explanation for the "survive" path of Decay?

[specty]

anyone know what choices lead to the "survive" path? I just got it and it feels like a "generic" path until the next chapter, considering there are 2 other endings with names like "Shots and Such" or "Deadest of Ends." (Altho Deadest of Ends already implies you've made so many bad choices the story can't even progress)

Be "killed" by andrew in chapter 2.

For 'Shots and suchs'

Heavy spolier, obviously. Also, it's the dubious route equivalent of the Decay branch, so you don't want that stuff, avoid it.

in chapter 2 :
- don't mag dump the killer in the parc, so Ashley has ammo left.
- Follow decay route normally ( Ashley don't trust Andrew alone with their parents)
- in the dream, have Ashley shoot Andrew. it's important to give her PTSD so she doesn't pull the trigger when the times comes to


In chapter 3 :
- find the ring in the first part of the forest (when you get away from the cops. It's on a section where you have to push rocks away from a path between trees instead of following some footprints)
- Don't agree to be called Andy when she threaten you
- Don't leave a whitness in the forest ( not sure about that one )
- chase her in the world-between, but when she is in a dead end, don't try to catch her. She'll pull her gun on you, you'll call for bluff, and has she got traumatised from killing Andrew in her dream, she won't shoot.
- Aside from joke screw up endings, you're pretty set foward by that point.
- Just take back the gun after.... dubious actions... and go eat breakfirst. I didn't steal the trinket, IDK if that matters
- Grab the ring on your path (you'll step on it by the fridge)
- When comes the choice of cleaver or gun, andrew will add the ring in the choice. Guess where the randomness lands =p

....

Happy end...? ... I guess ? lol

appreciate the thorough explanation! Guess I gotta find a save before I killed the hitman, because I have no idea which choices some of my saves have.
