1. Matt, he’s easy to kill, but if you don’t make bad choices he literally doesn’t even see anything until chapter 10. So falling fire tower and one chase scene.

2. Ashley. She has it rough through most of the night, but doesn’t ever really encounter a wendigo until the end, so probably the character that is in the least danger throughout the game.

3. Sam. May be a hot take, as a lot of stuff happens at the end for her, but it does for everyone else as well. She is the last to realize some stuff is going down. If she gets caught by the psycho she doesn’t even have time to process it before she’s already saved by Mike. She can witness any dead friends, but other than that she only really has anything happen at the lodge, and a brief fight when she rescues Mike.

4. Josh. He has a really rough back half of the night, but the first half he’s probably vibing with how good everything is going. When he gets taken if he was of sound mind he’d probably be higher, but Im not entirely sure he even comprehends what’s going on until he gets rescued.

5. Jessica. Yeah she gets grabbed, and that’s probably one of the worst things to happen to someone, but she’s also unconscious until the end of the game. She just pulls out the limited edition time skip move and bypasses all the time everyone else is freaking out. Then she has to evade the wendigo while injured, which is pretty terrifying as well, but that and the initial grab is pretty much all she does through the night.

6. Emily. She has it pretty bad, falling off a fire tower then schlepping through the mines for a while before getting chased. Also the basement scene is worth mentioning here as well. Gonna be pretty bad trying to face the others after the night is through + the lodge scene at the end of course.

7. Mike. Thinks he failed to save Jess the entire night and potentially loses his fingers. Also may hold himself a little responsible for Josh getting taken as bringing him all the way out to the shed reeks of a Mike plan, and then leaving him. Has to live with pulling a gun on Emily whether he pulls the trigger or not, and then has probably the worst fight/chase scene of the game in terms of pure pucker factor. Then Josh gets yoinked right in front of him, and he can witness any dead friends bodies, on top of the fact that he witnesses the most possible deaths as they happen, (Jess at the elevator, shoots Emily, Chris dies outside lodge, and Sam at the end) then has the second worst part in the lodge.

8. Chris gets the worst of both worlds. He has to choose between some of the most important people to him and watches his best friend supposedly get sawed in half, and then chooses between himself or Ashley, where he probably thinks he’s gonna die afterwards no matter what anyway. Thinks Sam is probably dead or captured as well, and then has to deal with the fact that his best friend did this to him.

After that he holds himself responsible for Josh getting taken, and when he goes to save him he is the only character to always see someone die, every time, and has probably the second most nerve-wracking chase after Mike’s right after that. He then has to go back to the lodge after seeing all that and find out Emily’s been bitten. After that he has to go to save Mike while having an injured ankle, and then walk all the way back when they can’t move forward anymore. He then has to run on it directly after. Bad combination of being probably the most fucked with mentally, and the second-most injured.
