Okay, so I got to thinking about something. I realize this probably isn't a game that they intended for the players to continuously think about the larger picture and stuff, but I'm pretty analytical and like to find meaning in things, and doing a playthrough topic like this only heightens that aspect of me.

Anyway, all the characters are basically going to be segmented for most of the game, then I'm thinking that the events are happening concurrently. It may be possible that Victor is both the truth and a red herring. If the totem is right and Ashley could soon be attacked inside the lodge and someone is outside about to terrorize Mike/Jess and/or Matt/Emily, then they cannot be the same person obviously. When we saw the person outside of that shed (aka "Josh") the getup (sans flamethrower) looked similar to the person from a year ago, they used the same sort of killer-vision (for lack of a better term), and when the current events started with Sam arriving via bus, we saw some holding the same-looking knife in the same sort of way just to say, "Hey, this is probably the same person from last year!" I'm not overly familiar with teen/young adult slasher films, so I don't know if that technique is used often and how often from that to basically outright lie to the audience, but I'm just assuming that it is the same person for now.

As for Ashley's potential attacker, that person was wearing a completely different outfit. Unless there's a totally new theoretical character like Victor, I'm guessing it is one of the group, and you know I'm highly skeptical of Josh.
