If you save Josh instead of Ashley, the story will unfold differently, and Chris will have to face the consequences of his decision, potentially leading to Ashley not being willing to open the door for Chris when he is being chased by the Wendigo. This choice has a significant impact on the game’s progression and the relationships between characters, particularly between Chris, Josh, and Ashley.
Understanding the Consequences
Saving Josh instead of Ashley means that Josh will not become antagonistic towards Chris later in the game, but rather towards Mike, if Chris had chosen to save Josh. However, if Chris chose to save Ashley instead of Josh, Josh will have some choice words for Chris in Chapter 8.
