Chapter 2 — until dawn

Chapter 2

Chapter 2, "Darkness" / "Jealousy", takes place roughly nine hours until dawn.

In this chapter, the player takes control of Chris, as he and Josh try to find their way into the lodge, Matt, interacting with the others in the lodge, Mike while leading Jessica to the guest cabin, Sam while following Josh into the basement to fire up the boiler and possibly Matt again, helping Emily find her bag.

22:00

Chris, Josh and Sam arrive at the lodge to find Ashley and Matt waiting outside. Chris and Josh then climb up the stairs to the front door. They begin to converse.

Chris tells Josh about Matt and Emily's new relationship. Chris then asks him on Mike's thoughts about their relationship. Josh will remark on how Mike's "already got his hands full".

Chris asks Josh if he's doing alright and worries on his well-being after her two sisters' disappearance. Josh interrupts him before he finishes his question, telling him that he has already moved on and just wants them all to have a good time.

Josh then tries to unlock the front door, but discovers that it has been frozen shut by the cold. Chris suggests breaking in, an idea by which Josh is very impressed with.

Chris and Josh then go down the stairs along the way. Chris then stops to talk with Ashley.

Chris asks her how she's doing. Ashley remarks on how it's cold, then subtly hints at his feelings for him, saying she wants to be curled up with him next to a fire inside the lodge.

Chris asks her if she's doing alright. Ashley will remark on how it's cold and how she feels uneasy by the place.

Chris can also choose to go talk to Matt and Sam:
- He can ask Matt how he's been doing or how things are with him and Emily. How Matt responds will depend on if he saw Emily with Mike or not.
- Sam will teasingly ask if he has seen Ashley yet.

Josh notices this and comments on how hot Ashley is looking to Chris. He tries to convince Chris to make a move on Ashley, and Chris can either respond favorably or unfavorably to this suggestion.

Chris and Josh walk to the side of the lodge and move a power box to help them climb through a window.

Chris attempts to crawl through the window, but falls clumsily. After a light bulb breaks, Josh tosses his lighter to Chris as a light source. Josh then tells Chris to find a can of deodorant in the bathroom and use his lighter to unfreeze the lock.

Chris makes his way to the bathroom and opens the cabinet to find the deodorant. Suddenly, a wolverine cub gets out, startling him. He goes to the front door and unfreezes the lock, seeing Sam and Ashley. The cub rushes past him outside, scaring him once again. Ashley and Sam laugh and tease Chris as Josh arrives at the front door. Ashley, Sam, Josh, Chris and Matt enter the lodge, and everyone begins to settle in.

22:28

After everyone arrives at the lodge and settles in, Mike and Jessica arrive late from the cable car station. If Matt saw Mike and Emily through the telescope, he will confront Mike about their encounter, and either warn or challenge him.

Matt will tell Mike to stay away from Emily, but he will deny that wanted anything to do with her. Matt can then either attack him or back-off. If he backs-off, Mike will ask him if something's wrong and Matt will answer that he lost his head. If he attacks Mike, he will tell Mike to "quit being such a dick" and put him in a headlock. Josh will then break them up and suggest to Mike that he and Jessica go check out the guest cabin.

Matt will question Mike's intention of talking to Emily and he will respond by saying they were just saying hi. Matt can then either be distrusting or apologize to Mike. If he apologizes, he will say that it was a long day and he overacted. If he distrusts Mike, he will say that he's sure that all it was and Mike will reply that it's a free country and he can think whatever he wants. Matt will counter and say to watch himself.

If Matt didn't attack Mike or didn't even confront him, they will sit down and Emily will enter the lodge. She will insult Jessica and a feud will begin between them. Matt will then have to choice who to side with.

The first time Matt provokes, he will tell Jessica that she's making everyone uncomfortable. Jessica will ask if Emily is "too frigid" for him too and he will counter by saying, "that's uncalled for." She will say that she doesn't care what he thinks and Emily interrupt and say, "At least I can think." They will continue to argue about their skills and Jessica will say that Emily is on crack. If Matt chooses to provoke once more, he will forcefully say to Jessica to shut her mouth. She will say that he needs to keep out of other people's business and Emily will interrupt and say she's going to get up in hers. Jessica will respond and asks if they are about to get real.

The first time Matt tries to defuse the feud, he will try to tell Emily to come on, but she will abruptly stop him and tell him to shut up. Jessica will agree and call him a dumb oaf. Emily will tell her to watch it, but she asks if no one else can "play with her toys." Emily will call her a bitch and Jessica will reply that she doesn't care what she thinks. Emily will say, "At least I can think." and they will continue to argue about their skills. If Matt tries to defuse the feud a second time, he will calmly, yet assertively say, "Emily, stop!" and that there's no reason to fight. Jessica will agree and asks why she's even fighting over her ex-boyfriend.

Regardless of Matt's decision, Josh will break up the fight and suggest to Mike that he and Jessica should check out the guest cabin. Mike will ask and Jessica will answer with, "Any place without that whore." They will leave and Emily will find that one of her bags is missing.

She will ask Matt if he knows where it is and recall that it was the one she got on Rodeo Drive. Matt implies that she may have forgotten it, but Emily replies by asking if he thinks she would forget it. Emily convinces Matt to help her find her bag and the couple then leaves the lodge.

Sam says that she will go take a bath as she walks upstairs.

22:43

Mike and Jessica are flirting outside when Josh interrupts them to hand over the keys to the guest cabin. He apologizes for kicking them out and walk back inside. Mike and Jessica will walk towards the trail and Jessica will hand Mike her cellphone to take a selfie.

Depending on how you took the photo, Jessica will either be pleased or tell Mike she'll take the photo next time. They'll continue walking down the trail when Jessica stops to tell Mike about Emily. Mike can either agree with her about Emily being a bitch or disagree and tell her to ease up on Emily. Afterwards, Mike will find the generator and turn it on, allowing them access to the guest cabin path.

Mike and Jessica will continue down the path only to find police tape. Jessica will tell Mike she's scared and Mike can either be respectful and say the twin sisters are at peace, or ask what she remembers. Afterwards they suddenly hear a screech, but ignore it and walk through a mine where Jessica falls down. Jessica will say she is okay but explains she is unable to see anything. Mike will either jump down and help her push the cart or give her instructions to do it herself.

Regardless of player decisions, Mike will get down and can either help Jessica move the cart or slide through the gap. Afterwards, they continue to find their way out of the mines. After they get out, Jessica will look through a telescope and tells Mike she saw someone at the cabin. Mike will take a took and get a close glimpse of an unknown creature. Mike will look at an animal information board and tell Jessica to stay close by. Soon after, he is scared by a bird and Jessica will tease him (where he can be grumpy or flirtatious about it). They will continue down the path and find that the path is blocked. Jessica climbs up the fallen tree and throws a snowball at Mike.

When Mike retaliates to make a snowball, he'll find that Jessica is missing. Jessica is then heard screaming from afar.
