Eight Therapy Session[]
The office Dr. Hill is seen sitting in is now beginning to mold with the snowy forest that Josh is being dragged through by a Wendigo. Various trees are now seen inside of the office, however, the roof still appears to be intact. Dr. Hill is now sitting with Josh at his desk.
Dr. Hill: Oh Joshua... you should have listened to me. Because of your choices people have died. I don't know which is worse, actively triggering events that lead to someone's death, or passively allowing a tragedy to occur because you couldn't lift a god-damned finger to help someone else.
Dr. Hill pauses for a moment.
Dr. Hill: Remember last year? Huh? How you left your poor sisters to die? You did nothing to help them! Paralyzed by your own self-centered fear while a real threat was closing in.
Josh breathes heavily as he lowers his head in guilt.
Dr. Hill: No, it's all about you, Josh! It's always all about you!
Josh raises his head as Dr. Hill attempts to hand him a tissue, however, it is blown away by the strong winds.
Dr. Hill: Your game has gone terribly wrong. And your friends, like your sisters, have deserted you. You are all alone. Can you feel how cold your loneliness has become?
(If the player did not choose Josh, Chris, or Ashley as their most disliked character:)
- Dr. Hill: Why did you hurt them?
- Josh does not respond.
- Dr. Hill: Joshua, why did you hurt them?!
(If the player chose Josh as their most disliked character:)
- Dr. Hill: Now why did you hurt them? It is yourself that you despise! You've already admitted as much!
(If the player chose Chris as their most disliked character:)
- Dr. Hill: Why did you hurt them? Chris was your best friend... and yet you despised him THAT much?
(If the player chose Ashley as their most disliked character:)
- Dr. Hill: Why did you hurt them? Ashley did nothing to you... and yet you despised her THAT much?
The camera turns to a nervous-looking Josh, and presents the player with two choices to determine how they would like Josh to respond. The two options are: "They hurt me" and "I didn't hurt anyone".
(If Josh says "I didn't hurt anyone":)
- Dr. Hill: Oh, but of course you did. They were your friends, you misled them, you lied to them. And you put them through a night of genuine horror.
(If Josh says "They hurt me":)
- Dr. Hill: They didn't hurt you Joshua. Not intentionally. They made a stupid mistake and a terrible tragedy befell your sisters. They did not intend for that to happen, it just DID. And they were sorry at least until you subjected them to your night of horrific torture.
(In the original game:)
- Another set of choices appears; one choice says "It was just a game", and the other says "I'm so sorry".
- (If Josh says "I'm so sorry":)
- If Dr. Hill concluded your fear to be isolation:
- Dr. Hill: Let's hope it's not too late for atonement. And that your friends, if they still are your friends, can save you from this terrible isolation.
- If Dr. Hill concluded your fear to be the dark:
- Dr. Hill: Let's hope it's not too late for atonement. And that your friends, if they still are your friends, can save you from the depths of darkness.
- If Dr. Hill concluded your fear to be neither isolation nor the dark:
- Dr. Hill: Let's hope it's not too late for atonement. And that your friends, if they still are your friends, can save you from something even worse than death itself.
- (If Josh says "It was just a game":)
- If Dr. Hill concluded your fear to be isolation:
- Dr. Hill: Just a game? But it's a game that has driven you to one of your own deepest fears, Joshua. Isolation.
- If Dr. Hill concluded your fear to be the dark:
- Dr. Hill: Just a game? But it is a game that has driven you to one of your own deepest fears, Joshua. Darkness.
- If Dr. Hill concluded your fear to be neither isolation nor the dark:
- Dr. Hill: Just a game? I hope for your sake, Joshua, that you can find redemption.
- Josh lowers his head and continues to breathe heavily...
(In the remake:)
