I'M STUCK!!!

[ToxicChocolate]

I'm at the part in the game where you're in a prison room with a bunch of inmates in the asylum (looking for another way to get the shower room).
There's a section where you climb over a ledge then you have to jump to the next ledge. I have tried so many times to catch the edge but i keep falling to the ground. HELP PLEASE!

I'm stuck at this exact same part....I've seen videos of people grabbing the ledge so I know that's what you're supposed to do.

I think you unwillingly got stuck the same way I did. You can actually get stuck by catching on the ledge that is facing the platform you need to reach. Apparently you aren't supposed to be able to shimy from your hands there in the first place, but the game still allows you and you get stuck. No wonder the prompt to jump made no sense.

In any case, in that very room, when you enter it, to your left you'll see a table of sorts. Well jump on that and then you will be in range of jumping onto a platform. Once you get on top of it, you can follow it and you'll have to shimmy against the wall past the cell, and then you'll get the tutorial tip that says you can jump from there.

Hope this helps, I was super pissed myself. They should just prevent the character from being to grab on that ledge from the ground floor.

Is it the area, where on lower lever some inmate in a straight-jacket calmly follows you around? If so, there's like some stuff (I think a turned over or piled-up beds) that you can climb on to get up to the next level. Then just follow along the areas you're able to go from there. If I remember correctly, there's a ledge you may have to slowly walk-along... some crazy inmate may grab you.. shake him loose.. then get to the other side.. there's a cell you go through, some inmate hiding under a bed, you can open the door to exit that cell, but watch your step

Ok I had this problem and here is how I did it. On the ledge, press and 'HOLD' [Forward] + [Sprint] then [Jump] (without releasing any keys). Then keep on holding those 3 keys down. I don't know whether it was luck or this is the technique, but reply if it helped you.

(I am talking about the part where a blind guy in a straight jacket follows you and you have to climb onto the next floor by climbing onto a bed and a guy in wheelchair/chair jumps at you and another guy knocks him over and you go to a ledge, hugging the wall.)

Nice necropost there, mate.
