Where To Hide
When David starts knocking and the player is given control of Max, turn around. The player will have two options: hide under the bed or in the closet. Since Max can’t fit under the bed, the closet along the wall opposite the window is her only remaining option; however,opening the closet causes a lamp to tumble overand block your path in.
Rewinding To The Start
At this point,useMax’s time powersto rewindas far as she can and look at the lamp. She will now have the option tomove the lamp before opening the closet doorand can hide successfully.
The Major Choice (Spoilers Ahead)
The major choice in this chapter revolves around whether Max takes the blame for Chloe’s weed or not.
Max Didn’t Hide From David
If the player chooses not to hide at all,Chloe will blame Max for the weedand the player will be asked to accept the blame or place the blame on Chloe.
Max Successfully Hid From David
If Max manages to hide,Chloe will not blame herand the player will have the more altruistic option of revealing themselves and taking the blame or remaining hidden.
Choices and Consequences
Taking the blame in both cases results in largely the same consequences;Chloe will stay in a good moodand will show Max the stolen gun, but Max may be left witha permanent stain on her Blackwell record.
Staying hidden willmake Chloe a little upset,and she won’t show Max her new toy. Meanwhile, putting the blame back on Chloe willmake her furious and she’ll storm out of the room. Either of these optionslets Max off the hook, despite whatever David says, though they will have an effect onMax and Chloe’s relationshipgoing forward.
Remember to Rewind
Even if the player manages to make Chloe this upset with Max, on this occasion theycan rewind even further back than the spiral dictates, right back to when David starts knocking on the door, giving them the chance to hide if they want to. A full list of the series-long consequences of these choicescan be found here.
