Befriend the rat, and name him Sergeant Sniffles.

You miss the rat, and mourn his passing. Poor Sergeant Sniffles.

Find and equip a torch (Didn't you mention one?) as a weapon, then set fire to the office room. After that, or if I you can't find the torch, find and kill the rat.

You try to reach around in the darkness for where the torch was on the wall before it went out, but you instead stub your toe, step on the rat, the rat bites you, ouch ouch ouch. You slam your shit bucket into the rat and kill it in retaliation. What do you do?

Equip the map in the other room. Then call out towards the North to see if anyone will respond. Then consult the Helix Fossil.

You pull out the map, you can't see anything on it because it's pitch black in here right now. You call out north, but you get no response, or at least, the whispering doesn't seem to change. You do not have a helix fossil and you're pretty sure such a thing isn't in this game. The rat has moved away from your feet. What do you do?

Wait and accept what happens.

You just stand there and feel things crawling over your feet but eventually it stops. Then there's something that feels like a slight tickling and you realize that it's probably just a rat smelling you. That's not that bad. What do you do?

Search the desk for goodies. I like searching desks.

As you move towards the desk, the torch suddenly goes out and you can't see shit. You feel something crawling around on your feet. What do you do?

Resist the urge to shout and listen quietly to the whispering.

You are unable to discern what is being said, or what the source of the speaking is. It's probably fine. What do you do?

Head south, and continue south at the intersection.

Surely going backwards south the entire way is a good idea, so you do this. Eventually you find that your feet are out of the crawlspace! As you continue south you crawl out and find yourself in a small chamber. There is single torch dimly lighting the room, and another desk with papers and quills and ink. A private office that was inconvenient to get into? Probably important. You hear something that sounds like a distant whisper. You are alone. What do you do?

While I know we should probably finish exploring backwards...Onward!Crawl North.

You turn and crawl north! However, eventually you just reach a dead end. Before you, unlike the last time you bumped your head, is a wooden surface. You're reasonably sure there is a room on the other side, but you can't possibly get in there right now. What do you do?

Crawl through the crawlspace

You begin to shove yourself into the crawlspace and wow you can't see shit. It's fine though. You keep crawling along until you bump into a wall in front of you. It seems to be an intersection, you can go north or south, or you can go backwards to the west. What do you do?

Head back to the office to grab the map and the paper/photo that we believe to be us.

You take the map out of its frame, and place it in your inventory. It's a pretty big map, but it fits, because of reasons. You also stash away the papers on yourself. What do you do?
