Once I got outside, I tried to hook a block and it didn't latch on (it was probably too far away). I found myself falling. I think I was supposed to press R to rewind so I could try again, but the game hung on me instead.
Thank you for the feedback! You need to hold right-click for the hook, maybe that's what went wrong. We are happy to help you if you want to give it another shot!
I did hold it, because otherwise it would just have swung the scythe. I guess I didn't hold it for long enough, or did but where it pulled me to wasn't on solid ground.
