I think Mike and Josh kept themselves lost on purpose, including Mike getting rid of the map. Once Heather was mentally and physically worn down enough, Josh disappeared to the Parr house and drew Mike & Heather there with his cries, eliminating any need to convince Heather to go inside such a creepy place following all these other disturbing events. Then Mike willingly stood in the corner while Josh sacrificed Heather, Rustin Parr style, as they'd planned all along.

The Dirties is the best found footage movie I've seen since watching Blair Witch at the cinema in '99, although it's not quite horror. It's about two bullied kids making an action-comedy revenge movie at school until one of them starts to take the revenge idea seriously. Aside from great actors, believable characters and semi-improvised dialogue, what it and BWP both do right is a level of versimilitude that comes from fully embracing the rough edges of the found footage style in ways that work 'in-universe' and in real life. While things remain interesting the whole way through, on the surface scenes can frequently feel like genuine, mundane camera footage unrelated to any kind of larger story until you revisit them later on. It's a simulation of how real unprofessionally shot footage, even of exciting subjects, can frequently be confusing and boring (which a lot of people claim BWP to be). These movies are willing to take the risk of turning off half their audience by not compromising on being haphazard and badly shot, while using that style of presentation to enhance the stories they're telling. Some other FF movies I've seen play out as if the style was an afterthought and they're really regular horror films simply shot from a different perspective, which is something that the remake of Maniac does intentionally and well.
