PS5
The 2024 Until Dawn remake on PS5 changes the 2015 list: new interactables, thirty-six Totems and Josh’s best outcome require a dedicated checklist. An everyone-survives route provides a useful exploration base; conflicting deaths and outcomes can follow. Use chapter selection while maintaining continuity between a changed choice and its consequence. Do not automatically apply an old PS4 video to a new requirement in this edition.
2024 PS5 remake. Its list differs from the 2015 PS4 original.
- Required difficulty: A highest difficulty setting is not required.
- Missable trophies: Choices, survivors and collectibles can conflict.
- Online: The route is offline.
Build the everyone-alive route first
Protect characters through chases and decisions, staying ready for QTE inputs. Mike’s pursuit of Jessica rewards fast successful actions, while final stillness matters more than rushing. Do not open trapdoors merely out of curiosity on this run because some explorations have permanent consequences. Deaths needed for other trophies belong to another route.
- Preserve an initial progression with everyone alive.
Use the remake checklist
The list requires thirty-six Totems rather than the original thirty. New interactables form another category separate from the three Cluelines. Inspect objects before crossing a doorway that triggers the next scene. Use the summary to identify whether a clue, Totem or interaction is missing instead of searching the wrong list.
- Distinguish Totems, new interactables and three Cluelines.
Prepare Josh’s remorse and the journal
Josh’s best outcome needs a specific narrative direction: follow remorse in the therapy sessions, including “They hurt me” and “I’m so sorry” when available. Have Sam find and read the Scrawled Journal in chapter ten near the waterwheel area. The old route merely preventing immediate death does not automatically equal the new best ending.
- Maintain remorse and have Sam read the chapter-ten journal.
Protect wildlife in its dedicated route
Blackwood Country checks wildlife treatment across the game. Avoid treating one avoided kill as completion of the whole chain: do not injure animals and protect the wolf in the Sanatorium. Mike’s route requires careful QTEs and escape choices. Leave conflicting interactions to a separate attempt that does not compromise this progression.
- Protect the wolf and avoid harming animals throughout the route.
Propagate choices before chasing opposite outcomes
For nobody surviving or only Matt and Jessica surviving, identify the earliest change from the previous run and continue through the necessary chapters. Butterfly Effect entries help confirm registration. Do not attempt a death outcome by loading the finale directly from a state in which that person remains safe.
- Check the Butterfly Effect after each changed choice.
