Guide Chris and Ashley through the terrifying old hotel in Until Dawn. Make critical choices to survive the psycho's deadly game.

Alright, so you've been following Chris and Sam, and things have gotten intense. Depending on what happened earlier, you might find a dummy dressed as Sam, or if you're lucky, the real Sam! Either way, you'll end up reunited with Chris and hear Sam scream. Head through those big metal doors on the left. You and Chris will see someone strapped to a chair. Use your motion controls – give that chair a good swing to get a better look. It could be Sam, or it could be a dummy dressed up by the psycho. Keep an eye on this, as it's a major Butterfly Effect moment: 'Chris and Ashley Found a Dummy in Sam's Clothes!' or 'Chris and Ashley Found Sam!'

Suddenly, BAM! The psycho was using that as a distraction and appears behind Chris. He knocks Chris out, and Ashley is next. Now, if you grabbed those scissors earlier, you'll have a choice. The totem shows Ashley getting punched, which only happens if she stabs the psycho. Honestly, there's no real benefit to stabbing him, so it's up to you. Want Ashley to get a black eye? Go for it. Otherwise, just let him knock her out. This leads to another Butterfly Effect update: 'Ashley Had a Chance to Defend Herself,' 'Ashley Stabbed the Psycho,' or 'Ashley Had No Defence Against the Psycho.'

Next thing you know, you and Chris wake up in the old hotel, strapped to chairs with a sawblade looming above. There's a table between you with a gun on it. Before the real action kicks off, Chris and Ashley will have a moment, sharing their feelings (or trying to, anyway). Then the psycho chimes in with the rules of his twisted game: Chris shoots Ashley, he lives. Chris shoots himself, Ashley lives.

Here's the crucial part: You need to point the gun at Chris first. Don't worry, it's the safest move and it gets the dialogue going. But before you make any big decisions, check out GUIDANCE TOTEM #6. It shows Chris putting the gun down, meaning waiting for the timer to run out is totally an option. This is your big choice, and it has serious consequences:

• If you choose to shoot Ashley: Their relationship plummets, and here's the kicker – Chris *cannot* survive the game later on. This choice is marked as 'Chris Shot Ashley.'
• If you choose to shoot Chris, or just let the timer run out: Their relationship improves, Chris becomes more charitable, and he actually has a shot at surviving. This is marked as 'Chris Didn't Shoot Ashley.'
