** Chapter 4: Rather than kill Angel's parents or take them with you, you can leave them at the mall with enough food to last them. However, the mall is revealed to have collapsed in Chapter 15, and Angel is devastated, causing you to lose morale.
** Chapter 12: Rather than shoot Eli or fruitlessly try to reason with him, you can knock him out instead. Eli won't call you out for trying to shoot him or blame himself for trying to strangle you, but choosing this option requires having a Nerve Score of 70 or more.

When Trent asks why he's the only one not being spared, Ash retorts that the other traitors only betrayed them once, while Trent betrayed them ''twice''.

** Ash's Zombie Killer rank is tied to certain choices, unlike the original. For example, having a rank of "Slayer" or higher enables you to use Angel's flamethrower in Chapter 14 without having to pay diamonds.

--> '''Dirk:''' You left Troy, your ''best friend since childhood'' dangling from a rooftop so you could play hide-and-seek with a child! ''(if Ash chose to look for May instead of help Troy in Chapter 14)''
** Mack, Darren, and Walt will only sacrifice themselves in Chapter 19 if the FinalBattle is going poorly. If it's going well, they will fight the zombies valiantly without needing to perform a HeroicSacrifice.

** The [[SanityMeter Nerve Score]] from ''It Lives'' is added. Certain choices require Ash to have a high enough Nerve Score to access them, and this replaces some diamond choices (for example, the diamond choice in Chapter 4 to set off Angel's explosive trap requires Ash to have a Nerve Score of at least 50). Conversely, bad choices are automatically grayed out if Ash's Nerve Score is high enough (for example, the "get the hell out of here" choice during the graveyard fight in Chapter 11). Most of the [[SadisticChoice Sadistic Choices]] affect the Nerve Score in some way.
** Ash has more customization options, and can also be customized as non-binary.
** You can lose relationship points with characters as well as gaining them. Having a low relationship with a character can lead to disaster. Here are a few choices that ''greatly'' reduce a character's relationship score:
*** Killing Angel's parents in Chapter 4.
*** Leaving Shannon to the zombie in Chapter 8 ''and'' telling her to [[QuitYourWhining stop moping]] after she's traumatized by the incident (by contrast, helping Minna and then telling Shannon that you couldn't be in two places at once and that you're sorry won't negatively impact the relationship).
*** Getting angry at Troy for his FakeDefector gambit in Chapter 11, even though he did it to help you escape.
*** Shooting Eli in Chapter 12 (and then refusing to apologize in Chapter 13, with Ash saying IDidWhatIHadToDo).
** Sledge has her own CGI cutscene of rescuing the gang from the Zombie Hive in Chapter 17 (she's also the one carrying the shotgun instead of Knuckles), and Brynn has her own CGI cutscene of sacrificing herself to kill the Zombie Queen in the final chapter.

* SadisticChoice: Just like the original, with two differences:
** Some of the choices from the original have a [[TakeAThirdOption third option]], represented by scales in equal positions. However, some third options are tricky; they might ''seem'' better than either of the choices presented, but will ultimately turn out to be ''worse''.
