Steph

Steph's cooperation backstage is part of the plan. She is working with Jen and Helen. Jen told her about Julie's videos, and Steph helped keep track of Julie's movements, partly by talking with Leah. She also helped prepare for Julie's capture.

In the final confrontation she is the second of the three people who speak up. She says that Jen told her the videos were kept, which shows that her own videos were in the archive too. The game ends with a settlement: the archive is deleted and everyone in it gets their videos back.

Steph is age 25 in this game. Her level is a bonus level that opens after the main story. To unlock it, the player finishes Helen's storyline, goes back into it and finds a list of names, which also unlocks Jen's bonus level.

Julie, now the Host, is working through that list, and Steph is the first name on it. Four years earlier Steph helped plan the concert trap and walked away untouched. Her words at the time were "At least I'm not the one that ended up trapped." Julie has kept them.

The level starts as a message exchange headed "SURVEILLANCE". Steph is already in the Surveillance Room, a room with two screens, and Julie talks to her through an intercom. At first Steph does not know who is speaking, then she recognizes Julie. She is friendly and tries to charm her.

Julie quotes the line back. Steph says she was kidding, mostly, and tries to pass it off as old friends having fun. She also says the list was not her idea and blames Helen and Jen. Julie does not accept that, and the scene moves into the room for the tickling round.

Before the round, the player chooses how Julie approaches her: catch up, collect on a debt, or charm. Steph finally gives in and asks whether they are even now. She also warns that Jen is next on Julie's list.
