Hello you're meant to explore first in the beginning for items etc. before triggering the first enemy when you finish the bathtub puzzle, you can hide ( but don't be seen while entering a hide location or you will be dragged out ) and you can out run the enemies also since you run faster then them. Thanks for your feedback hope you keep trying and finish it. I will consider maybe do another update and tweak things further. Thanks. *EDIT* Please redownload the game as v1.3 has just been released! Changelog available here: https://azagamestudio.itch.io/bleakhour/devlog/1023176/update-v13-is-now-live
