Ian: look down outside. Flashlight fell down, into darkness.
Do you see ground, or there is only darkness?

If you can't get it - try to open door/window to living room.

Take a good look around (although I have my doubts that you'll find anything new). If you find nothing try opening the door.

It's very subtle, but his flashlight fell when he landed (just in case anyone missed that)

Not really , but one could argue that Ian looks a little bit like Maddox.

Well Ian is fucked IMO.

Cons:
No flashlight.
Still need to retrieve steel bar + rope by pulling on it before monster notices. If it hasn't already.
No flashlight.
Need a way to get inside the apartment floor, but do not have steel bar to aid our way in w/o breaking in, which would alert the monster(s) to our presence on the balcony, where we are cornered and GAME OVER.
NO FLASHLIGHT!

Pros:
Ian is able to breathe the darkness somehow w/o dying. Sure he could still die from it after prolonged exposure, but it's like diving into water, I think. After being out of it for a random amount of time, he can dive back in no problem.
He can still pull on the rope to get back the steel bar and rope, so we don't lose them permanently!
The sliding glass wall can be jimmied open by the keys, which we still have! Avoiding breaking the glass to get in, which not only poses hazards for Ian's feet, but alerts the monsters to our presence, and then WE DIE!

...

So what now? Where do we go from here?
I'd say to have Ian get his bearings while he can, try to jimmy open the sliding balcony door with his keys, and sneak inside.

Really? I doesn't looks like Maddox.

No way he looks like Maddox x3

And BEAST looks and plays too differently from A'LLUKIN to warrant any reasonable comparison. Don't worry about it I am interested in seeing where this story is going.

As expected, he sees only black, in every direction (he can't even see his room's window now, since the light from his room has dissapeared). This is the second floor, so he knows the ground is near, but the darkness is too dense to see it.

Not even that, Ian is afraid... the rope is too high for him to reach, even if he gets on the fence. So yeah, he's fucked :/

But he has to continue anyhow.

Ian tries to open the balcony door... it isn't locked, so he can enter without much trouble.

I wonder... Is it safe to turn on light?..
(in PC horror games characters try to stay in full dark because monsters can find them by light...)

Ian: Describe room and its interior.

Check behind and inside the sofa.

Ian: LOOK BEHIND YOU!

Also check below the carpet.

Check what's in front of you.
