once the beast is revealed, it becomes a lot less scary. The last third is nowhere near as good as what led up to it[spoiler]

I would say 8/10

*[spoiler] blonde and Emily lived. Matt/mike died in the cabin as blondie went for the light switch. Sorry mike/matt

Now to go back and kill/save them all!

Its an absolutely awesome game - glad you enjoyed it

I agree that once you 'see' and understand more about the Wendigo it loses some of the scare factor but i think they timed it well for the reveal , and although the end could move a little quicker i think the pacing in general is good.

The end is i think a little off because its so easy to kill 'virtually' everyone with one wrong move - but you can just re-do the last chapter if you want to see how that plays out

felt regret when Ash git her head pulled off and when Mike/Matt died. He deserved to make it out.

You can only replay one chapter. At the end of that chapter everything is reset to how it is in your save game.

Same thing happened to my Ashley, BTW.

Yip - it would be better to have a bigger rewind option (so if i want to go back to Chapter 4 and continue from that point they 'wipe' the later ones and I have to re-do

I thought You *could* replay other chapters but you need to do them sequentially and they dont save (I have only ever replayed the final chapter)

Worth seeing some of the alternative endings and i'm sure you can 'save' a few others to see what their endings are

Made it all the way through to the end , and then got shoved aside by Emily when everyone ran for the door so died in the explosion (first time) - when I replayed the final chapter she made it out

I wouldn't really want any of them to survive. Why don't we go to the mysterious ski lodge that's only accessible by cable car in the middle of a snow storm? On the anniversary of our friends dying up there. Nothing could go wrong. YOU ALL DESERVE TO DIE

Craster only played the first two chapters, so he didn't get to trigger the bit where it makes you try to like certain people more.

They're pretty much all hateful at the beginning, it's true.

Also stupid. Let's not forget very, very stupid.

Saw this on Reddit earlier, it's the original PS3 version of Until Dawn. It was originally a first person Move control operated horror game so here's a lengthy look at that if you've got time and interest. It doesn't have the actors of the PS4 version and appears to have been completely revised what what we know of it. Interesting stuff.

I finished this at the weekend and fucking loved it; properly engaging stuff. It's weird because mechanically it's pretty much exactly the same as everything Telltale churns out but somehow I found this much more fun and absorbing than any of their output. That's probably at least in part because it looks so good, it's a genuinely very pretty game and the location design helps to pull you in. In terms of my path through, I lost three of the characters; two of them to stupid mistakes on my part that had me cursing myself the instant I made my selection and the third to something I don't think I could really help so overall I'm happy with that. I don't intend to play through it again because now I know the story and whatnot I just don't think there's any attraction to repeating bits of it. Spoilers for my choices:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

Matt died for me at the point he and Emily are confronted by the deer herd. As soon as I took the decision to swing the axe I knew it was the wrong thing to do and when I fucked up one of the QTEs he plummeted to his death. Fuck him though, he was the least interesting character by far.
Jess initially survived being taken by the wendigo because I didn't fuck anything up when chasing her as Mike. Near the end though when trying to lead her out of the mine I picked the 'run' option the second time round and she died near instantly. I was annoyed about this because I really liked her as a character and knew she was too injured to run properly so realised about a milisecond after picking the option that I'd doomed her like a twat. Her actual death scene was fucking brutal as well and I genuinely felt bad watching it.
Crazy Josh got done in at some point near the end but apparently you can only prevent that if you're found some amount of the evidence about the fate of his sisters throughout the game so I'm not too fussed about it.

Something else ocurred to me that I wondered what other people about:

ZOMG Spoiler! Click here to view!

At the point when they're in the basement after Mike goes off to look for Josh the group go through the flamethrower guy's stuff and start reading his journal. They get to the bit that mentions how if you kill a wendigo the spirit is released to look for another host and Sam's all like, "Shit, we need to tell Mike." I assumed at the time she meant that as in, we need to tell him not to actually kill and wendigos or he'll just get possessed by the released spirit. And for the rest of the game, whenever you kill one you do see the spirit released and floating around but nothing actually ever comes of that does it? It just seemed a bit odd to make a big deal of the whole concept and always show the spirits flying loose but never make anything of it.

the humans have to commit cannibalism for the spirit to possess them, don't they?

And thats what happens to crazy Josh if you collect the evidence about his sister , he 'survives until dawn' but then becomes one of the Wendigo

Yeah, that's what I thought, which is why it seemed odd that Sam made such a big deal about the discovery. It's not like Mike was all, "I'm going to find Josh and I'll probably stop along the way to snack on some human flesh. Brb."

If you find the details which let you find out that the main Weidigo is his sister , when she attacks you both he recognizes the tattoo on her arm and talks to her , she spares him and leaves him in the mines

On the next day when the police are going through the mines they find him eating on human flesh and already partially transformed (its one of the final cutscenes and probably on youtube if you want to see that)

Which one was the fitty with the great ass? She died on me first and I was gutted.

Assuming you don't mean the twins, it was probably Jess.

Who, as you might already know, removes more and more items of clothing depending on the choices you make in the cabin at the beginning.

(I then however messed up the quick time events and she was the first person I lost)

I didn't much like the 15 minutes of Until Dawn I played on the basis that everyone was a moron and I was perfectly happy for them all to die.
