I managed to get out! I dont remember much of how exactly I did it. I just thought of the fog as a confined space. When you get to the part where you have the choice to click North, East, South, or West, you’re in the middle of the fog. Pick a direction to find items you need to advance. I believe the gate to leave the area is in the East but you have to find the key first. That’s all I got for ya.
