Who gets sawed in half in Until Dawn?

In Until Dawn, Josh is the one who gets sawed in half in the shed trap in Chapter 4, no matter what choice Chris makes to try and save Ashley; it's a fake-out set up by Josh himself as part of his prank, though he's not actually dead at that moment, as revealed later in the story.

Does Josh actually get cut in half?

Yes, in the original Until Dawn, Josh gets sawed in half in a seemingly unavoidable scene in Chapter 4, but it's revealed later that it was a fake-out: a dummy body rigged by Josh himself as part of his revenge prank, meaning the real Josh wasn't actually killed there, though he faces other deadly fates later in the game. In the 2024 remake, there's actually a complex way for players to save Josh from his ultimate tragic ending, requiring specific actions like finding clues and showing remorse, though it's very challenging.

Is it better to shoot Chris or Ashley?

In the game Until Dawn, there's no single "right" answer for Chris in the Chapter 6 trap; shooting himself or doing nothing (which defaults to him trying to shoot himself) saves Ashley and progresses their relationship positively, while shooting Ashley makes her distrust him, leading to him getting killed later by a wendigo because she won't open the door, so it's a choice between character development/survival and a potentially tragic, but logical, consequence.

Should I save Emily or jump?

The choice to "save Emily or jump" is a critical decision for Matt in Until Dawn (Chapter 6), where jumping to safety usually saves Matt, but saving Emily leads to his death unless he has the flare gun, a key item found earlier. To save Matt, have him jump after the first attempt to save Emily fails, or have him jump immediately; to save Emily (and Matt), give her the flare gun, and he can use it in Chapter 8 to defend himself from a Wendigo, though this requires specific prior actions and success in QTEs to keep Emily from getting bitten or to save Matt from the subsequent fall.

What happens if you choose Josh instead of Ashley?

If you choose to save Josh over Ashley in Until Dawn, Josh still "dies" in the trap (it's a fake death as part of his prank), but the choice affects character relationships: Josh becomes less antagonistic towards Chris (who chose him), while Ashley might become more distant or even hesitant to help Chris later, and Chris's relationship with Ashley is strained as she thinks he prioritized Josh. The core outcome of the trap itself is rigged to "kill" Josh, regardless of your lever pull, but saying you'll save him changes subsequent dialogue and relationship scores.
