SPOILERS DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN'T WATCHED/PLAYED IT YET

Oh my God.

I just finished watching Until Dawn today on Jack's channel, and it took me two hours, because yeah, the episode was that long.

BUT MY MIND JUST KEPT GETTING BLOWN OVER AND OVER I'M NOT ABLE TO FUNCTION ANYMORE.

I've been watching this game with Mark, Jack, and Felix. I kind of stopped watching Felix's and focused on Mark and Jack's LP's (Let's Plays) of Until Dawn. But Jack posts one hour episodes every four days, whereas Mark posts 30 minute episodes every day, so naturally I watch his more. Today though, Jack finished the game all in one episode and single-handedly made me very pissed off at him.

I would tell the story, but it's very long so I suggest you go either look it up, watch it, or play it.

But in Jack's game, no one died. It was going perfectly. I mean, Josh died, but for fúcks sake he turned out to be the psycho, so he faked his own death when he was with Ashley and Chris had to choose.

It was with Ashley did he screw up. He had a choice to either investigate a voice or go back with the group, but he chose to investigate the voice, and just as he chose it, he was like, "Damn it! I forgot that Wendigos can mimmick a voice!" and I was like, "OH MY GOD MCLOUGHLIN YOU'RE SENDING ASHLEY TO HER DEATH." I didn't know Wendigos could do that, anyway, so I was kind of surprised that they could mimmick voices.

We both hoped that the voice was actually Jess' one, but it was a Wendigo and it killed Ashley.

He was really pissed about his decision and trust me, I wanted to put my hand through the screen and shake him by the shoulders and scream in Filipino so he'd had no idea what the hell I'm talking about.

ANYWAY! He killed Mike, Josh, Jess, and Emily. Josh was going to die anyway, but he turns into a Wendigo. The game is fantastic. I'm blown away by the story, because even though I suspected it was Josh, it made a plot twist. A big one. He did not kill his sisters. After they died, he went crazy and brought everyone back up the next year and had some fun. Meaning, he set up all sorts of traps to mess around with his friends.

The Wendigos there are real, though. Hannah turned into one, and I'm not sure if Beth did, but Hannah turned Josh into a Wendigo as well.

The game has amazing jumpscares. It got me a lot, and usually jumpscares can only make me jump, but with this game, I almost fell off my chair. There was this one jumpscare my chair scraped against the floor loudly and I almost fell off. The best jumpscare I got was when Jack was choosing which way Emily was going, left or right. With Mark's game, he went left, but Jack went right.

So just as he turned right, a Wendigo popped up right infront of me and I was wearing headphones, which were loud as hell, and it made me scream really loudly. The neighbor outside peeked through the window and I was like, "Haha, sorry, a Wendigo popped up on my screen."

It got me really well and got the adrenaline pumping, so I was so alert and I couldn't stop moving after that.

Anyway, if you haven't seen Until Dawn, please go. It's only for the PS4, but gamers like Markiplier, or Jacksepticeye, or Pewdiepie, even Cryaotic played it. There are loads of endings so this was just one of them.

I really think next to Among the Sleep, and Shadow of the Colossus, this is my favorite game. It's amazing.

PS: I know this rant made no sense, I just needed to get that off my chest.
