Act 1 before 0?

[Rabbit]

Hey Steam, just bought this yesterday on sale and started playing.
I selected new game, then act 0. So it seemed like a normal start. I've gotten to the point where the ghost jumps up into your face and have no Idea what to do know. I googled it and I came across an article "Act 0 added" from 2014. So should I play 0 before 1 or not? If it sorta ruins it by answering questions and taking away the mystery element (Like playing Kingdom Hearts 358/2 before 2) then I'd definetly play 1 first.

0,1,2 is the order it is supposed to be played in. However, if you recently played the Demo, you can skip Act 0 because it is basically the same content.

I´m glad they decided to add it to the main game because once you purchase a game on Steam, the Demo button at the store page disappears, and the content becomes inaccessable.

Act 0 works like a tutorial; but I would suggest you have a look at the pdf manual as it is really good at explaining the game mechanics in a minimalistic way.

The ghost that jumped you, was it outside or in a building?
The pregnant lady who follows you from the beginning can be defeated with the phone; the next ghost encounter in the building introduces the concept of Limbo and can´t be avoided, just run towards the light.

Im only a few minutes in. First, I got the phone, saw the ghost in the camera and then headed outside, I saw my friend (Well prob. not) walk into the alley, I followed her and then I got to a dead end, when I turned around a ghost jumped in my face. Then i walked the other way and got to the playground, nothing is happening.

Ah, ok, pregnant lady.
You are stuck because you didn´t find the door to the next area yet. Explore the dead end and notice how the screen changes slightly (vignette, they call it iirc). This is a hint that something can be discovered near you. Use the phone, spot the difference.

Ok thanks, So where is the manual? I couldnt find it in the files or online.

The ghost encounter at the same place probably distracted you from noticing the hint, you may want to get rid of her first.
If you start the game again, you can see her (through the phone) waiting in the fenced area near the little shack you woke up in. The easiest approach would be to run into the small alley your friend took, then turn around and wait for the ghost. A yellow screen distortion indicates vulnerability. Taking three pictures should be enough, if she comes too close you can walk backwards and keep firing.

Manual , also accessable from the Steam Library and Store page
