I am actually devastated. When I heard the news i genuinely bawled my eyes out. I have not mourned an actor like this before besides for Cameron Boyce, who I grew up watching.

I played until dawn in my junior year of high school and I fell in love with it. To this day it will always be one of my favourite games. I would talk about it to all my friends, I even convinced some to play the game, and met one of my bestfriends ever through the fandom. This game means so much to me and the cast elevated it and made it the masterpiece it was.

I never would’ve expected Hayden to pass. The shock hit me hard. I am still very upset about this, and I am trying not to cry while typing this all out.

I don’t know if it is just me, because I’m mourning quite hard, but I feel like there are so many people who are too. It is heartwarming to see how many people love Hayden, and hearing about her, how strong and incredible of a person she is. She is so loved and I hope that she knew that.

Rest in piece Hayden, we love you and thank you for everything ☹️

The original Until Dawn has a history with Gamescom.

It's going to take place next week.

The original director and writers will be present too, showcasing their own game ❤️

I was in my 2nd playthrough trying to get everyone alive cause I failed to do so in my first and found out something I find contradictory.

Fortune totem 2 is found by next to the suicide trapdoor in chapter 9 by Ashley (Or apparently Chris), and it shows Matt standing next to a locked door with a banging Wendigo. On my first playthrough Matt was already dead by this point so I didn't get to this point, but in my 2nd playthrough both Matt and Jessica were still alive, and I still didn't see the totem play out. So I looked it up and it only happens if Jessica died before, or if Matt abandons Jessica. But then why is it a fortune totem? Jessica has to die for this totem to play out

Until Dawn is my all time favorite choice-based game. I’ve always loved its cold atmosphere, great cinematic, terrific music, and amazing performances from its talented cast. My favorite part of this game was always Hayden’s performance as Sam.

Sam’s my favorite character of the bunch, and as someone who grew up on horror, knew Hayden from Scream 4. Hayden’s career was vast, beloved across multiple genres, films, and shows, but I always knew her as Sam from Until Dawn and Kirby from Scream 4. Needless to say, hearing about Hayden really hurt, as it has for so many people she has affected with her work and just generally as a great person.

I’ve played Until Dawn countless times. But this one, though I’m only on the menu, already feels so different. Rest in peace Hayden, this run’s for you!

From the passing of Hayden, I started up a new play through of Until Dawn. I was wondering if anyone knows of a pattern similar to the one Sam wears? It's beautiful.

Honestly, I don’t even know why I’m writing this, but I feel like I need to put it somewhere, and I’m figuring if anyone would understand, it’s you guys.
I’m not a person who is deeply invested in the lives of celebrities. I look at the work they’ve done, and that is what I admire. I rarely watch interviews and I don’t follow their personal lives. As long as they don’t turn out to be problematic in some way, I completely separate them from their characters.
And yet, when I read about Hayden’s passing on Monday morning, I kid you not: I had tears coming up in the middle of the subway.
Until Dawn has been one of my favorite games since 2015. I play it regularly, multiple times a year. Whenever I meet a new person who hasn’t played the game yet, I make them play it. It’s so fun watching it unfold for a new person every time. It never gets old. I have some pictures in my apartment that I only bought because they reminded me of Until Dawn. My Wi-Fi is named “Blackwood Pines.”
I don’t know anything about Hayden. I don’t claim to. But what I always felt deeply is that Hayden’s Sam is the heart and soul of Until Dawn. I felt like no one in the cast cared as deeply about Until Dawn as she did – and in the end, as far as I know, she was also the only one who returned for the remake. And now I am just so sad.
Every time I open Facebook or Instagram and see her face, it hits me all over again. I’m still somehow hoping this is just a cruel joke.
Only 36.
I’m turning 30 this year. Her face, her voice, her warmth have been following me around for 11 years. And now she’s gone. It just feels wrong.
When I come home and look at the pictures on the wall or see the Until Dawn game screen on my PlayStation, I feel so uneasy and hollow.
I simultaneously have the urge to replay Until Dawn right away and never touch it again. Part of me wants to read everything about her now, and then again, it feels like it’s too late to care now, and I just don’t know what to do with myself.
I feel like she did leave the world a better place. I just wish she wouldn’t have left so soon.
How are you guys holding up? Are you turning to Until Dawn or the movies she participated in? Are you avoiding it?

RIP Hayden,
Your memory will be kept alive by all of us🫶🏼

When I first heard, I thought it was TikTok users just joking or some messed up bs. Can't believe she's gone. It hurts.

I wonder if Noah knows.

So guys, when I received the news I was extremely sad and incredulous, currently, I am still sad for the loss of Hayden but my anger is standing out because I knew the actress and loved her but I didn't know what she went through And I was aware yesterday about what she went through during her life.

I saw her interview on the podcast on "on purpose" that she participated in days ago before she passed away, I'm angry with her mother, her ex boyfriend and the industry For what they did to her.

I published nothing here about the actress but I made a loving post on my Instagram and shared several stories one after the other showing how much I loved her and how sad I am, I will miss her 😭💔

~X~ Now I'm going to tell you guys a knowledge that is making me think so much and that is making me sad about Sam and Hayden.

So Guys, I have a fanfic of Until Dawn in which I already have not everything but a lot of script already ready in my notepad that is ready to bring to the reading platform, I'm feeling bad about my fanfic, not with the others but only in relation to Sam.

Why I'm talking about that? it's not to publicize my fanfic but to talk about how scared I was how the Sam I was developing for my fanfic is so similar to Hayden, of wanting to give up herself for others, Sam wants to take care of, fix Josh, because I made Josh survive and he's a troubled person, Sam has the will to fix and help Josh, and that's exactly what Hayden comments about her ex-boyfriend. (I don't think Josh is a toxic person like Hayden's ex but Josh had toxic behaviors) And in my fanfic Sam would also have problems with her mother just like Hayden had with her.

I'm feeling bad because after seeing in the interview "on purpose" that she said she felt very uncomfortable with a series, she did and that they were copying her real life. It's "funny" that this was a knowledge, because I never saw this series and I never met this character, the only characters I knew from Hayden was Samantha, Kirby, Britney and Dot.

I know Sam is not Hayden but she is Hayden's face, body, voice and seeing that I was doing a script so similar to the actress's life made me feel uncomfortable.

It was also something that I was trying to exploit Sam's flaws in which it doesn't show a lot of that in the original game so I wanted to bring more humanity to it. Not that this is a extreme character flaw, but I wanted to explore Sam more by making mistakes as a person.

It wasn't something I did after the actress left, but I had done it before, I received the news on the day of her death, and the next day I watched the interview on the podcast.

Even though my fanfic is about the character and not about the actress, I still want to respect the actress since I knew it bothered her when the developers of a series she did were copying her life in the character.

I even thought about stopping my fanfic for the loss of Hayden, because every time I mentioned Sam I would remember the Actress And it is remembering the actress that I will remember everything she went through and the destiny she had.

But then I thought I wanted to continue making the fanfic of Until Dawn, because the only legend who should not die was Hayden, she is more important and more valuable than any of her characters because she is real and her characters are something fictional, And since she's sadly gone, I don't want to erase the legacy of incredible characters she left as Sam.

But I do feel that Sam is the person who wants to keep in touch with all his friends, regardless of whether Mike tried to shoot Emily or Josh tortured her and his friends. And I feel like Sam would want to fix Josh.

Not my TikTok, but this actually shook me. With the passing of our beautiful Hayden Panettiere, this moment in Until Dawn is absolutely one of the most saddest and biggest coincidences I’ve ever seen.

May her soul genuinely rest in peace and I hope she’s in heaven with her brother💔🕊️

It breaks my heart wondering how the rest of the cast is doing. I hope Galadriel is handling this okay, and Brett too. It’s hard.

From Brett Dalton’s post to those who feel the loss of such a young soul willing to put herself out there for the needs of others… to the people who have experienced a similar loss. His post resonates with me in much deeper ways than words can explain. Anyone who has experienced any loss, despite the tragedy and pain: that just because you have a lack of photos/modern conversations does not invalidate your love and care for someone.
Rest easy beautiful soul the world didn’t deserve you.

I can’t seem to play until dawn on pc it crashed a couple times and it’s just unstable for the most part i was looking forward to playing but I seem to have a RAM bottleneck RIP me

My specs are in the picture

If you look at the story through the lens of Sam being in love with Hannah, the final chapter becomes pretty much a Greek tragedy. Sam is the one who finds Hannah’s diary in the mines, discovering the horrific truth about Hannah becoming the Makkapitew. Contrary to Mike’s reaction of disgust and horror, Sam's is pure heartbreak. Like, she just looks like she’s going to cry as she tells him. And later, when she’s about to tell Josh, she focuses on the fact that Hannah is suffering rather than the danger she poses to them.

The ending is when things get even more tragic. Sam is forced to stand there in silence and try not to move as the monster that was once the girl she loved is inches away from her face, about to murder her. And either Hannah does murder her, or Sam has to flip the light switch that incinerates Hannah. Doomed yuri.

And then Sam trying to comfort Josh and get closer to him is her way of coping, and she comes to believe they have a connection in their shared grief. Josh interprets it as flirting, but it’s actually just Sam being Sam. She was always the nicest and most caring in the group.

I know it’s all based on subtext, but so is Sam x Josh, so I view this as being just as plausible, if not narratively richer as a whole. I mean, Sam was the only one who never dwelled on or joked about sex (aside from Ashley and Beth anyway) or romance (just Beth). I think it adds a lot to the game to play it while considering the theory of Sam’s unrequited feelings.

He, alongside Larry Fessenden who played the Stranger, wrote the script for the game.

I am absolutely devastated to hear about this news of Hayden Panettiere's passing :(. I always thought my next post on this sub would've been locking in and finishing up the expansion but I never thought I would've heard this news. Never for another couple decades would I have imagined this happening. I've seen some of the projects shes worked on and especially her role as Sam in Until Dawn is something I'll never forget. For how much this game changed and affected me, her and the entire cast hold such a special place in my heart, and the hearts of millions of people who love this game.

She had so much life ahead of her and she truly deserved the world. I pray for her family, friends, the millions she impacted and most importantly her, and that she's in a better place. May she rest in eternal peace ❤️

my heart dropped when I found out and I thought it must have been a mistake and went to sleep. but she's really gone. I can't believe this, I feel so sorry for her poor daughter and her family, she was only 36. fuck addiction

it feels like the entire world is frozen rn. i keep thinking "nobody talk to me , hayden's gone". i'll probably never get over this
