The show whose viewers wouldn't be surprised to see an episode dedicated to Sam's anti-gravity towel

Seriously! She's getting chased by a psychotic killer and it stays up like that??

And then she crawls through vents and it stays so clean?

This towel is clearly  worthy of a theory

So if you've watched our GTLive live streams then you know that we recently completed a playthrough

If you haven't watched our GTLive live streams then you probably STILL knew that we recently completed

a playthrough of the horror game Until Dawn

because YouTube hasn't put a toggle in allowing subscribers to opt-in to those notifications

Regardless, chances are if you watch gamers on YouTube

You've seen this choose-your-own-adventure, teen murder simulator hybrid

A game that mashes so many horror movie tropes you'd think they'd pulled Keenen Wayans out of retirement

And had him do Scary Movie: The Video Game

But here's the thing, while we were all making fun of the gameplay

"We are playing a game that encourages you to not move the controller"

The really good, but still not really good enough graphics

"Didn't quite make it out of the Uncanny Valley on that one" *laughs*

Until Dawn is more than just a goofy horror movie cliche simulator

And the villain is far more menacing than a gangly spider-zombie

It's a much darker, much sadder, and much more serious game than any of us YouTube gamers thought

Carrying an incredibly serious message about mental illness and the nature of choice

Now before I go on, this is a heavy spoiler alert

We're covering everything from the game, so if you haven't watched any of the hundreds of Let's Plays

And still want to experience it for yourself, turn back now

But if you want to completely change the way you look at the game

Now this game is a blast, not only to play but to discuss

You see, the game not so subtly points out that it's built around the Butterfly Effect

Where decisions you make earlier in the game have significant ramifications down the line

And what makes this game endlessly discussable and watchable

Is seeing how different choices lead to different gruesome murders for our -

*record scratch* Jeez they're 18 and 19 years old?

Oh man, now I feel really creepy about trying to get Jess into her underwear

No! No it is NOT when some of these kids are literally under the age of consent

Creepy revelations about everyone's true ages aside

Make the right choices, nail each QTE and miraculously

you may be able to keep everyone alive...Until Dawn

Meet Josh, older brother of both Beth and Hannah

We see in the game's prologue that one year prior to the events in the game

Beth and Hannah were killed accidentally after a prank went wrong

Fast-forward to the present day where, halfway through the game, you learn that Josh is The Psycho

A masked madman setting up elaborately sadistic, Saw-like traps

For his quote-unquote "friends" to make them pay for the deaths of both his sisters

Well, that and to get them all a few thousand clicks on a certain video sharing platform

Now, outside of the supernatural and cannibalistic wendigos,

Josh is the villain of the game, putting his friends through torture

As such, it's only fitting that he is the only playable character who will never survive the night

Either getting his head crushed by a wendigo

Or, if you find enough clues, turning into a wendigo himself

Except, hold on. Josh's story isn't so cut and dry

True, the torture of his friends is extreme

And he isn't adverse to going so far as to punch Ashley out cold

But none of his actions directly lead to anyone's death

His traps are only there to scare, not kill

Fake bodies, fake bullets, saws that don't go all the way down

Now compare that to Mike, AKA the village bicycle where anyone gets a ride *horn honking*

Who can kill Emily in cold blood, and the world rejoices *party blower noise*

Or how about Ashley? Who in some scenarios can choose to kill Chris while he pleads for his life

Then, in the final scene, Sam can actively choose to blow up the lodge early, killing everyone else in there

And then Matt who can basically leave his girlfriend, Emily, for dead when a tower falls

I mean seriously, the game gives you a lot - A LOT - of opportunities to kill off Emily

In short, pretty much every playable character in this game

Can take an action that will directly lead to someone else's death

But unlike all the other characters, Josh doesn't get a happy ending

And sure, I get it. He tortured his friends and, yeah, thats really bad

But don't let Beth's yoga pants distract you from the truth

What these teenagers did to Hannah was also really bad

They set up a prank where Mike, Hannah's crush, leads her on to the point that she starts undressing,

expecting a little totem action, if you get what I'm saying

All while they film in secret and laugh at her embarrassment

And unlike the quote-unquote "heros" of the story, who did this out of sheer meanness
