The usual rules apply headshots are best, but these guys are awfully agile, and you don't have a lot of ammo. After getting your current, grisly bearings, you'll have your first actual fight in the game against a couple of Lycans.

You’ll get the LEMI handgun during the cutscene, then get dragged down into the basement. Proceed a little further into the house and open the curtain.

So, save your energy, you can't bust every barrel you see here. The bad news is it's just the dilapidated crates with the yellow tape you can break. For you Resident Evil 4 veterans: the good news is you can break crates with the knife just by interacting with them, no need to switch to it. Test out your new best friend on the crate behind you for a first aid medicine. Walk through the front door, go straight forward, and grab the knife. For right now, the only house you need to concern yourself with is the nicer one with the lantern burning out front. Most of the side houses are full of locked doors and drawers you can't open yet. Walk out of the giant hole in the wall, and follow the path. A collapsed shelf will block your path but just walk towards it, and Ethan will slip underneath. Something will start kicking up a racket upstairs, so head back up. Stroll through the house until you get to the basement and the closet at the dead end. Follow the trail until you get to a bridge leading to a run-down shack of a house. There's a trail in the snow to follow if you get turned around. Take a look at the Mission Briefing if you're curious, and then follow the only path forward. Once a long cutscene happens, you'll wake up in the snow, next to a crashed van, a dead cell phone, and an even-deader soldier. Head downstairs to the kitchen when you're ready. The Medical Checkup Report is hanging out in the next room, as well as a photo album. After the baby's tucked in, check out the laptop for a couple pages of Ethan’s Diary. Her crib's in the room at the end of the hall. When you first get control, take the wee baby Rose upstairs. It also provides some context for where you find yourself after starting the game. It says it's 80 pages, but don't panic it's only a couple of sentences per page, and it gives a really nice rundown of everything that's happened since the events of Resident Evil 7, as well as an eye-opener of a reveal when you find out who wrote this thing in the first place.

So before you even get started with the game, we highly recommend giving the Baker Incident Report a read.
