Is it a bug

So I am playing evil within 1 at chapter 6 so far okay but in this chapter i died a couple of times in the room I saw some YouTube video to complete that room but I don't know what's happening in all those video after killing the first two enemies the next three enemies attack Sebastian but in my game I don't know why the zombies are attacking Joseph even if I am at their front I don't know what's happening if somebody can help so I can't use the circle the room strategy because they are not even attacking Sebastian

Often the haunted will not be hard coded to attack Sebastian if he is with Joseph. Who they go after can be multiple reasons like your and Joseph's health, camera and player angles & position, random timers etc. I have not reverse engineered haunted logic but those sort of metrics are used by some boss logic when Sebastian is alone.

I am trying to work out where you are...are you still in the upstairs room, downstairs room, or in the next fort section?

I am in the upstairs room actually I am able to complete it with a bit of different strat and now I am in downstairs but i kind of got it I will complete it later but I still want to know why that bug is happening because I saw many videos about this section to see none of them have any bug like that

I don't think you are witnessing a bug. You have to assume the haunted will go for Joseph and I tend to shoot them with the hand gun as soon as they climb into the room to make sure they chase Sebastian. If the game has decided to chose Joseph as the target for a haunted, you being closer won't change that until you attack them.

Interesting but there any reason why this is happening in my game

Hard to say. There are a lot of variables at play. I tend to have attacked all 3 before they even climb in, so it's a long time since all 3 have come into the room - for me - without Sebastian being the main target. Maybe I'll take a look at the code when I have time.

Maybe their aggro bugged? You could try reloading the chekpoint, or craft those flashbangs from the bow so you have time to kill them

A question does reloading a chapter basically resets all the death happend in that chapter just asking

I was recently wondering this myself, about the main campaign AND the DLCs.
