The Photos of Friends is the twenty-second clue in the Mystery Man Clueline. It can be found by Ashley in the old hotel, in Chapter 6 of Until Dawn.
Overview[]
Six photos of friends among the group, with one person having their eyes crossed out. It almost seems to be some sort of hit list.
Location[]
A door will slam shut behind Ashley and Chris in the basement. Walk straight across the room and you will find the photos of friends on the wall in front of you.
Trivia[]
- Josh took these pictures, as the in-game description explains: ''Josh had plenty of opportunity to take these over the last year.''
- During the fourth therapy session with Dr. Hill, the player will have the patient select a most disliked character from among the eight protagonists. Because the patient is the Psycho, this session affects the photo placement on the wall:
- The most disliked character always appears bottom left with his or her eyes crossed out.
- The photos of Ashley, Chris, Josh, Mike, and Sam always appear on the wall. They stay in the same places unless one of those characters was chosen in the Dr. Hill session. Then, that photo moves bottom left.
- The photo of Jessica without crossed out eyes will appear if the player selected Ashley, Chris, Josh, Mike, or Sam. Her photo takes in the original place of one of those chosen characters.
- The photos of Emily and Matt only appear if those characters were selected in the session with Dr. Hill. They never appear here without crossed-out eyes and always appear bottom left.
- There are 8 in-game variations of this photo wall.
- A promotional image for the original game shows no photo in the bottom left corner, where the defaced photo usually is.
- In the remake, the Photos of Friends clue shows an additional version of the wall where everyone’s photos are present at once.
- This version does show Matt and Emily’s photos on the wall without crossed-out eyes.
- Sam’s photo was seemingly used as a model for her sketch in the original game’s fourth therapy session.
- Full, enlarged versions of the remake’s photos were used in Sony’s promotion of the game.[1]
