Chapter 4
Chapter 6

Nick lays on a bed in the lodge, recovering from his injuries. Abigail enters the room with a cup in her hands and tells Nick she couldn't find any food, and also points out that she left her bag in the kitchen. Though she offers the drink to him, Nick doesn't take it, instead opting to talk about the attack. Abigail asks Nick about how he feels.

* If Abigail chose to abandon him in Chapter 3, Nick has the option to bring this up and make Abigail uncomfortable. Otherwise, Nick can express gratitude or ask her how she's feeling instead.

Kaitlyn enters the room and tells the two that Dylan and Ryan are on their way to the radio hut. They also take note of the gun that Kaitlyn now has, and she explains that they found another gun in Chris' office.

Conversation is interrupted when steps are heard on the floorboards above. Nick has the option to speak up. If he does, Kaitlyn will tell him to be quiet. Otherwise, he will simply listen to the footsteps continue. Knowing that Dylan and Ryan have already left, Kaitlyn announces that she will investigate the unknown person in the lodge. Nick can tell Kaitlyn to be careful or urge her not to go but, no matter what he says, Kaitlyn will leave.

Chapter 4
Chapter 6

Kaitlyn goes to investigate and sees Bobby wandering in the lodge. A QTE appears for her to dodge his flashlight as he shines it towards her.

* If it's succeeded, Kaitlyn hides and avoids the light. Bobby then radios that there's no sign of "them", and is told to "blood 'em" if he finds them.
* If it's failed, Bobby sees her, and runs towards her. She can complete a QTE to fight him off
	+ If this is failed, Bobby disarms her, but is distracted by Jed asking him where he is over his walkie-talkie. Kaitlyn then flees, but without the gun. The section ends.

Bobby then returns as Kaitlyn ducks down to avoid him. She is presented with a "Don't Breathe" segment.

* Failing it causes him to spot her, and he throws a vial of blood at her. A QTE appears to dodge it
	+ Failing it results in the vial exploding after hitting Kaitlyn, covering her face in blood

After noticing Kaitlyn is armed, Bobby grabs a table and uses it as a shield. Kaitlyn is able to shoot

Either way, Bobby throws Kaitlyn down some stairs as she drops the gun. A QTE to avoid him grabbing her again appears. Regardless, Bobby is then asked through the radio of his whereabouts, causing Kaitlyn to escape

Chapter 4
Chapter 6

While Kaitlyn is outside the room, investigating the stranger in the lodge, Nick talks to Abigail. Nick can be friendly or bitter during the conversation but even the warmer option can result in an unexpected outburst from Nick.

First, he brings up the fact that the two may never see each other again after the night is over. Yet, Abigail seems too distracted by her concern for Kaitlyn. Nick can snap at her for this, annoyed that she isn't paying attention to what he's saying or he can instead reassure her that Kaitlyn will be fine.

Nick can then bring up the event from earlier - how their interaction in Chapter 3, at the log, could've developed into something more if they hadn't been attacked. Abigail asks Nick if he wanted more to happen to which Nick replies with sudden aggression - "Duh! Are you dumb?". Immediately after it occurs, Nick apologizes for the outburst - quickly rephrasing his response more politely. He asks her if she also wanted more development in their relationship. She seems hesitant to answer but eventually, after some probing from Nick, she says she did. Still, Nick is unsatisfied with this answer, claiming she's only saying that because he's hurt. Otherwise, Nick can respond bitterly, again criticizing her for not paying attention to him.

Following this conversation, Abigail hears a loud thump nearby so tells Nick that they should hide. Before they can, Kaitlyn bursts into the room, urging everyone to leave the room. Nick is given the option to hide or run.

Hiding triggers a Don't Breathe segment as Bobby enters the room. Successfully completing this results in all three escaping through the window without being seen.

Failing the Don't Breathe segment, choosing to run, or doing nothing results in Abigail being grabbed by Bobby. If she was bitten in Chapter 3, Abigail will push Bobby away before Nick approaches. Otherwise, she will struggle to no avail until Nick charges at Bobby - Bobby releasing his grip on her to instead attack Nick.

A QTE to dodge Bobby's punch appears. Even if this is failed, Nick quickly gets back on his feet. He then grabs Bobby by the neck and can continue to choke him with a button-mashing QTE. Whether or not he completes this QTE successfully, Nick abandons Bobby to follow the others as they climb out the window.

Nick, Abigail and Kaitlyn leave the lodge.

Chapter 4
Chapter 6

Ryan and Dylan enter the radio hut. Ryan comments that the inside is a dump, but Dylan says he's been putting in a lot of work to get the place up and running. When Ryan asks how the broadcasting equipment works, Dylan explains that messages can travel to portable radios and that the range is about a mile. Ryan can be Dismissive or Interested.

* Dismissive: he says he doesn't think it would help due to the short range
* Interested: he asks how Dylan knows all of this, to which he responds that he just picked it up on his own.

Either way, Dylan explains that they can talk into the radio, but they need to switch it to the receiver end if they want to hear if anything gets broadcasted back. He then asks Ryan what he should say. Ryan tells him to make it sound urgent, leading to Dylan broadcasting a comically long S.O.S. message. After Ryan judges him for saying "swarm of bears" instead of "herd of bears", Dylan mishears him and claims that he has heard of bears, before they switch the radio to the receiver end. They hear radio communications between Jed and Bobby, including that they got a radio ping but no response, they will head to the station to check it out, there are two males in the radio shack near the cabins, and there is a couple who are unaccounted for. Ryan can be Reassuring or Concerned

* Reassuring: he says that it might not be referring to them
* Concerned: he realizes the voices are talking about the counselors, causing Dylan to panic and realize that he inadvertently told the hunters of their location

Either way, Ryan says they should find Kaitlyn and can't stay there because the hunters know where they are. Dylan agrees and opens the door to leave, only to be greeted and startled by a werewolf. He immediately returns and asks Ryan why he didn't tell him there was something outside, to which Ryan can be Aggressive or Apologetic

* Aggressive: he protests that he didn't know what he saw
* Apologetic: he uncertainly says he wasn't sure

They then hear the creature on the roof, deducing it can't be a bear since bears don't jump like that. Ryan then notices Kaitlyn, Abi, and Nick walking towards the hut, and warns them through the PA system to get into a cabin, which they do.

The guys then deduce that if the creature's hearing is similar to that of a dog, they can play a high-pitched feedback loop to scare it away. Dylan notices that the wire has been broken, and decides to try fixing it.

If Abi broke into the cabin, Dylan's arm will get bitten, causing him to panic and order Ryan to amputate his hand as the infection is spreading.

* If Ryan agrees, he must choose to use either the shotgun to shoot it off or a chainsaw to cut it off. The hand will be successfully amputated regardless of which tool he uses.
* If Ryan refuses, Dylan will stare at him in disappointment. Choosing this option guarantees Dylan's survival of the night.

## Trivia

* If Abigail chose to leave the bags in Chapter 1, Dylan will not get attacked by the werewolf, thus avoiding the choice of whether or not to cut off Dylan’s hand.
* If Dylan is attacked by the werewolf and Ryan chooses not to cut off Dylan's hand, Dylan is guaranteed to survive the rest of the game. Dylan is the second counselor whose survival can be guaranteed, after Emma in Chapter 4.
* Like Jacob, Kaitlyn can also be covered in blood if she fails to dodge the blood vile thrown by Bobby.
* If Abi abandoned Nick in Chapter 3, Nick can mention it which will worry Abi.
* Ryan can shoot the roof.
* If Ryan covers Dylan and fails to the first QTE when Silas jumps at him, the wolf will grab onto Ryan’s gun, Ryan will struggle and scream but by sheer luck the alarm activates just in time scares off the wolf.
* If Ryan agrees to cut off Dylan’s hand, he can either shoot it off with a rifle or slice it off with a chainsaw.
* If Kaitlyn fails to fend off Bobby, she can find tickets in Chapter 10.
* Kaylee is the only character to always die in this game.
