No. First you hide in the closet while your brother goes on a slaughterfest because he can't die until the script says he does.

When bro, the great pacifist, has killed absolutely everything in the hotel, walk out together with him through the front door, where he spontaneously drops dead for no reason at all because the script says he should.

I did love that game

Pretty sure he survived if you left through the window after killing everyone.

You meet him again later iirc, though only very briefly.

That's weird, I remember doing the opposite - he only survives if you fight it out with him. Is GP's save bugged or am I having Mandela effect?

States as such here (Spoilers, of course): [0]

Its almost 20 years ago, so i might have swapped the front door and the window. I do know for sure he becomes a killing machine if you hide in the closet instead of running away as he directs you.

That's correct. But where's the fun in that ;-)
