Should you shoot the squirrel or not until dawn?

In the game Until Dawn, you should not shoot the squirrel; instead, shoot the sandbag or do nothing, as shooting the squirrel harms nature, angers the mountain, and leads to a crow attacking and injuring Sam, causing a wound that later reopens, allowing the Psycho to find her, which can lead to her capture and impacts later clues and endings.

What happens if you kill the squirrel in Until Dawn?

If you kill the squirrel as Chris in Until Dawn, it triggers a negative "Butterfly Effect": Sam's relationship with Chris drops, a bird attacks her, and this leads to a chain reaction where she gets injured later, leaves a blood trail, and is almost certain to be captured by the Psycho, preventing her from finding vital clues. This action shows nature "biting back" and directly impacts Sam's survival path and ability to uncover secrets.

Is there a way to save Wolfie Until Dawn?

Yes, you can save the wolf (Wolfie) in Until Dawn, but it requires specific actions in Chapters 5 and 9: first, befriend the wolf in the chapel by not kicking it (and ideally giving it a bone from the altar chest), and then, in Chapter 9, successfully complete Mike's quick-time events (QTEs) and barricade the door instead of trying to escape, which allows the wolf to live, earning you "The Skilful Wolf Man" trophy. Choosing to escape the sanatorium or failing QTEs in Chapter 9 leads to Wolfie's death.

What happens if you don't choose to shoot Chris or Ashley?

If you don't shoot Chris or Ashley in Until Dawn, the game registers it as not choosing to shoot Ashley, meaning Ashley will still open the door for Chris later, allowing them to proceed together, but you are essentially letting the saw blade kill whoever the Psycho intended (often Josh in early setups, or Chris/Ashley in later scenarios if you're trying to keep them alive), which means the victim dies by the gruesome trap, not the gun, leading to different reactions from survivors and affecting trust, especially Ashley's towards Chris if he chose to shoot her instead of not acting.

Chris Shoots Squirrel CONSEQUENCES on SAM and the PSYCHO | Until Dawn

Who is the hardest person to keep alive in Until Dawn?

The hardest character to keep alive in Until Dawn is generally considered to be Matt, closely followed by Jessica, due to counter-intuitive choices and high-stakes Quick Time Events (QTEs) that often lead to early or unexpected deaths, especially for players on a first playthrough without prior knowledge. Matt's survival often clashes with the natural instinct to save Emily, while Jessica faces an extremely challenging early sequence with tight timing and hidden options.

Is it possible to save Chris in Until Dawn?

Yes, Chris can survive Until Dawn, but his survival heavily depends on decisions made with Ashley in Chapter 9; the safest bet is to keep him with the group, as leaving him behind and having Ashley die makes his death unavoidable, while staying together or making specific choices (like Ashley not opening the trapdoor) ensures he lives through the rest of the game.

Is it better to shoot Emily or not?

Whether you should "shoot Emily" depends on whether you're playing the horror game Until Dawn, where it's a critical choice affecting trophies and story, or a real-life situation, where violence is never the answer and you should seek help for any harmful impulses. In Until Dawn, shooting her unlocks a trophy but may not lead to her survival, while not shooting her allows her to live, but she can still die later; the "right" choice depends on your goals, though not shooting her is generally considered the path to saving her and getting a better outcome.

Who is the real killer in Until Dawn?

In Until Dawn, the main "killer" is initially presented as a masked Psycho, revealed to be Josh Washington, enacting revenge on his friends for a prank on his sisters, but the true monstrous threat is the Wendigo, possessed miners cursed by a totem. In the recent 2025 movie adaptation, the masked figure (possibly still Josh) is part of a time loop, but the Wendigo curse is central, with the killer changing forms, representing fear and guilt, making it both a human-driven revenge plot and a supernatural horror.
