Player Goal Tracker
Until Dawn 2 relationship advice is not ready for “choose this option” instructions. What we can do now is map each player goal to the relationship state that should be watched once gameplay, UI, and chapter scenes are available.
Confirmed systems
Relationship Systems Overview
These are the relationship-related mechanics or concepts supported by current official material. The system exists, but exact thresholds, UI, and scene-by-scene survival consequences are not public yet.
| System | Branch impact | Survival impact | Current limit | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Relationship statesDead True crew | Officially described as affecting which story branches open. | Implied, but exact save/death rules are not detailed. | No named pairs or thresholds yet. | Confirmed system |
| Butterfly EffectSmall character moments | Small choices can ripple into major consequences. | Likely relevant to survival, but exact routes need proof. | No menu screenshots or branch log yet. | Confirmed concept |
| Choices change attitudesHow characters see each other | Choices can affect how the crew responds to one another later. | May affect who helps or abandons whom. | Needs in-game examples. | Confirmed effect |
| Relationship metersUI unknown | Unknown until gameplay UI appears. | Unknown. | No visible bars, values, menus, or thresholds confirmed. | Needs verification |

Relationship Situations to Watch
The situations below are useful because they are concrete enough to organize future guides, but still abstract enough that the page should not assign names, outcomes, or death routes.
Intimidating boss pressure
Official material points to authority pressure around the shoot. The boss identity and branch effects need verification.
Reported situationBaby boar rescue choice
A small ethical choice can change how crew members feel about each other. Exact options and outcomes are not shown.
Reported scenarioAmbition vs safety
The Dead True crew wants viral footage, but real danger changes the stakes. Specific characters are not assigned yet.
InferenceTrust within the crew
Trust and relationship standing are confirmed as branch-relevant, but implementation details are missing.
Confirmed conceptTrailer interactions
Any arguments, cooperation, or fear reactions in the trailer need exact timestamp review before becoming evidence rows.

Goal to Relationship Mapping
This table tells players what to track later. It deliberately avoids final route advice because no exact branch thresholds, chapter names, or survival outcomes have been proven.
| Player goal | Relationship state to watch | Likely choice type | Current advice | Status |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Keep the crew together | Trust, cooperation, blame, and willingness to stay together. | Supportive dialogue, de-escalation, group safety choices. | Track later. Specific scene guidance is not revealed. | Track this later |
| Avoid betrayal | Loyalty, secrecy, honesty, and affair-related resentment. | Confess, hide, expose, lie, or weaponize secrets. | Do not assume betrayal triggers until gameplay is proven. | Needs proof |
| Defy or follow the boss | Fear of authority, crew autonomy, pressure to keep filming. | Obey orders, push back, continue filming, or leave. | Track boss identity and whether obedience changes routes. | Needs proof |
| Save an animal | Compassion vs. callousness among crew members. | Baby boar rescue or ignore choice. | Track exact prompt, supporters, opponents, and later payoff. | Needs prompt |
| Save everyone | Trust, ethical choices, group cohesion, and survival flags. | Relationship repair, avoiding needless risk, protecting others. | No perfect route exists yet. Wait for launch verification. | Needs launch data |
Future database
Relationship Branch Schema
Once gameplay is available, relationship branches should be entered with proof, not summary guesses. This schema keeps every future claim tied to a scene, condition, consequence, and source.
Branch identity
Branch ID, chapter or scene, characters involved, relationship variable, and threshold or condition.
Cause and effect
Choice that changes the relationship, immediate effect, delayed effect, survival impact, and ending impact.
Proof package
Source URL, screenshot, confidence label, and whether the branch still needs replay comparison.
Placeholder matrix
Dead True Relationship Matrix Is Not Filled Yet
The wiki will use a relationship matrix once official names are available. For now, labels like Dead True Member A, Affair Partner 1, or Boss / Backer are structural placeholders only. They are not official character names, confirmed pairings, or final relationship outcomes.
Proof tracker
Needs Verification
These are the missing pieces that would turn this pre-release tracker into a true relationship decision tool after launch.
Official character names
Required before any real relationship matrix can replace placeholders.
Relationship UI
Needed to know whether relationships use meters, hidden variables, menus, or recap screens.
Affair characters
Needed before the affair can be linked to character pages, choices, or endings.
Boss identity
Needed to distinguish an external backer, showrunner, authority figure, or crew member.
Baby boar prompt
Needed to document exact options, who approves, who objects, and the later Butterfly Effect.
Survival outcomes
Needed before any relationship advice can claim to save or doom a character.
Player use
How To Use The Until Dawn 2 Relationships Tracker
Use this page when you want to understand group dynamics without jumping straight into death routes or ending spoilers. A relationship can be important even before the exact meter, threshold, or UI is known. The tracker separates broad relationship evidence from route-level proof, so players can see which friendships, rivalries, trust changes, or conflict setups may deserve attention later.
After launch, every relationship row should connect to three things: the scene where the relationship changes, the choice or QTE that caused it, and the later payoff if one is proven. Until then, avoid importing rules from the first Until Dawn as if they are confirmed for Until Dawn 2. This makes the Relationships page a bridge between Characters, Choices, Save Everyone, and Endings instead of a speculative lore article.
