10 Video Game Characters Who Completely Dropped The Ball

6. Josh - Until Dawn

To give credit where credit is due, Josh manages to pull off a seriously impressive series of pranks over the course of Until Dawn, including an impressively elaborate one where he fakes being cut in half.

While he carries out this wacky schemes to punish his friends for an earlier prank they'd carried out that had (accidentally) led to his sisters' disappearances, something perhaps more important is discovered: Hannah and Beth did not die out in wilderness, they became Wendigos.

So, not only is Josh's great plan to traumatise his friends to try and get over his own trauma, he also manages to carry out a supposedly pacifistic plan that can kill literally everyone, because somebody didn't think to check out the area around his own spooky family lodge.

Again, Josh has at this point had a total mental breakdown, so it makes sense his plan isn't foolproof. But you can't help but wish that, instead of acting like a fake version of Saw and then being attacked by his Wendigo sisters, he'd just sat down with the gang and talked about his feelings.
