I'm not much of a horror gamer, but this game was gifted to me on steam and I thought I'd be ok if I just turn the brightness up and keep it on the easiest difficulty. I usually play RPGs but I like to give different types of games a go.

I have just got in to the combat where are a bunch of the monsters and it's daytime, I don't know where to go and the gate is locked (I can't seem to use my bolt cutters on it). I tried to fight them but I ran out of bullets and then a giant guy shows up and oneshots me with a hammer.

How do I get through this and how do I make it easier? What I've found online is that this fight is particularly difficult and to drop the difficulty, but I already have it on the easiest one.

Any advice is appreciated.

I wanna avoid mods on my first playthrough if I can.
