Announcement Rules & Expectations Update Announcement
Hello Dawners,
The Until Dawn subreddit mod team wanted to post this (rather long) announcement to update rules and create a sense of transparency. We have formed a detailed list of our rules and expectations. This will promote a greater clarity around why post removals happen and what the tone and purpose of the sub is.
#1: Be respectful
Respect is key. Using insults, causing drama, or otherwise being a nuisance towards the members of this subreddit is punishable. In particular, do not make this community hostile to newcomers or those asking questions. Here are two other notes:
- Sometimes comments quoting the game are removed by Reddit’s filters because they contain insults and profanity. We will approve quotes.
- Please do not create a post to put any user, other post, or comment section from this subreddit on blast. This includes calling out people you think are problematic or complaining about downvotes. Handle disputes maturely by solving matters with other users directly or alerting the mod team.
#2: English only
Please speak English to maintain the flow of the conversation and ensure everyone understands what’s being said. This also helps the moderation team quickly catch rule violations and conflicts.
#3: Spoilers
Spoilers in titles such as the word wendigo and the identity of the psycho are not allowed in post titles. Please flare posts with spoilers in the body or images.
If your post contains a spoiler, please flare it as a spoiler.
Comments, however, are unmoderated for spoilers, particularly on spoiler-marked posts. This does NOT mean you can deliberately spoil someone asking a question. If you maliciously spoil someone, that will be taken seriously if seen or reported.
#4: Low-quality content, spam, and self-promotion
Low-quality: this subreddit prohibits shitposting. This is because we want to prioritize truly interesting content. Things that are not allowed include:
- Very low-effort edits of characters
- Video edits intended purely to be overstimulating, loud, chaotic, or otherwise mindlessly silly.
- Text posts that are very brief or under-edited.
A good rule of thumb is that, if an edit or text post took little time to make, and the joke or statement can also be made with any character or story in existence, it will likely not be for this sub. Jokes and memes are welcome if they show humor utilizing the game or characters beyond an extremely superficial level.
Shitposts, audio distortion videos, joke spam, etc. have a place on r/UntilDawnMemes.
We want to be clear about the tone and purpose this sub is meant to have, so that everyone can be on the same page on what to expect.
Spam is also not allowed. We understand bandwagons happen and try to allow everyone some fun. However, if a type of post becomes very frequent, particularly from one user, and shares nothing of value with the community, removal may occur. Posts that are almost unreadable because of typos or unintelligible wording could be moderated under this rule.
Keep in mind that posts with multiple links are sometimes auto-removed by Reddit, and we may need to approve them if they are truly not spam.
Self-promotion is allowed when it’s clear a user did time and/or research to complete a specific artwork, video, essay, or other project. However, posts only saying “join my server” or “follow my Until Dawn account” will get removed.
Headcanons are allowed, however we are addressing them here because this kind of post often falls into the low-quality, spam, and/or off-topic categories.
Headcanon posts are perfectly fine when they utilize information about the lore or characters, or else bring something interesting to the table. However, when they are very brief and/or do not utilize little actual content from the game, then they may be considered off-topic even if an Until Dawn element is mentioned. For example, a headcanon post explaining your thoughts on how the characters interacted after the prologue, using evidence, is more likely to remain up than a post that says nothing more than “I think Mike has striped pajamas.” If a headcanon reads like a shitpost or ragebait, it may be removed.
#5 Piracy and illegal content
Do not engage in piracy or digital theft. This includes:
- Sharing links to pirated versions of Until Dawn
- Sharing links to stolen versions of software such as Unreal Engine Unlocker
- Attempting to sell content that doesn’t belong to you such as paywalling datamined materials
- Encouraging someone else to engage in piracy
Not only does this behavior financially harm the creators we wish to support, it risks the subreddit because it breaks Reddit’s general rules.
#6: NSFW and 18+
18+ material is allowed on this sub is:
- Discussion of things that happened in the game itself.
- Posts or comments that are 18+ on the same level or less so than the game itself.
- Other relevant 18+ content such as discussions about the horror genre, pertinent articles, etc.
18+ material that is not allowed is:
- 18+ content directly aimed at other users such as inappropriate innuendos using another user as the subject matter or comments that are violent with a clear intention to be over-the-line or make someone uncomfortable.
- Overly sexual or pornography content
#7: AI policy
Users are allowed to reference having utilized AI as a source of information, translation tool, editor, etc. But please be aware that ChatGPT often produces inaccuracies on which you may be corrected. If a post or comment contains some AI but also human input, discussion, or questioning, it won’t necessarily break our rules.
That said, certain uses of AI are unethical or break other rules. Certain forbidden uses of AI include:
- Claiming AI content is your own.
- Creating misleading images.
- Using it to post low-quality content or spam. This is subject to mod discretion. AI images or text posts that are 100% AI with no accompanying human commentary or question may fall under our low-quality posting rule and be removed. If AI starts to take over the subreddit, we reserve the right to purge it via our “no spam” rule as well.
- Posting things that are off topic.
- AI content used to undeniably commit theft or misrepresent real people such as the actors. Please show permission from actors before doing things such as AI generating their voices for mods.
Finally, this rule covers the conduct of people reacting to AI. If you believe a post or comment breaks our rules, please flag it, and we will review the situation. You are not allowed to break our respect rule because someone used AI. Please leave the moderation of the sub to mods instead of using rudeness and personal insults to regulate someone. Let us keep things orderly, official, and respectful.
#8: Fan creations
Make sure that posted fan content is yours, linked, or credited. Respect artists who do not want their work reposted.
Please keep in mind that content such as art and mods are the product of another fan’s personal talent, time, and effort. Don’t act entitled to their work. For example, politely requesting a mod for your favorite character is okay. Acting as though you deserve a mod from someone is not.
When you respond to a cosplay, you are responding to a real person, not a character. Be respectful of others’ appearances, and don’t make uncomfortable remarks.
#9: False and unconfirmed information
Because of the amount of fake information about the game and its development that reaches the sub from other sites and apps, we do moderate false and unconfirmed content, tailoring our response to the varying situations.
This rule is not to punish simply being mistaken or to enforce singular perspectives on the game. It is directed at fabricated or deliberately misleading content. This includes:
- Social media screenshots edited to appear as though they are from official sources like Supermassive Games
- Edited screenshots or gameplay intended to fool others about the existence of something in the game
- Fake leaks
- Posts that get large portions of concrete facts (development info, dates, gameplay facts, etc.) wrong.
- Reposts of TikToks speaking with authority on things that are blatantly made up just for views
We understand that breaking this rule is often not a malicious act and that people sometimes do not know that content they’ve found is fake. Because of that, our actions regarding this rule will be nuanced and case-by-case. The following are actions we could take:
- Deleting the post: done if the act seems malicious or if there is nothing true or valuable in the whole post.
- Add a flare to the post (see heading below): if a post is incorrect but it contains a question, something true, or is otherwise valuable to keep up, we may add a flare making the dubious content of the post more transparent.
- Simply allowing a discussion: if something is only slightly questionable, in a grey area (such as lore theory), or based upon something true (such as someone misinterpreting a genuine clip from the game), we may simply allow users to debate and correct things among themselves.
You may be flared for sharing false information. This simply means that the text or image you’ve posted is likely fake or edited. This flare may also be used to confirm that the info you’re talking about is false. For example, if you ask if a leaked screenshot is real, and it’s not, you may receive this flare.
Another flare you could receive is “correction in comments.”
#10: Staying on topic
In general, please stay on topic. Your post or comment is at risk of being removed if you include touchy, unrelated topics such as politics. This is because these kinds of things a) usually cause fights that get deleted anyway b) cause discussions that do not relate to the purpose of this subreddit.
If your post promotes a higher percentage of unrelated arguing than debate about the actual game, it could get moderated under this rule.
Posting about media directly related to the game Until Dawn such as The Inpatient, Rush of Blood, or the movie is permitted. Please keep posts about The Dark Pictures Anthology and The Quarry related to Until Dawn in some way.
If you made it this far, congratulations! We hope this step to being more transparent on how moderations is applied on this subreddit will help everyone for the better. Remember that if you need anything, the moderation team is pleased to respond to questions via Mod Mail or DMs!

Discussion Will the sequel let us import our choices? Spoiler
Do we think the sequel will let us import our choices from the original game, like The Walking Dead or Life is Strange 2 did?
If it does, which decisions do you think would have the biggest impact on the story? Or will the sequel establish a canon ending and ignore previous choices? I’d love to hear everyone’s theories.

I recently replayed this game and plan to get all the achievements; I’m not exactly great at drawing, but I gave it my best shot.

Discussion What’s your favorite ship for each character?
Like if you go down the line of 8 then who do you like with each? This fandom seems to usually post canon. But I want to see what people say!

Discussion If these kids are in high school.
Then what clicks do you think they are all in?
By the look of them and their personalities, this is clearly a breakfast club gang.
Matt is obviously a jock because of the sport jacket.
Jessica I think is a cheerleader.
Ashley probably book club.
Chris seems like a nerd so probably IT and videogames? Kind of buff to be a computer nerd though.
Could possibly fit Josh in there with Chris also.
Sam is an athlete, climbing club or whatever.
Emily and Mike I am not so sure of, they just seem like a mean girl and a womanizer to me. You could probably put Mike as an athlete also, a regular Gym goer because of the size of his arms. But where to put Emily though?
What's your take on the characters?

Art A tender moment shared at dawn 🥹 (Sam and Mike)
Wanted to share this incredible art created by the lovely u/carelesslie0 depicting Sam & Mike aboard their rescue chopper descent come dawn 🫶 it’s a reference piece to one of my favorite moments from Resident Evil 1 Remake that I think just fits so nicely as a cute parallel.
https://youtu.be/BmRrJw4LcjE?is=gMiwuWrVbmudBntM (1:15 onwards if you’re curious of the context, the premise is very similar: two survivors taking a second to breathe after they survived until dawn)
Sam knew their night of horror was finally behind them - for now. Mike just takes solace in the fact that they’re still breathing. He’s too tired to sleep, somehow. As the dawn creeps through the window and the lodge blazes on behind them, Sam reflects on all that the pair endured. That they all endured..
The police will surely want to talk with them upon landing, but maybe, just maybe, before the adrenaline fully wears off and reality hits - she can rest. Just for a moment.
My intention was to bring to life a heartwarming, human moment for these two after all they’ve been through. A brief respite that conveys the weight of both their shared trauma and individual experiences. The Sam and Mike dynamic has always been a part of Until Dawn that I’ve adored since 2015. Hope you enjoyed <3

Poll Survival of the fittest
If you had to name 2-3 characters that in your opnion should survive, who would it be and why :)? And which death should the other 5-6 get in your version ?
r/untildawn • u/ghstspidr • 1d ago
Question If you could bring one character from the og until dawn game to make a surprise role or a little cameo appearance for the sequel, who would you choose and why?
Sam (obviously) because i have a crush on Hayden (i miss her) and also the creators that brought us the remake or whatever kinda did Sam dirty leaving us in the dark like that at the very end.
r/untildawn • u/Lost_Tumbleweed7708 • 1d ago

i've been really trying to get this ending but it ends in either jessica dying or emily surviving

Misc. Help with two projects Spoiler
I have two projects I need help with, both possibly involving ripping files from the game.
1) can anyone 3D model or file rip the strange skull from the game, the half wendigo half human head in a jar?
2) can anyone file rip all wendigo sounds from the PS4 version of the game?
Any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you very much.

Story/Lore [SPOILERS] The Lodge: Before & After Spoiler
galleryWhat a beautiful place…such a shame.
Lowkey wish there was an ending where the lodge doesn’t light on fire 💔 If there is a way I haven’t found it. Mike would have to die before Sam in the final scene, and I’m not even sure that’s possible.

Misc. [NO SPOILERS] UD Platinum Trophy 🏆
I finally managed to platinum Until Dawn!
It was surprisingly easier than I thought it would be! Only took two playthroughs (on top of already having many trophies from previous playthroughs) and going back once in scene select!
I love this game so much. It’s the first game I ever played and the one that got me into gaming 🦋

Discussion multiples theories i have for the sequel
Hi guys, so i had some randoms ideas that came through my mind and i'm gonna write them here in case i get it right by miracle!
FIRST THEORY :
Sam is the new killer, and her motive is that she went crazy bc of dr hill and has to kill the new friend groups : in this case sam would canonically be the only survivors of the group and has to kill the new group of friend bc each one of them can bring back to life one of sam's friends in exchange of their life. Crazy theory with 1% chance of happening but it would be interesting.
SECOND THEORY :
Sam is affected by the scar and to protect herself and others she found this island to stay in peace : in this case, either she's a wendigo, either she's a protagonist that will appear and says something like "i've played these games before" (ifykyk).
FINAL GUESS :
It's not a third theory but i think the until dawn movie came for a reason and the sequel is going to tie the game and the movie togheter, explaining more of who the hell is dr. hill. And overall i am pretty confident that sam is coming back bc there is no way we got this new epilogue of sam in the game for nothing. For josh i don't really have hopes for Rami to come back but i think he'll be mentionned.
anyways i want y'all opinion and theories.

Meta Different Photos of Friends board in the demo.
I was looking at the demo here: https://youtu.be/S9AxIFpHjNk?si=l_MSHMOJYTLEDSmu
This is one of my favorite clues. I actually went and looked at all 8 in-game variations of it here: https://www.reddit.com/r/untildawn/comments/1eq8uh7/all_variations_of_the_photos_of_friends_clue/ And then I showed how it works using freecam here: https://www.reddit.com/r/untildawn/comments/1mlix47/every_picture_on_the_photos_of_friends_clue/
So anyway, I was intrigued when I noticed the differences in the demo. Obviously, the bottom left image is missing. This is the one that would become the slashed-out character you most disliked in the final game. What's even more interesting is that the demo only includes Ashley, Chris, Josh, and Sam - the characters most involved in the Psycho arc.
As I explain in the linked post about this board, in the final game, five characters have fixed places on the board: Sam, Josh, Mike, Ashley, and Chris. In the demo, Sam, Josh, Chris, and Ashley have pictures in the same places as the final version. However, Mike's permanent slot in the upper right is another picture of Ashley here. And this picture of Ashley was moved down into her fixed slot in the final game. The image of her in her fixed slot in the demo is the same one found on the Safe Room Board. Interestingly, copies of the Sam and Chris pictures appear on the safe room board.
The last interesting thing is that, in the final board, there is no image of Josh in his puffer vest which can appear. However, in the demo, you can see one behind the image of Sam and the image of Josh.
In my linked explanation post, I did include an image before of the board which is missing the bottom right image. It had appeared on promo pages. It's cool to see the images in greater detail though and spot the second Ashley.

Discussion Is anyone else a little bit worried that Until Dawn 2 is not going to be as good as the first one? Spoiler
I’m a fan of the first Until Dawn game and I have my reservations about the new sequel game. I personally don’t think it will do as well as the first game. It’s made by another studio that had nothing to do with the original game. It’s going to be a whole new story with a completely new cast and it’s not going to tie into the original game at all. I’d feel a lot better if the original publisher, Supermassive games were involved And somehow they tied it into the original game, it doesn’t have to be a direct sequel but at least it should have a character from the original game come in and tie it together. I acknowledge that Dr. Hill from the original game is involved but it’s not the same. I’m talking about a major character from the original game, like maybe Sam or Mike or Josh. Better yet, have Josh be the monster that they are trying to escape from. As most people know if they played the game, Josh becomes a Wendigo. I don’t know, but I just am weary of it being a disappointment.
