Your adventure begins in your crib. After a brief interaction with your mother, you'll be placed back in your crib. This initial segment serves as a tutorial for basic movement and interaction. Once you're able to move freely, explore your room. You'll soon encounter Teddy, who will become your constant companion. He's crucial for providing light and comfort in dark areas. After a unsettling event, you'll find yourself in a much darker, more distorted version of your house.
Your primary objective in this chapter is to follow Teddy and understand the basic mechanics of the game. You'll learn to crawl under furniture, climb on objects, and use Teddy's light. The atmosphere quickly shifts from cozy to eerie, setting the tone for the rest of the game. Don't be afraid to explore every nook and cranny, as some early environmental clues can be found even in this introductory phase. The chapter culminates in a significant narrative event that propels you into the core mystery.
