Follow Chris and Sam to discover your first Mystery Man clue and learn the shooting mechanics in the Cable Car Station. Master aiming and firing in this early Until Dawn (Remake) chapter.
Alright, so after you make that first big choice, Chris is gonna want to show Sam something cool behind the station. Stick with him, and keep your eyes peeled – you'll spot your very first MYSTERY MAN CLUE pinned to a wall along the way. It's Clue #1, a 'WANTED POSTER', and you'll find it on the outer wall of the lower cable car station. Sam finds it, so make sure you're looking around as her.
Once you've checked out the clue, just keep following Chris. He's leading you to this shooting range that Josh's dad apparently has chilling out behind the station. Get ready for a little cutscene here.
CHRIS
CABLE CAR STATION
21:11
Now you're in control of Chris, and this is your chance to get the hang of aiming and shooting (or throwing!). It's way simpler than it sounds. Just move your controller around to aim your weapon. When your crosshair is right on the target symbol, hit R2 to fire or throw. Keep in mind these are timed, and the further you get in the game, the tighter those windows will be. The best part? You literally cannot miss! If you aim anywhere else and hit R2, nothing happens – no wasted ammo, no penalty. So, if you're feeling shaky with your aim, don't be afraid to just mash that R2 button. It’s a good way to get comfortable without any pressure.
Your first task is to shoot the initial four targets. Sam will chime in with some commentary on your skills. Don't sweat it if the timer runs out; you'll get another shot. Then, you'll have to shoot one of the bottles – pick whichever one you like, it truly makes no difference.
After that, a squirrel pops out. This is where things get interesting because you're presented with your first BUTTERFLY EFFECT decision. Seriously, this choice actually has a pretty significant impact down the line. Here's the lowdown:
- IF YOU CHOOSE NOT TO SHOOT THE SQUIRREL, AND SHOOT THE SACK INSTEAD: Chris decides against shooting the squirrel. Nature stays happy, and Chris and Sam's relationship gets a little boost. This helps Sam hide better in Chapter 5 when she's being chased.
- IF YOU CHOOSE TO SHOOT THE SQUIRREL: Chris shoots the squirrel. Nature retaliates – a bird attacks Sam! Chris's 'Charity' meter drops, but oddly, his 'Funny' meter goes up. More importantly, Chris and Sam's relationship takes a hit. Later, in Chapter 5, when Sam hits her head while running, the crow's scratches will open up, leaving a blood trail. This makes it way easier for the psycho to track her, pretty much guaranteeing she gets caught.
