Sometimes Edward needs to jump from cable to cable. 

To pull this off, swing Edward away from the cable you want to 
reach, then swing Edward toward it and hit the release button 
at the end of the swing. Edward will jump and automatically 
grab the next cable. You can repeat this move when jumping 
from a cable to a nearby ledge. Swing away from your target 
ledge so you can rush toward it with momentum. Jump at the 
end of the swing and Edward will release, landing on the ledge.

When Edward 
wakes at the 
beginning of 
his evening 
descent into 
madness, he 
has absolutely 

nothing but the clothes on his back. He must scavenge to 
survive. While exploring, be on the lookout for anything that 
can help. When Edward is close to an object he can interact 
with, a circle with the object appears at the bottom of the 
screen with the action button highlighted. Pressing the action 
button picks up the item. If it is an object you can keep, like 
bullets, it’s automatically added to your personal inventory. But 
if it’s something to hold, like a chair or a bat, Edward holds it 
until you either drop it or it’s knocked out of his hands. (And be 
ready for that—some of the monsters hit so hard you’ll swear 
you can hear Edward’s teeth rattle.)

 

Once 

Edward picks up 
an object he can 
hold, you can 
manipulate it with 
the right control 
stick. Think of the 
right control stick as puppet strings attached to Edward’s hands. 
Say you have a fi re extinguisher in your hands and you need 
to get through a locked door. You can use the extinguisher to 
bash through the door by pulling the right control stick toward 
you to rear back, and then press forward on it to slam the 
extinguisher against the door. A few solid swings are enough to 
bash the door down.

 

Experimenting with objects is the only way to get out 

of this city alive. Every object has a function. Some objects are 
essential, such as fi re extinguishers. As you encounter different 
objects, you will discover personal preferences or see new ways 
to use the object to your advantage. Here’s a collection of 
things to try out as you push toward the park:
