This is a simple step-by-step written guide meant to walk you through the game with minimal exposition or story details. I strongly suggest consulting it only if you are stuck, or are collecting remaining achivements.

In the first scene of the game you are controlling a man in an attic. The way onward is fairly straightforwards and meant to teach you the simple controls of the game:
Use the rope, then the chair.
Use the rafters overhead.
Use the chair three times to finish the prologue.
