The highly anticipated remake of the horror adventure game Until Dawn, originally released in 2015, has arrived with stunning new visuals, improved cinematography, and more refined controls. This thrilling game challenges players to navigate the terrifying world as one of eight characters, each striving to survive until dawn. While many players may find that most characters meet their demise in various gruesome ways, it is indeed possible for all of them to survive, which is essential for unlocking the coveted ‘They All Live’ gold trophy or achievement.
This comprehensive guide aims to provide players with the necessary strategies and choices to ensure that every character survives throughout the game, detailing the key actions required on a chapter-by-chapter basis.
Joshua’s Therapy Sessions
One of the significant changes in the Until Dawn Remake is the new ending for Joshua, which guarantees his survival in human form rather than transforming into a Wendigo, as seen in the original version. Achieving this alternate ending requires players to respond correctly during Joshua’s therapy sessions with Dr. Hill. Additionally, players must find Hannah’s Scrawled Journal while playing as Sam and return with Mike to rescue Josh, which is crucial for unlocking this ‘good’ ending.

Chapter 1: Key Choices
As players step into the shoes of Sam, the first chapter presents several critical choices that can impact the survival of the characters:
- When investigating Chris’s backpack, choose to close the bag instead of snooping.
- During Chris’s shooting segment, aim at the hanging sack target rather than shooting the live squirrel.
- Have Ashley encourage Matt to use the viewpoint binoculars instead of misleading him.
- In the snowball fight between Jess and Mike, avoid throwing a snowball at the bird. Instead, follow the on-screen prompt that suggests ‘Sometimes doing nothing is the right thing to do.’ After a brief wait, the bird will fly away, allowing players to escape the timed dilemma.
Chapter 2: Crucial Decisions
The second chapter continues to challenge players with important decisions:
- Back at the lodge, during the confrontation between Matt and Mike, Matt should refrain from attacking Mike over what he witnessed through the binoculars.

- When Jess finds herself trapped in the mineshaft, players should have Mike jump down to help her instead of adopting a standoffish attitude.

As the story unfolds, tensions rise, and players must continue to make decisions that will affect the characters’ fates:

- In the confrontation with the deer, avoid making aggressive choices that could lead to injury.
Chapter 5: The Stakes Rise

- In the scene where the group is split, make sure to choose to stick together rather than splitting up.
- When confronted with a dangerous situation, prioritize fleeing over fighting.
Chapter 6: Critical Moments
In this chapter, players must navigate critical moments that can determine the survival of characters:
