In the grand retelling of “Until Dawn”, much like its original iteration on the legendary PS4 console, we find ourselves immersed in a world brimming with horror at every turn. But unlike the common tropes of the horror genre, there’s no necessity for a grand procession of doom to unfold. Whether you wish to preserve or condemn the fates of the characters in this twisted tale, I shall unveil the secrets to unlocking all possible outcomes in the intricate labyrinth that is “Until Dawn.”
A Guide to Achieving the Darkest “Everyone Perishes” Conclusion in Until Dawn
As we venture into the realm of horror that is “Until Dawn”, let us first explore the shadowed path that leads to the demise of all who dare to tread its haunted halls. But I must issue a cautionary word, for in the current epoch, “Until Dawn” remains plagued by anomalies despite valiant attempts at mending its fractured code. A notable flaw, particularly evident on the noble PS5 console, is the shattered chapter system. Though it promises a chance at altering destinies, it often delivers naught but entrapment, crashing realities, and the unjust branding of characters as deceased when they should be saved.
Hence, I proffer this counsel: should you have ventured through this realm afore and seek a divergent conclusion, shun the chapter system and embrace a new genesis with a fresh save. Though it necessitates a revisit through the initial chapters, it is a preferable choice to risking the rupture of your game.
With this counsel in mind, let us unravel the threads that lead to the demise of all denizens within “Until Dawn,” bestowing upon you the coveted This Is THE End accolade. While alternate methods may exist, this particular route proves to be an efficacious means to the desired end. Or, if your disposition inclines towards the cruel manipulation of marionettes, you may select to extinguish those characters who displease your twisted whims, for you are indeed a callous puppeteer.
Chapters 1 – 3

Chapter 4 (The Demise of Jessica)

Proceeding, assume the mantle of Chris and opt to refrain from firing, sealing his fate at the hands of the Wendigo. Alternatively, even if Chris adheres to his duty, Ashley’s judgment shall fall upon him, barring him from sanctuary, and sealing his tragic fate at the Wendigo’s claws.
Chapter 9 (The End of Ashley)
When Sam and Ashley journey to the sanatorium, Ashley’s ears shall catch the echo of Jess’s voice. Elect to pursue and investigate the source of the beckoning wail, unveiling her fate at the hands of the mimicry Wendigo.
Chapter 10 (The Fall of Mike, Josh, and Sam)
With but three pawns remaining, commence the annihilation. As Sam and Mike venture forth to seek Josh, steer towards the pool’s right and forsake the reading of Hannah’s diary within the cave to Josh’s left, sealing his fate to the clutches of the Wendigo Hannah. The final act unfolds with Sam’s return to the lodge, met with failure to comply with the Don’t Move events, leading her to a grisly end. Witness Mike’s harrowing sacrifice as he ignites the lodge, engulfing himself in its fiery embrace.
