·Multi-source verified (45/45)

You will awaken on a small, rocky beach. Ahead of you, a path leads up towards a more defined coastline. Your first objective is simply to walk forward. As you begin to move, the narrator will deliver his first lines, setting the tone for the entire experience. There are no hidden items or specific interactions here; just follow the natural path. Look out for the subtle environmental details, such as the barnacles on the rocks and the distant sound of waves. The game encourages a slow, deliberate pace, so resist the urge to sprint through this initial area. Let the atmosphere wash over you.
