Jay Holt happens to be one of the more prominent and remains present throughout almost the entire story.

How to Save Jay
As one of the members of the Holt Brothers, Jay finds himself in a precarious situation. While not necessarily putting himself in danger, he is at risk throughout a large majority ofAs Dusk Fallsand therefore must be guided correctly. Jay has multiple endings, some of which he can be saved in. Ultimately, Jay’s endings can split into two paths: he either is arrested by the police or he successfully makes it all the way to Canada. In Canada, he lives alone in a National Park and asks Zoe to meet with him so that they can reconcile. The players will be acting as Zoe in this instance, and their decisions during the visit will decide Jay’s fate.
Saving Jay’s Relationships
Unfortunately, the player cannot save Jay’s familial relationships, as theensuing dramaresults in them all splitting up. If the player chooses to save Bear’s life by stopping him from hanging himself, Jay will mention that he has remained somewhat in contact with Bear via letters. While in conversation with Zoe, he will also mention that he has not heard from either Sharon or Tyler since the incident.
If the player chooses to jump with Vanessa off the cliff when crossing the border, he will mention that they lived together for some time, but ultimately Vanessa chooses to move away.
The only possible relationship that can be maintained is Jay’s relationship with Zoe. If the player selects “No, you’re not” when Jay asks if he is broken, Jay will invite Zoe to have dinner, potentially salvaging the relationship.
As Dusk Fallsis now available on PC, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X|S.
