Mastering Choices in Until Dawn: Matt's Emotional Journey at Washington Lodge

🔍 Exploring Until Dawn Choices: Matt's Emotional Journey at Washington Lodge 

Introduction 

"Until Dawn" is an interactive horror game where your choices matter! Each decision can lead to different outcomes. Just like in real life, the choices we make can change everything. In this post, we’ll dive into Episode 02, focusing on Matt's journey in the Washington Lodge. Let's explore how to navigate this chapter and make the best choices possible!

Objective 1: Understanding the Scene

The story starts with five characters entering the Washington Lodge. This includes Matt, Chris, Josh, Ashley, and Sam. As the players watch the scene unfold, they realize they are about to get into the heat of the moment with intense arguments and complicated relationships. It’s important to pay close attention to their interactions.

Objective 2: Butterfly Effect Explained

In "Until Dawn," the Butterfly Effect means that your choices can create ripples that affect future events or character relationships. When Mike and Jessica enter the lodge, players will see a butterfly effect update based on past choices. If Matt has seen Mike flirting with Emily earlier, it creates tension and leads to a confrontation.   

👁️‍🗨️ Example: If you chose to let Matt look through the binoculars, you might see Mike and Emily. This will change how Matt reacts when Mike enters the lodge.

Objective 3: Making Choices to Shape the Story

As Matt, you will face tough choices that can change the direction of your story. Let’s break down the options you have after Mike enters.

1. If you choose to "Warn" Mike:

   - Attack: Matt confronts Mike aggressively which leads to escalating tensions.

   - Back-Off: Matt decides to cool down and avoid a fight, but this could lead to another argument between Emily and Jessica.

2. If you choose to "Challenge" Mike:

   - Distrust: Matt sarcastically doubts Mike’s innocence, creating further tension.

   - Apologize: Matt realizes he is overreacting and smooths things over.

💬 Reminder: Choose wisely! Each choice affects the story.

Objective 4: Navigating Arguments Between Characters

When arguments occur, Matt has more choices to make. Depending on his choices, the argument can escalate or be defused. Here’s how that works:

- Provoke (Emily's Side): Matt criticizes Jessica, which could fuel the fight.

- Defuse (Jessica's Side): Matt attempts to calm things down, and this choice could help soothe the situation.

When conflicts arise, showing your support can lead to different butterfly effects.

Objective 5: Consequences of Your Choices

After the arguments, Josh enters and tries to defuse the situation. Depending on whether Matt sided with Emily or Jessica, you'll receive different butterfly effects updates.

- Sided with Emily: You’ll receive the update for “Whose Side Are You On” after defending her during the fight.

- Sided with Jessica: If you supported Jessica, the update will reflect that choice too.

🌊 Example: This can affect friendships later in the game, so be mindful of who you side with!

Conclusion

In "Until Dawn," every choice Matt makes can lead to a unique experience. From navigating tense moments in the Washington Lodge to deciding who to side with, the choices in this game create an engaging story filled with surprises.
