines, where Billy is killed by the combined efforts of Mike and Sam.

    Makkapitew

    Makkapitew Remake The Makkapitew, the strongest of the Wendigos. The main antagonist of the Prologue, the Makkapitew, is described by Jack as the fiercest of all Wendigos, which is reflected by its impressive appearance. In the original timeline, the Makkapitew preceded the mining disaster of 1952 as it long evaded Jack's grandfather who tried to hunt it. For several decades, the Makkapitew hid first from Jack's grandfather, but eventually killed him.

    According to the game's prequel The Inpatient, however, one of two patients from the Blackwood Pines Sanatorium, either a nameless patient controlled by the player or their roommate Anna/Gordon Bennet,[3] turned into the Makkepitew in February 1952 after the miners transformed and began wreaking mayhem in the Sanatorium. When the patients were abandoned and starving, either the protagonist or the roommate resorted to cannibalism, became possessed by the Wendigo, and finally transformed into what appears to be the Makkapitew.[4]

    By February 2, 2014, Jack managed to get his eyes on the Makkapitew, which had remained out of his grasp like his grandfather, but in turn it was chasing Hannah and Beth to their deaths off the cliffside. Afterwards, the Makkapitew was burned to death by Jack, avenging the sisters and ending the Wendigo's terror.

    Hannah Washington

    Wendigo 1 Hannah as the Wendigo. The main antagonist of the game, Hannah turned into a Wendigo in February-March 2014. After the Washington twins fell off a cliff, Hannah managed to survive, though Beth died instantly from multiple injuries. For the next month, Hannah waited for help, but in no avail, and driven mad by hunger and a desire to survive, she ate Beth's body. After that, she turned into a Wendigo and escaped the mines.

    For a year, Hannah roamed around the mountain, hiding from Jack. On February 2, 2015, the anniversary of the sisters' disappearance, their friends reunited for a winter getaway and Hannah began her hunt. Throughout the night, she stalks and possibly kills all 8 protagonists, but is ultimatly killed when the survivors set the lodge on fire.

    Josh Washington

    JoshWendigo3 Josh partially transformed into a Wendigo. Josh may potentially turn into a Wendigo in February 2015. As Hannah terrorizes the group, she captures Josh and drags him to her lair in the mines. He is soon rescued by Sam and Mike, but is immediately confronted by Hannah. If Sam told him the truth she read in the Scrawled Journal, Josh will recognize Hannah in time and cry out her name, causing her to recognize him back.

    Instead of killing Josh, Hannah will drag him back to her lair. Not knowing how to get out and with no help, Josh will spend several days in the mines, slowly going insane with isolation and guilt over the possible deaths of his friends. In the end, he cannibalizes The Stranger, causing him to be possessed by the Wendigo spirit. Eventually, a search party led by the authorities find a partially-transformed Josh, who attacks them, leaving their fate unknown.
