Escaping the Pathology
After starting a new game, you’ll see the protagonist wake up on a stretcher in a dark hospital. As soon as the cutscene ends, there will be a monster in the room.
Right now, there’s no way to fight the entity. So use the sprint button and run away from it. These monsters are pretty slow, and as long as you keep sprinting, they can’t hit you.
There’s a Bloody Finger and a Health Drink that you can find in the room. The Health Drink is an optional healing consumable, but the Bloody Finger is an important quest item.
Make sure you grab the Bloody Finger and run out the door.
Keep running along the passage. You’ll see another entity near a barred section. Turn right to head into the passage before it.
Weave past the stretchers that pop out from the freezers and run up the stairs at the end of the passage. Head through the door to reach the 1st Floor Hallway.
Finding a Flashlight
After arriving at the 1st Floor Hallway, go left first. You’ll reach a section that’s too dark to see. You’ll need a Flashlight to progress.
Return to the door to Pathology (where you came from), and you’ll see a path that heads to the right. Follow this path.
The first door on the right is locked. The second door leads to the Storage. Go inside the Storage, where you’ll find the Intensive Care Key. Pick it up.
Return to the Hallway and continue down the passage. You’ll see an entity standing in front of a vending machine. It hasn’t seen you yet. So crouch down and move forward.
Approach the monster and take a sharp right, along the passage without it noticing you.
You’ll see three doors on your left. The first one on the left leads to Toilet M and the second one leads to Toilet F. The wooden door straight ahead leads to a Director’s Office.
The Director’s Office serves as a safe room in the game, where you can save your progress.
Head into Toilet M first. You’ll find a Health Drink consumable in a blue cabinet.
Return to the hallway and go into Toilet F next. You’ll find a Flashlight in one of the stalls. Pick it up.
You can now turn your Flashlight on to see in dark places.
When you return to the Hallway, you’ll notice that the entity is gone. Head into the Director’s Office through the wooden door.
Pick up the Health Drink from the corner of the room and use the music player to save your progress before heading back out.
Reaching the Intensive Care Unit
When you’re back at the Hallway, run back to the dark area that you saw earlier, past the door to Pathology. You’ll see that there’s a passage past the vending machine, but there are wooden planks blocking the path ahead. This leads to the Intensive Care Unit.
Use your Flashlight and walk forward along the dark hall. You’ll spot a door on your left. This leads you to the Service Room.
Continue forward and interact with the pipe on the wall to break it off and collect your first weapon.
There’s also a Self Defence Manual (note) nearby that you can pick up.
Exit the Service Room and run back to the passage past the vending machine. You’ll be attacked by an entity. But this time you’ve got the tools to fight it off.
After defeating the monster, head toward the wooden barricade and break it open using the pipe.
Use the ICU Key you found in the Storage to unlock the door up ahead and go in.
The Intensive Care Unit
The door takes you to the damp, dark hallway of the ICU. Turn your Flashlight on and continue along the passage to the left.
Continue forward till you spot a door on your left with a locked with a fingerprint reader. You can unlock it right now.
Turn right to spot another door. Head through it to reach Room 2B.
There’s already an entity in the large room. Take it down.
Once it’s down, check the bed in the far-right corner. You’ll find a Gold Coin. Pick it up. There’s also a Health Drink here that you can pick up.
Return to the ICU hallway and follow the passage to the end. You’ll see a teddy bear on the ground up ahead. Take the door to the right to enter Room 1B.
There’s a Survival Tips document on a bed on the left that you can pick up. Cross the bridge to find another Health Drink.
Finding the Entrance Key
Work your way back to the vending machine. Use the Gold Coin found in Room 2B from your inventory when standing near the vending machine.
You’ll get a Water Bottle. Combine the Bloody Finger from your inventory with the Water Bottle to get Clean Finger.
Go into the ICU and return to the door with the fingerprint reader. Use the Clean Finger to unlock the door and head inside.
This takes you to the Office. There are two entities in the area. But you can sneak up behind the first one and take it down with a surprise attack.
The second one comes out from a small room up ahead. Take it down as well.
Head into the small room where the second monster came from and pick up the Entrance Key that’s on the table
Go to the far end of the office to spot another door. This takes you back to the 1st Floor Hallway near the vending machine.
Walk to the dark section of the 1st Floor Hallway where you found the Service Room. Instead of heading into the Service Room, follow the passage to the end. There’s a large double door up ahead.
Use the Entrance Key to open the door and escape the hospital. This triggers a short cutscene.
The Real World
As the cutscene plays out, you’ll learn that you’re not playing as the character of the video game, but rather as a streamer named LunattiCreeps who’s streaming the game.
After the cutscene, take a few steps forward. You’ll get a text on your phone from ChromaDev, the developer of the game that you were playing. You’ll get some more texts that you can read through to advance the story.
When you’re done, head into the toilet and interact with the tub to take a bath.
Interact with the bed next to go to bed.
When you wake up, you’ll see something new on the TV about how C-Safe has eased their protective measures to contain Corruption in the densely populated areas.
Once the TV segment ends, interact with the PC. You’ll get some more texts. When the game screen turns on, press R2/RT on your controller to start the next chapter.
