←Chapter 9

Chapter 10

Credits→

Chapter 10, "Repentance" / "Resolution", takes place roughly one hour until dawn, and is the final chapter of the whole game.

The player controls Josh, Matt or Jessica, and Sam as they all try to escape Blackwood Pines.

Ninth Therapy Session

The last scene involving Dr. Hill is no longer in his office, but in the cave that Josh has been trapped in, although the chapter does start off with him sitting at his desk per usual, making popping noises with his mouth supposedly emulating the dripping of water. He gets up and walks over to Josh who is curled up in a panicked state, and questions whether or not the 'sessions' are helping him since he doesn't seem to be listening to him anymore.

Dr. Hill comments on the current situation being "fucked up" and warns Josh that he is going to leave him, since he has a lot more to be afraid of than what he is imagining in his mind. He sarcastically reassures Josh, advising him to take deep breaths, and telling him he won't be alone for long.

06:10

Although this takes place after Mike and Sam's segment, it is played first. After opening with the final hallucination of Dr. Hill, Josh is eventually left alone on the cavern floor.

The voices of his sisters start to sing Frère Jacques. Josh begins to scream and panic, as eventually more voices - Dr. Hill's, The Psycho's, Chris', Mike's, Ashley's and, in the remake, Sam's - begin to fill his head.

He begins to calm himself down, and for the first time in the game, becomes playable. The most you can do in this section is move around the constricted area and let the scenes play out in front of you.

Josh will begin to have harsh and vivid hallucinations about his decayed sisters, as they blame him for leaving them to die. There is one QTE you have to hit, that will punch off a pig's head - symbolizing the pigs that Josh had to kill in order to commit to his prank. At the end of this section, Josh will see a huge Wendigo head come down and screech in his face.

06:00

After opening with Josh's scene, the scene switches to ten minutes before with Sam and Mike as they explore the mines.

In order to get to where they need to go, they must drop into ice cold water and wade through to the other side.

• If Sam wades to the direction of the water wheel on the left and picks up Hannah's journal, she will learn the truth about what happened to the twins.

Once making it to the other side, Sam will open the door where the head of The Stranger and anyone else that had died early on (Matt, Jess, and Chris) will roll over the ground. Mike will be shocked upon recognizing Jess's head. As they enter the lair, Sam and Mike will discover the Stranger's hanging body.

• If Jessica, Matt, Emily and/or Chris have died, Sam and Mike will also discover their bodies hanging.
• If Ashley had died by opening the trapdoor, only her decapitated head is seen up in a cage.
• If Emily died by being shot by Mike, her body won't appear in the lair.

Afterwards, Mike and Sam will find an unsettled Josh having a mental breakdown. Mike will snap Josh back into reality, and if Sam found Hannah's journal, she will tell Josh the truth about what she discovered. After obtaining the cable car key, Sam splits from Mike and Josh to climb up a rock wall out of the mines and tell the others that they're okay.

06:14

After Sam splits off from the group, the player regains control of Josh as he follows Mike back through the way they came. Josh will come across the bodies for the first time, horrified. If more characters than just The Stranger died, Josh will remorsefully comment on how he didn't want them to die. Josh will follow Mike down into the water, and after wading about halfway through, Mike will be pulled under. Josh will then be confronted by a Wendigo - who is confirmed to be Hannah - and Josh's fate will be determined on whether or not Sam found the journal earlier.

Mike will be revealed to be okay, as he is hiding a few feet away from Hannah dragging Josh away.

Josh

• If Sam didn't find the Scrawled Journal, and thus Josh didn't hear the truth, he will not recognize Hannah in time and she will crush his head immediately.

06:24

*Please note that the following segment will occur only for those who either had Jessica survive Chapter 4, had Matt survive Chapter 6, or both.

Matt and Jessica Are Both Alive

Matt will jump down from a mineshaft, reaching a table with a lantern and a lighter. As he lights it up, Jessica will attack him with a shovel. He will either dodge or get hit.

Either way, Matt will ask Jessica what happened to her. Matt will then have an option to warn her about The Psycho or The Monster (only if he had an encounter with it himself). Or he will be able to ask her about how she ended up in the mines.

After the conversation, Matt and Jessica will continue deeper into the mines to find an escape. Matt may also question the unnatural elevator cave-in a little ways from their meeting place. Jessica will inform him that it was her who fell through the roof. Matt in return will tell her about his fall from the fire tower. They will then proceed onwards, traveling through the mines, until they hear a Wendigo nearby. This forces Matt to make a choice of either hiding behind a wooden wall or running ahead down the cavern.

• If Matt chooses to run ahead, the Wendigo will catch up to Jessica and rip off her jaw while Matt continues to run.
  • If Matt chooses to hide, they will avoid the Wendigo (by succeeding a 'Don't Move' sequence) and continue moving.
    • However, if Matt moves or fails to catch Jessica when she falls, the Wendigo will discover their position, rip off Jessica's jaw, and then smash Matt's face in.
      • If Matt fails to make a decision all together, then the Wendigo will catch Jessica at the same time immobilizing Matt, rip off her jaw, then smash Matt's face in.

Continuing on, the duo (or just Matt) reach an opening covered by a couple of wooden boards. However, The Wendigo will see them (or just Matt) and Matt will be put in a position where he needs to choose once again. To abandon Jessica (or Keep Running, if she's dead already) or Hide Together (or Break Through, if Jessica is gone already).

• If Matt chooses to abandon Jessica (or Keep Running), the Wendigo will catch and kill Jessica if she was still alive, and Matt will run towards a metal door and attempt to close it.
  • If he is successful, he will survive and see the lodge in the distance.
  • If he is not, the Wendigo will break through and smash Matt's face.
• If Matt chooses to break through the wall he and Jessica will hide together (or just him).
  • If he moves, the Wendigo will see him, resulting in Matt having his face smashed in. If Jessica is alive she'll be pushed over and have her jaw ripped off.
  • If they remain still, the Wendigo will leave, and they'll survive while seeing the lodge in the distance.
  • If Matt fails to make a decision, then the Wendigo will catch Jessica, rip off her jaw, then smash Matt's face in.

Jessica Died in Chapter 4

Matt will jump down from a metal fence, reaching a table with a lantern and a lighter, he'll light it up and continue to try to find an escape. Matt may question the unnatural elevator cave-in a little ways from where the segments started. After possibly doing so, he proceeds onwards. As he continues deeper into the mines he'll hear a Wendigo approaching and will be forced to decide between either hiding or running.

• If Matt chooses to run, he will outrun the Wendigo for a short while, and will be presented with another choice.
• If he hides he'll avoid the Wendigo unless he moves, in which the Wendigo will see him and smash his face in.
• If Matt fails to make a decision, the Wendigo will find him and bash his face in.

As Matt continues on, the Wendigo will notice him. Matt is now forced to choose between either running again or busting through the wall.

• If Matt runs, he will escape the mines when being fast enough to close the door. Matt will overlook the lodge, having survived the night.
  • If not, the Wendigo will catch up to him and smash his face in.
• If Matt busts through the wall, and moves, the Wendigo will see and kill him.
  • If Matt remains still, the Wendigo leaves, and he survives and sees the lodge in the distance.
• If Matt fails to make a choice, the Wendigo will catch him and bash his face in.

Matt Died in Chapter 6

Jessica will walk up to a table with a lantern and a lighter, she'll light it up and continue to try to find an escape. As she continues deeper into the mines she'll hear a Wendigo approaching and must choose to either hide or try to run.

• If Jessica chooses to try and run the Wendigo will attack her and rip off her jaw.
• If she hides, she'll avoid the Wendigo. Unless if she moves, in which the Wendigo will see and kill her.
• Failing to make a choice will cause the Wendigo to find Jessica and rip off her jaw.

As Jessica continues on, the Wendigo will see her. Jessica is once again forced to decide between either trying and running again or busting through the wall.

• If Jessica chooses to try and run the Wendigo will attack her and rip off her jaw.
• If Jessica busts through the wall and moves the Wendigo will see and kill her.
  • If Jessica remains still, she will survive and see the lodge in the distance.
• Failing to make a decision will cause the Wendigo to catch Jessica and rip off her jaw.

06:36

Sam climbs up to the top of a rock wall and makes her way back to the lodge. While heading back, she hears the screech of a Wendigo, and starts to run in fear.

She makes it to the back door of the lodge, and attempts to knock on it to alert anyone to help her in, and is shocked as Mike shows up behind her, revealing himself to be alive.

After unlocking the door, Sam asks Mike what happened to Josh and, regardless of his status, he'll affirm that the Wendigo got him. Sam goes to turn on the lights, only for Mike to turn them back off, claiming it's a bad idea to keep them on.

Sam and Mike walk towards the basement until they hear Chris, Ashley and Emily (if they are still alive) yelling and running away from the Wendigos.

• Emily will also push past Ashley if the Wendigo bite debacle happened, Emily wasn't shot and Ashley revealed the truth. This changes the order that they escape from the lodge, as Ashley will now leave the lodge last instead of Emily.

Sam and Mike then see Wendigos chasing after the group out of the basement (or Sam and Mike stumble upon them when they open the door if the three are dead). Mike runs upstairs with the others (if alive) and Sam will be given a choice to lock the door or just run with them. If she chooses to lock the door, the Wendigos will bang on it as she runs upstairs, indicating that it will break down the door. Sure enough, it will follow the group regardless of Sam's choice.

Sam, Mike, and the others run upstairs and attempt to leave the lodge, until they see Hannah the Wendigo hanging on a chandelier. Mike tells Sam to stay still, and she will be given a 'Don't Move' segment. If she moves Hannah will see her, but Mike will save Sam and Hannah throws Mike across the room.

Regardless, Hannah starts fighting the other Wendigos. As she's fighting them she overpowers one of them and throws it towards the furnace, releasing gas into the lodge.

Mike then notices and walks toward an exposed light bulb, while formulating a plan to incinerate the Wendigos with Sam by directing her attention towards the light's switch. While Hannah decapitates one of the other Wendigos, Sam steps on a loose plank in the wooden floor, causing it to creak, and Hannah notices, starting another 'Don't Move' segment.

• If Sam moves, the Wendigo will impale her, killing her.
  • If Mike has been injured by Hannah earlier, she will hear him as he breaks the light bulb and slams him against another pillar. Chris, Ashley, and Emily will all escape if they are alive while Hannah is impaling Sam and Mike will take a lighter out of his pocket, blowing up the entire lodge including himself and the rest of the Wendigos.
  • If Mike has not been injured by Hannah earlier, he will break the light bulb and Hannah notices him, causing her to slam him into a pillar and repeat the above actions. The group escapes if they are alive and Mike blows the lodge up with the lighter, incinerating himself and the Wendigos.
• If Sam stays still, Mike will break the light bulb which will attract Hannah's attention and only Chris will leave the lodge. If Mike is uninjured, Sam can then choose to save Mike, enact the plan early by running to the switch and killing everyone, or do nothing. If he was injured, no choice will be given and the "Do nothing" outcome always plays out.
  • Ashley/Emily replaces Chris if he is dead.

Choices

If Sam failed the first 'Don't Move' segment or did nothing to save Mike, and Ashley and/or Emily survived, the one who is last (depending on who survived and whether or not Emily pushed Ashley) will begin to move backward towards the exit, but will be noticed by Hannah. Sam will then be given the same choice of saving Ashley/Emily, running to the switch or doing nothing as before.

If she is alive and the lodge has not been blown up, Sam will now be given the choice to hide behind a pillar or run to the switch.

Finally, Sam will be given a last choice to hide again in a corner or run to the switch.

• If Mike was injured earlier, hiding again will be pointless as he cannot escape anyway and will be incinerated in the explosion off screen.

If Sam survives and the lodge is not blown up after every choice, it guarantees survival for Chris (always), Ashley/Emily (the first always if both are alive and the last or only one if Sam saved Mike or her) and Mike (if Sam did not fail the first 'Don't Move' segment and saved him), if they lived up to this point. The Run to Switch outcome then plays without choice as everyone is now safe. Sam runs toward the light switch as a Wendigo attempts to catch her, but is stopped and caught by Hannah. Sam turns on the switch, and incinerates Mike off screen (if he was injured and unable to escape) and the remaining Wendigos.

If at any point Sam died, Mike will turn on the switch in place of her if not injured. If he is injured, he will instead pull out his lighter and create a flame, sacrificing himself to kill the remaining Wendigos. Any survivors who have not yet escaped all escape at once before he blows the lodge up, meaning Chris, Ashley and Emily are guaranteed to survive if Sam dies (except one of the girls if Sam survived until the option to save Mike came up, she did nothing and then also did nothing to save Emily/Ashley).

After the lodge goes up in flames, the remaining survivors of the lodge finale will look up at the burning lodge and the helicopter that has come to rescue them, thanks to the ranger informed by Emily. Matt and/or Jessica, if alive, will also be located by the helicopter in the distance where they were last seen. If everyone is dead or if only Josh is alive, the helicopter will not locate anyone.

However, he is still alive. If Sam survives, he will die in the lodge explosion off screen if she delays running for the switch at every possible occasion, as he is too injured to escape. If she dies, he'll take out a lighter and explode the lodge himself, with Hannah unable to stop him in time, causing them to die together.

Emily
