## Plot

### Cassandra

* Cassandra wakes up in a classroom and she goes down to the first floor, where she finds the other nine students trying to bust through the main door. The students then hear a voice over a TV, voice belonging to The Master. The Master unleashes some mechanical arms, that grab every student and separate them, first it was Evan, then Jamie and Louis, where Cassandra follows them to destroy the arms with a metal bar. She still goes after them even if she misses them, resulting in a gate to separate them three from the rest of the group. Another three arms grab Raymond, Peyton and Alex from above and get them to the upper floors. The Master then unleashes some sort of weapons after the remaining three but they all split up and run away.

### Erika

* Erika runs from the weapons the Master set free by jumping over a locker. A door then opens in front of her, hitting it will result into her being dragged in the classroom, but missing it will cause her to get dragged into a utility room.

### Peter

* Alissa is dragged in the bathroom at the same time as Erika. Peter must choose after who is he going after. Either if he goes after Erika or Alissa, he'll end up encountering a monster, of unknown origin. He'll make a run for the stairs, but he is grabbed by one of the monsters. If he fails to free himself, he'll be dragged somewhere else and here will end his scene. If he has the pen, he'll hit the monster with the pen and run, if he doesn't he'll detangle. Going to the stairs will unleash some bombs planted on them, Peter is lucky that he didn't got caught in the blast, but also noticed that the creatures were not harmed, and some were caught. He mantles up to the third floor, and tries to proceed to the corridors, where he's attacked by another monster. At some point during the fight, Peter will drop the pen, and if he doesn't catch it, the pen will fall down and break for good. Catching it will save Peter from death, as he uses it to hit the monster and then push it down the destroyed stairs, a fall of 3 floors which the monster survives.

### Evan

* Evan frees himself from the arm and proceeds to get out of the locker rooms. As he gets out, a loud bang is heard, and Evan has to hide. There will be a Hiding and Keep Calm Sequence. Failing either of these will result in Evan being dragged away by a monster. Completion of both will lead to him evading the monster, but encounter with the masked figure and get knocked out by them.

### Erika

* Erika fights with the monster that's taken her in the classroom to escape. After she escapes and explores the hall, she hears a bang coming from the gym. Off to investigate she finds another monster eating a human carcass. The monster notices her, but continues to devour his prey. As Erika gets out of the gym, she encounters another one. She'll either dodge or fail and get scratched and then run away from the gym.

### Alissa

* Alissa fights a monster before she gets out of the bathroom, however upon her exit, another gate closes in, she must take shelter inside a class to escape the creature. The door locks behind her but Alissa finds a way to dissolve the lock with the resources in the classroom. The way towards the stairs is blocked by a gate, but Alissa hears another one being drawn down the other way. She went to investigate where she met with Jamie. Jamie revealed that the gate was drawn down to separate her from Cassandra and Louis, and that it almost crushed her and that Cassandra saved her. If Alissa has the pen, she can choose to either keep it or give it to Jamie. After her choice, a mechanical arm will grab Alissa but Jamie goes after her as Alissa breaks it before running from a monster.

### Peter 2

* Peter will be at the 3rd floor staircase, where he must decide where to head next and notices half of ladder leading to a trapdoor. If he has the pen, he climbs it and notices that the screw matches the screwdriver. When he opens the trapdoor, he gets jumped by a monster and must hold on the ladder. Holding on will let Peter access the attic. If he fails to hold on, he'll fall down and run away. Either way, he'll notice that the monster that assaulted him was a look alike of Peyton. In both cases he'll lose the pen. The following of the falling from the ladder is the same if he doesn't have the pen : advance to the corridors but get captured by another monster.

### Louis

* Louis tries to open the gate but he and Cassandra give up. They head to the staircase and they'll meet with Peter if he's gotten into the attic. Even if Peter is there or not, they'll still climb to the 3rd floor. If the attic is open and Peter is not there, they'll take shelter inside. If Peter is there, they'll talk about everything they know about the monsters and about all regrouping. Cassandra will also admit that a monster she has seen had Dylan's form. The scene will end with the three scratching themselves with the pen. If Peter is not there and the attic is not open, the two will advance through the corridors.

### Raymond

* Raymond breaks out of his hand and frees the other two as well, when they hear an explosion nearby. Raymond checks and he spots Peter running on the stairs. The three venture down the hallway when they see a fire alarm and think about whether or not to press it. The scene will end with the three going to investigate a heard gunshot.

### Alissa 2

* Alissa and Jamie will run down the hallway when they are separated by another gate. The masked figure appears behind Alissa and she must dodge, however, this will not get her out of trouble, but will just alternate the end of her scene : either if she'll dodge the figure and trip and get knocked out by falling, or if she'll get knocked out by the figure.

### Jamie

* Jamie will traverse the locker room where she is attacked by another monster and she hits it with her pen when a little bit of green liquid pours out of it that burns Jamie's hand. Jamie unfortunately loses the pen at the staircase because when she climbed to the second floor she's got jumped by a monster.

### Alissa 3

REQUIREMENTS : Alissa must have the pen with her

* Alissa wakes up on the 1st floor corridors being dragged away by a monster, she lashes out and attempts to escape. There will be two QTEs here : one where Alissa dodges the monster, in both cases Alissa drops the pen, the second will also be with dodging, but this time lethal : failing this QTE will lead to Alissa's first death. Completing the second will save Alissa and she'll run away, further through the corridors.

### Peter 3

REQUIREMENTS : Peter must not have the pen or have the pen but fail to access the attic. Alissa must not have the pen.

* Peter and Alissa will be brought in the same room as they were captured by the monsters. Peter unties Alissa and vice versa and they will run out of the classroom they are held in. They both jump to the third floor and Alissa will open the trapdoor with a tool she's taken from the classroom they were kept in if Peter didn't have the pen from the beginning, or they will enter directly in the attic.

### Erika 2

* The chapter will end with Erika reaching the 1st floor staircase and finding Alissa's pen.
