Emily[]
Emily was bitten.
- Emily: He held it right up to my face! Right here, right in front of my nose and he could have shot me! He almost shot me, the prick! I mean you go out with a guy for however long and you think you know him, but man, this one really takes the cake.
Matt and Emily's relationship status was high and Matt survived until dawn.
- Emily: Where's Matt? Is he okay? Are they done looking at him? I'm just a little worried because, you know, I'm his girlfriend. Did he tell you that? I mean, I probably wasn't his favorite person there for a couple minutes, but he knows how devoted I am to him. He knows. He said he knows, right?

- Interviewer: Beth Washington?
- Emily: Beth freaking Washington.
- Interviewer: Please, make a note to investigate further... and Josh?

Sam, Mike, and Jessica have died.
- Matt: There was-- There was a madman and he was after us. He... he killed Josh, and he was trying to kill all of us and we went for help, because he was trapped, and for fuck's sake, that was why I was on the damned fucking tower in the first place!
- Interviewer: But the tower fell. Where were you after the tower fell?

Mike failed to chase after Jessica in time.
- Mike: I just wasn't fast enough. I was so close, man. If I'd have just been... just a little faster, I... I could have saved her... I could have saved her. So it's my fault. I'm the reason Jess is dead.

- Mike: No. No... No, it...

- Interviewer: What was it like, Michael?

- Sam: You need to listen to me. I don't care if you believe me or not. Doesn't matter because you will. You need to go down to the mines.
- Interviewer: What's in the mines, Sam?
- Sam: I've seen what's down there, and I'd give anything to unsee it.
Josh[]
If Sam found the Scrawled Journal (in the original game).
If Josh did not show remorse and/or Sam did not find the Scrawled Journal or any other protagonist did not survive until dawn (in the remake).
If Josh survived, he will be seen eating the decapitated head of the Stranger in the mines along with his body and bodies of other characters - Matt, Jessica, Chris, and Ashley - that might have been killed throughout the game. A rescue party searching through the mines finds him, and they radio in to say that they have a visual on a survivor. Josh hears the voices and turns to them as the screen fades to black.
If Josh showed remorse, Sam found the Scrawled Journal, and everyone survived (in the remake).
A flashlight beam will be seen shining on a door in the mines. In the Wendigo's lair, the body of the Stranger is seen hanging on a hook. Josh, visibly traumatized but still human, sits on a rock, illuminated by the light from the surface. Dr. Hill tells Josh it's his own game that drove him to his deepest fear, isolation, and that he hopes he can find redemption. As Dr. Hill says that, Josh raises his face to the light (presumably when a rescue party finds him).
Trivia[]
- There is a total of 31 epilogues (both interviews and the mine findings) in the game.
- In the Japanese version of the game, instead of showing a clip of a character's death, it shows their intro screen.
- The policewoman interviews Ashley, Chris, Matt, and Mike, while the policeman interviews Emily, Jessica, and Sam.
- These characters will all be interviewed in the same room: Ashley, Jessica and Sam (room 1), Emily and Matt (room 2), and Chris and Mike (room 3).
- As shown in the time on the top right of the screen during the interviews, the chronological order of the interviews was with Ashley, Emily, Chris, Jessica, Matt, Mike, and Sam.
- All protagonists will have one piece of dialogue that will always be said if alive, except for Josh (who has none and is not part of the interview), Sam, and Jessica (who have two).
- Emily and Josh are the only characters who don't have interviews that happen regardless (Josh has none and is not part of the interviews).
- Sam, along with Jessica, are the only characters who have two phrases that arise regardless of the player's choice, which they can say in interviews; all other characters have only one phrase, which they always say.
- Ashley, Matt, and Emily are the only characters who cannot say all of their dialogue in one playthrough.
- The player needs two playthroughs for Matt and Ashley to say all of their dialogue and four for Emily.
- Emily will be the only character whose body does not appear when the police investigate the mines, although it should be behind The Stranger's.
- If Sam dies, Mike's final credit scene will always freeze for a while before fading to black. It is unknown whether this is intended or not.
- Notably, this happens before he would have stated his cut line of "...you don't believe me, don't you?"
- Despite being one of Mike's possible deaths, Mike sacrificing himself using the lighter is never shown in his "time of death". The Wendigo attacking Mike is seen instead, suggesting that he suffered fatal injuries and would have died anyway.
- Chris and Matt have some additional dialogues that were cut from the game:
- Noah Fleiss, who portrayed Chris, was omitted from the credits in the original version of the game. He would later be added to the credits through a patch, although his name remains absent in the icon for the credits.
- Emily's actress, Nichole Sakura, went by Nichole Bloom and therefore is credited as such in the game. She changed her name from Bloom to her original surname Sakura in 2020.
- Matt's actor, Jordan Fisher, was originally present in the credits, but was accidentally removed after the 1.02 patch. This has since been fixed.
- The true ending in Until Dawn: Rush of Blood, which can be unlocked after completing the story mode in Psychotic difficulty, shows the original game's after-credits scene in Josh's perspective.
- In the remake, a montage of the protagonists' deaths is followed without listing their names or time of death.
- Sam, Mike, and Emily's interviews have lines in which they address what the player could have done in order to save the other protagonists they lament.
- If Mike died in the lodge in Chapter 10, Sam states that it was her fault for moving. Mike's death is caused by the player failing the first Don't Move challenge as Sam in the game's final sequence, or the player deciding Sam should stop remaining still and start running away.
- If Jessica died after she is dragged by the Wendigo in Chapter 4, Mike exclaims that he could have saved her if he had been faster. As Mike, the player taking the safe path instead of the quicker route results in Jessica's aforementioned death.
- If Matt died, one of Emily's possible dialogue options is her wondering if she could have saved him. One of the crucial aspects of achieving Matt's survival is the player choosing Emily to give Matt the flare gun in Chapter 6.
