    Sam is actually the most innocent of the group. She outwardly tried to connect and help Josh after Hannah and Beth disappear. She also knew about the prank on Hannah and tried to find her to stop her.

      I love Sam too, bu what about Chris?
      They have been friends since school and Chris is aware that Josh is taking medication. Sure, later he helps Mike to tie up Josh, but in his defense: He went through hell that night. Seeing his best friend die and having to choose wether to take his own life or the life of his crush.

      @@flufflewarrior Also Chris was never apart of the prank. He was there that night, but was passed out across from Josh. Sam realized it was cruel, yet she also was the one that initiated the prank on Hannah, which I assume is her best friend, hence the hesitation and the immediate attempt to comfort.

    One thing that I think a lot of people in the comments section seem to overlook is that Josh's actions were probably inspired by his parents' movies. They specialised in gritty horror movies with all manner of special effects. It's hard to say how much of it he came up with on his own, and whether he was capable of seeing the damaging effects of his actions when he grew up around horror movie sets.

      I mean to be fair if they were good parents, they should have tried to keep their children to an appropriate level of creepy. Not doing that could lead to nightmares/yes eventual desensitization. Then again they are absentee for the entire game and raised 3 kids two of which seem maladjusted socially. So you could be right.

Someone who finally understands the value of love and care. I’m so done with people telling me to rot in an Asylum and to be treated by doctors like Doctor Hill. Josh was the only true character who I understand. The hallucinations (Psychosis), the behavior that I never remember doing... all of it.

    Josh's story is so heartbreaking, and something I can relate to. I have BPD and mental health professionals don't like treating patients with borderline personality disorder. We're seen as too difficult, too hard to change. Some doctors plain out think it's either us "just wanting attention" or it plain out is dismissed as existing. BPD is real in my life, it is a hard disease to deal with, and no medicine can fix it like my bipolar can be treated. But I'm not impossible to fix. I've made a lot of progress on my own. In a system where diseases outside of the simple idea of how mental health should like, people with more complicated disorders get shoved to the side or shoved out completely. All my life all they told me I had was depression. But after many suicide attempts they finally determined I had BPD and bipolar along with my PTSD. I've been getting better with the right meds because of it, sadly Josh never got that. And it's so heartbreaking to see unfold 💔

In this case, he was deluded that what he did was a harmless prank with no real problems, when clearly, it was not. In this case, if he were to have lived, the best thing to have done was to send him to get help, put him on rehabilitation, and then properly treat him.

      Josh was the only character there who actually deserved a happy ending. Obviously Hannah and Beth deserved one too but they died and kicked off the game. And I think Ashley wasn't there when Hannah and Beth went missing. One of the girls wasn't there when she went missing but as for everyone else they most certainly did not deserve a happy ending. Nothing Josh did was as bad as what they did as a "prank" to Hannah. Legit. What they did to her....it's completely unforgivable I'm pretty sure it's s a and illegal as well. They secretly filmed someone undressing without their consent under false pretenses. That's so beyond f***** up. And I really didn't like how Josh was painted as a psychopath and crazy to pull all of these elaborate pranks when that's exactly what those douchebags deserved. Honestly they deserved a lot f****** worse than what he did to them. So it really frustrated me how the devs so clearly painted him as the bad guy who didn't deserve a happy ending.

And when Hannah leaves him alive in the caves, he's left alone with absolutly nothing but a corpse and mental health issues, still suffering a lot. And in all of that, with the multiple spirits of Wendigos surrounding him, he went cannibalistic like his sister. And turned into a wendigo, which is sad because he can't be with his sisters in death until someone frees him

    I think the bear trap the caught Mike wasn't a trap set by the psycho (aka Josh) but instead a trap set by the flamethrower guy to catch a Wendigo. It said in his journal that he would set traps in the mountains with human limbs (which he said were not needed anymore by the dead corpses in the mourge) to catch the Wendigo monsters so he wouldn't have to kill them and set their spirits free to possess another victim.

      According to the lore of the game there are only a set amount of Wendigo 'allowed.' As long as no one else takes up cannibalism on the mountain then it would all be fine, but as seen in the Josh lives ending Josh has become possessed and it implies he killed the police in the mines, so the problem is going to start right back up again with no Flamethrower Guy to contain them.
      And it's implied that after he killed the Alpha Wendigo that it then possessed Hannah when she ate Beth.
      That's why he locked them up rather than killed them the majority of the time.

Since he doesn’t intend to kill or seriously injure anyone, and he thinks his psycho games are ultimately just a prank, he uses his plans to give Chris chances to look good/prove his love for Ashley.

    The hand trap that resulted in the removal of Mark's fingers wasn't designed by Josh. It was a moving hand designed by Mr. Exposition himself (the unnamed hunter) to trap a Spider Zombie, because they sense movement. It was also mentioned in his journal that he removed dead human limbs (since they didn't need them) to aid in luring and trapping SpiderZombies. I just realized this while watching through a playthrough.

      If you really had a mental illness you'd realise they're not really similar to each other, and that the withdrawal from your meds can throw you through one hell of a god damn loop.
      And if you want to talk about responsibility for our actions; He didn't kill anyone. He was never going to. Sure it's fucked up to put your "friends" through psychological torture but that's exactly what those "friends" did to his sister.
      He might not be the "good guy" but he's definitely not the "bad guy"

    • @yyrael
      @yyrael 6 років тому +8

      It's a gross exaggeration to refer to the other characters' mean joke as "torture." Am I excusing the fact that they did it? No. But it's just the kind of mean-spirited, dumb, poorly planned stuff that vapid teenagers do. It did result in death, but that wasn't the intended outcome, nor was it something I imagine they could possibly have foreseen happening. It's funny, though, that you choose to ignore that and instead emphasize how *Josh* didn't meant for anyone to die.
      What Josh ultimately set out to do, though, was nothing short of monstrous. And medication withdrawal does not even begin to justify an extremely involved, premeditated plan to horrifically traumatize people. Schizophrenia does not justify cruelty. Nothing justifies that level of inhumane behavior. He's just a sadist, which is why he chose to punish people who weren't even involved in the prank. The added factor of his mental illness makes him pitiable, sure, but it's not what makes him so depraved.

    • @paradiso123
      @paradiso123 6 років тому +7

      Part-Time Party Time Sure withdrawal is painful. Sure my mental illness isn't as bad as his. Sure being given the wrong medication does suck. But you're still responsible for your own actions. If you keep experiencing mental illness, shouldn't you try seeing another professional or communicate to them how badly the treatment is going? Josh comes from a very rich family, so surely all this is within his means. However he instead chooses to create an extremely expensive and sadistically torture arena for his former friends.
      Furthermore, even though he didn't kill anyone, the stress he put his friends through could have resulted in a panic attack or worse. It will certainly leave them with emotional scars. To conclude, Josh is an interesting and well written character, but still a bad guy for what he did.

      I was under the impression that it was Josh interpretation of Dr Hill, I actually wonder if Dr Hill wasn't a bad clinician, as evidenced my the multiple out of hours messages to try and check on his patient.
      The problem with mental illness is that it can be suuuper tricky. It doesn't always present in a clear cut way, Josh is 18, so some of the more sever symptoms may only just be presenting *now* exacerbated by the death of his sisters. As you could see at the start Josh was a bit better at keeping it together.
      Some of the things that Matt Pat didn't list that are part of schitzophrenia is a flat and blunted affect, they appear very flat and unemotional alot of the time. This is a shared symptom with chronic depression, and in that context it may make sense why at 18 he hadn't quite reached his diagnosis yet.

    I also found it very interesting that everytime you "visit" the psychiatrist the atmosphere gets more threatening and darker. The doc also seams to get more aggressive and the building looks more and more broken.
    Maybe Josh felt threatened when going to the doctor and feels unsafe when he is there. I know it's just a minor little detail but when the doctor asks you questions for example: "What are you more afraid of?" and you always answer with "Snakes", on your next visit there will be a snake in a glass on the table. Maybe Josh was trying to open up, but then was scared to get confronted by the doctor and felt helpless in his hands.
    Also I noticed that it always feels like Dr. Hill ends the session in the middle of a question. It always made me feel like he wants to get rid of you as fast as possible.
    I also think Josh particularly chose Chris and Ashley for his game to get them together. When Josh and Sam go down the basement, depanding on which option you choose, Josh says something like this, regarding Chris and Ashley: "Maybe they need some sort of traumatic experience to get together...."
    As you said: He is delusional so maybe he truly thought to help Chris to get with Ashley.
    What I also thought was kinda strange that Hannah, as Wendigo doesn't seam to be as beastly as the others. When Mike and Jess are in the cabin and well... starting to have a fun time we see that the Wendigo is watching them. It could easily break the window but it watches them. Also it places Jessica's phone right on the doorstep for her to come out. The Wendigo could easily kill Jessica and then go after Mike, but it just draggs her away. I'm not a 100% sure if it is really Hannah, but if it is her she might be jealous and wanted to get Jessica.But this "theory" kinda outplays itself when we clearly see that Hannah (as Wendigo) can crush Josh's head... So yeah
    I just recently replayed the game and now I'm obsessed again. xD

  • @az_gabriel
    @az_gabriel 8 років тому +672

    (OBVIOUS SPOILER) ...
    Did anyone else realized how the wendigo Hannah protects Mike many times? I bet yes, it's pretty damn obvious. I've thinking of that since the beginning of the game.
    When Mike is going to the cabin with Jessica they are being followed by a wendigo, and that wendigo doesn't attack them (it just keep stalking through the woods). When they come to the cabin, the 'mysterious' wendigo is still stalking them, this time through the windows, so when Jessica asks Mike to close the window the mysterious (hannah) wendigo gets upset/jealous and throw Jessica's lost phone through another window to call their attention. Until that part, the wendigo is peacefully following them (because of Mike, of course??), but when Jessica screams that they'll have sex and all that crap, the wendigo gets mad, which can actually confirm that the wendigo is really Hannah, since she was in a platonic love with Mike all the time. The wendigo hannah gets Jessica and leave her to the mines, but doesn't kill her (!), another point that confirms that the wendigo is hannah. Wendigos have a uncontrollable desire for human meat but that one keep Jessica alive, meaning that the wendigo Hannah doesn't have enough courage to kill her friend. Another time is when Mike finds Josh in the mines and they are trying to return from it, then they go through the water and the wendigo Hannah gets Mike first, but let him out, then gets Josh and bring him back. And finally, when everyone returns to Josh's house, many wendigos are inside of it trying to kill them all, but the wendigo Hannah is trying to protect them (especially Mike, again). If you choose to make Mike the last one alive, there'll be a scene when the wendigo Hannah sees him and try to approach, that time Mike blows everything, and in a couple frames you can see a sad/surprised/disappointed face on the wendigo Hannah that was trying to touch Mike. Man that's just sick, disturbing!

      Theshadow34 All right I didn't know that Jessica could die that part. But anyway, how about the other ones? When Mike got drowned by the Hannan wendigo and when Hannan wendigo attacks the other wendigo to prevent it to killing Mike? I think the game is trying to show this for us by these scenes, how Hanna is suffering and how she can recognize him and still she will try to reach him (at the last part in Josh's house) (which I found very sad/disturbing).

    • @McBadassish

      I just pointed out that Hannah Wendigo could kill her "friends".

      Ace19444 It actually does work properly, but most people don't know how it works. Here's what happens: If the don't move segment is really long, like at the end of the game with Sam, then the little blue shape will slowly move toward the white edge on its own and you have to slightly move the controller in the opposite direction to keep it inside. I know that sounds dumb but it's the only way to make sure people don't cheat by putting the controller on the ground.

      I know the feeling. When I was a kid my "friend" would do things like choke me from behind or push books on my head and say it was just a joke. But jokes are supposed to be funny, and for the benefit of the person on the receiving end. If I could go back in time, I would have looked her dead in the eye and asked, "How is that funny? Explain it to me." And waited and watched her stutter as she tries to find something that doesn't make her look like an asshole.

    I believe there's more to josh than being the villain here, imagine having friends, some known long enough to be considered family and because of them he lost two sisters in one night completely taking his quality of life away where he has to be medicated probably way more than before to just barely scrape the surface. What he did wasn't right and they weren't in the right either. He was ill and the trauma made it way worse and i feel so sorry for him because i can't imagine that feeling and i understand where he comes from but what he did to counter his feelings wasn't right and should've stayed on the medication, but overall he was never a bad character or villain. Trauma and him being ill as it is, he couldn't think for himself anymore

    Maybe Josh goes after Chris a lot because he feels he betrayed him most cause they were both passed out but Josh didn't know that. They were best friends and he thinks he contributed to his sisters death. For Sam, he also doesn't know she didn't contribute. It's kind of obvious that Josh liked Sam so he feels she also betrayed him more than the others... He's closest to them and even though they're the two good characters, they "betrayed" him the most.
    Edit: If you're someone who thinks Josh doesn't like Sam, then another addition to my comment is this: Sam and Hannah were best friends. So Josh may also of gone after her FOR his sister.

People think she was trying to find her to tell her that Mikes waiting for her upstairs, but why would Sam do that? 1, Hannah was Sam's bestfriend, and 2, Why would they leave a note?

    • @Safiyahalishah
      @Safiyahalishah 8 років тому +43

      Not really sure about this, but I believe the main motivation behind Josh's 'prank' was based on his self-hatred and sense of being emotionally isolated from his friends. Did you see how much he rubbed it in Chris and Sam's faces that he was sawed in half? Josh wanted so badly for his friends to believe he deserved love, because after he failed to save Hannah and Beth, he completely abhorred himself. I'm sure a lot of people have wondered how much their friends really care about them, but for this schizophrenic kid who is not getting the medication he needs, he doesn't see anything wrong with actually experimenting with their love. He can't tell what's realistic anymore. Can you psychologically torture your friends and expect them to forgive you? Hell no! He does not deserve their support after doing that to them. He deserves punishment.
      But don't forget that he is _constantly_ being psychologically tortured by delusions and hallucinations. It's part of his life. And they're so vivid, even we initially believe they're real. Whole rooms and people and voices and music? I would believe it! From what we've seen of his hallucinations, they're always analysing him, probing him for his true nature, or aggressively guilt-tripping him. I believe it's a mirror into his self-perception. Everything those hallucinations say to him is something he believes somewhere in his mind. He's so out of it. I wonder if he even knows what he's doing. Maybe he believes everybody deserves to know what it feels like to have killed someone. He feels like he killed his sisters, after all.
      So those are two things I believe: 1, Josh wants to see how much his friends love him, and 2, he is truly no longer able to distinguish between what is a revelatory prank and what is an unforgivable act of mental torture.
      Now for the third motivation. It's possible Josh threw Chris and Ash around so much because he wanted them to get closer through their experience. It is alluded that he genuinely wants Chris to make a move, but believes he never will because he's too shy and awkward. Josh weaved the torture devices in a way that Chris would be forced to get Ash out of some awful situations and that she would love him for it. I think Josh actually thought he was helping them. It's disgustingly twisted. And he was so bonkers, he thought they would all be able to laugh it off and thank him for his 'stimulating' intervention. At the shed where Chris and Mike were tying him up, he said something along the lines of 'This isn't how this was supposed to go'. He really expected a DIFFERENT REACTION. How?? Crazy!
      One thing I'm pretty sure about is that he was planning to do some particularly nasty stuff to Mike and Jess when he was done with his besties. Separate cabin and everything? That is way too suspicious. And how about the fact that Emily lost her precious bag? She doesn't seem like the type to forget about such an important piece of luggage. The fact that Josh then locks her and Matt out of the lodge when they return only makes me surer that Josh intended for them to be separated from the others as well.
      TL;DR: I believe something was intended for all of them, but it did not go as planned because Matt and Em ran off to the fire tower, and Mike and Sam ended up in the torture chamber to rescue Chris and Ash.

    The prank they pulled on Hannah was especially cruel when you consider that she was the "shy girl" who was a bit sheltered, sensitive and very nervous. That trip to the cabin was the FIRST TIME she went out there! Imagine if you went to a high school party for the first time as a shy, socially-awkward bean and got ruthlessly mocked by someone you had a crush on, while everyone else laughed. That trip to the cabin was her first time coming out of her shell, and everyone knew that...
    "It wAs jUSt a pRANk hAaAAaaAnnnN!"
    I've always felt bad for Josh. It was obvious to me that he was mentally ill and he was already suffering from the loss of both his sisters, but apparently some folks missed this. I think it's easy to not take Josh's illness seriously because this game is so campy (in the best ways! Still a great game!), but it really can hit home when you look past the camp.
    I don't believe his illness excuses his actions, but it definitely explains them and it's sad to imagine that he went undiagnosed. I wonder if his symptoms started to hit home right around the death of his sisters... That might have been so hard to catch, especially when you have a grieving family at the same time.
    Welp, now that family has no children. I wonder if we could get an Until Dawn sequel starring Josh's parents in some way... Maybe they'd confront all of the kids that went to the cabin. I mean, seriously, TWICE they went to the cabin and got their kids killed. First the twins, then their surviving son. There is a lot of potential here... Especially if Josh remains alive as a wendigo.

    I actually liked Josh in the game :(
    Almost everything you mentioned were also my personal feelings about him. Like..he is not a bad guy..he just needed help and support from his friends..or..anybody. He needed help to deal with everything he's been through. But he never got it.
    But when you mentioned that he has no choice.. it broke my heart again. I was complaining about not being able to give him a "happy end" and not being able to save him. But I didn't think about the fact that he really had no choice. .. Ever! :( This makes it even more tragic for me :(
    But your theory of how he got treated wrong by the doctors tops it all ...
    I shouldn't feel so much for a character that doesn't exist in real life..but I do. He just has a very..VERY tragic story and in my opinion he deserves much better than this :(. I would have saved him no matter what.. He has been through so much and he deserves to have a "normal life" ..or at least get the CHANCE to recover from everything that happened..
    But he never did. And.. that just made me sad.. And it still does :'/
    ...yeah and sorry about that :'D ..I guess I really liked him a lot :'D
    ... Still not over his "destiny".. I finished the game yesterday :| ...xD

      Josh became my favourite character because i could deeply relate to him.
      As while playing the game and finding all the clues, while looking at all the medications he took, i knew something was wrong. Everytime i came back to the game i cry because i knew josh will die no matter what, and he will be forever misunderstood by his friends. :(

      you guys should watch mr robot. the actor is really awesome. i felt for josh too. and all the md's not realizing schizophrenia played a part was either a plot hole or used to tie the plot. actually maybe josh never talked about his hallucinations knowing it wasnt socially normal or maybe he never felt safe talking about what was really going on. and the sad thing is there probably wasnt a happy ending for him bc he was the scapegoat for the game. and it's more socially accepted that he gets no chance at a happy ending. which may unfortunately be a microcosm to how society views people suffering from/dealing with mental illness

    The ending to this video actually made me tear up a bit.
    My brother passed away April 22nd, 2014. From a unique seizure that caused him not to be in his right mind and caused an accidental unaware suicide.
    But prior to it all, he had passed out in the bathroom roughing up his face pretty bad on the floor vent.
    After seeing a doctor and being told everything was fine, the next day he went to work and crashed his car through a metal rail and landed in an embankment. Nobody was hurt, however he had some bruises and the car was ruined.
    But again... he was given the all clear sign from doctors.
    And the next day at work he passed out and was rushed to a hospital by ambulance.
    And of course... no help was given. The next day would be his last. It all struck so suddenly, and he was vigilant about trying to get help. And he was scared. And nobody did anything for him... he didn't get a choice.
    I miss him so damn much it hurts. After he passed I met 3 females with the exact same type of seizures. Who were getting sufficient care. I took it as a sign, and have been currently trying to start a charity in his name for that specific type of seizure.
    Anyway, this video was really REALLY great. Not only did I love the game, but this theory really shines a great message on the villain of mental illness and other issues in the like. Thanks Mattpatt!

    • @oranweaver3033
      @oranweaver3033 7 років тому +15

      +lilysworld25 By that logic, you yourself cannot be old enough to watch the contents of this game. After all, you did not utilize capital letters for your username. An older individual would know to always capitalize any written name. That must be correct, because the statistic "Most people do not utilize capitals or proper grammar, spelling, and punctuation outside informal settings," is definitely not true. You also judged a random person on the internet that you do not know in a way you could not possibly deduce, especially in relation to something the majority of the civilized world above the age of 18 falls victim to. Also, when quoting a word someone else stated such as 'and', you put quotation marks (") around it. When just saying a specific word or letter, you put apostrophes around it, such as the letter 'A'. Additionally, you should have used the word 'those' instead of 'that' in your final sentence because you are referring to a plural, you shouldn't have utilized the word 'this' in the final sentence because it's redundant, and you can, in fact, start a sentence with the word 'and' if it brings an additional topic into whatever discussion or text-based setting you are engaging in, so long as it relates to the previous point. And you forgot to put a comma after "First of all", because that is not part of the idea and is added on for emphasis or transition.
      Edit: Oh, and your first comment, "I feel sad that you watched this but you don't even go or listen to school," should be rewritten to "I felt sad reading about the original poster having watched this video whilst they don't even attend school or try to be educated." You are talking about a past thought that you had and you also said that a person must "listen to school", which they cannot do unless the school medium is purely auditory, and even then that is not listening to school, but listening to a lecture or some other word for auditory transmittance of ideals specific to a school setting. The only way a person can "listen to school" would be to sit outside or around a school and listening to the ambient sounds of the grounds or constructs within, which do not provide or boost an individual's already existing education.

    as a resident myself, I am impressed that you recognize that that is schizophrenia and have done good research about depression and schizophrenia. I was thinking "schizophrenia, schizophrenia" all the while I was playing this game. Well done! Thank you for pointing out the real message of this whole game: mental illness is cruel and sometimes misdiagnosis happens (doctors are humans too, they make mistakes as we all do).
    However, Matt, I don't agree with your statement that "there is no escape from mental illness". You CAN get out of depression, you CAN beat schizophrenia, You CAN beat your own mind! So, if you are experiencing (or someone close to you is) depression, thinking like there is no way out, or experiencing all the things that happened to Josh, SEEK PROFESSIONAL HELP IMMEDIATELY! Talk to your parents, your family, your best friend, someone you trust. They WILL and CAN help you. Don't be embarrassed, don't think a psychiatrist is someone who treats crazy people and you seeking help to a psychiatrist means you are crazy yourself. They can help you get through this. Remember you are LOVED.
    and most of all, YOU ARE NOT ALONE. There are a lot of people who are going through this and have gone through this. There are communities and support group like ADAA or Erika's Lighthouse or NAMI.
    Stay safe and stay healthy.

    • @LifeInPink999

      Faya Sitompul you can’t “beat” schizophrenia, only control it with medication, regular medication(that this kid was not given) till the end of your days. Not counting that it’s a degenerative mental illness not always but sometimes even medication is not enough. But it’s true some people who have the luck to have support and treatment can have a relatively normal life.
      Gladly different story with depression.

    • @djjones2602
      @djjones2602 6 років тому +28

      Josh's backstory and the presence of the sanatorium both point to the fact that sometimes the whole mental health system (not just individual doctors) really fails people. Sometimes it actively hurts people. Sometimes it engages in widespread practices that later generations will recognize as cruel and profoundly untherapeutic.
      Sadly though, your comment bears up how hopeless it is to point this out to anyone working in that system. They are all quick to say "seek help." But they will never hold their colleagues accountable for abuse, or attempt to change any of the many problems with the mental health system.

    I think Dr. Hill was actually good. In most of Josh's hallucinated therapy sessions, Hill came through to me as the "voice of sanity" in Josh's psyche, telling him he need to stop because the prank bad for him. Also, he got more and more injured as Josh deteriorated into madness

      I think that was what Josh believed Dr. Hill to be-I mean, that is what a psychiatrist should be-and yet it doesn't change the fact that he had made such a crucial error in Josh's diagnosis and left him untreated for almost 10 years.

    • @WarriorAuranae
      @WarriorAuranae 4 роки тому +37

      I think the hallucination version of Dr Hill was good, and indeed Josh's voice of reason. The real Dr Hill who we never meet was clearly a bad psychiatrist.

      Cows Go Moo Gaming and Chris, he was passed out drunk WITH JOSH! They both had nothing to do with it. I read a different theory that says he targeted his closest friends during the prank instead of the people who were most to blame (Mike, Emily and Jessica) because while he wanted revenge on everybody, he had a delusion in thinking that he was also helping his friends by making them "internet sensations" and pushing Chris and Ashley closer together. He thought he was getting even AND doing something good for his friends at the same time. Poor guy
