The first few minutes of Hapax, I think I need a new approach. Help?

Makes sense to not have players chose their character if they don't know much about who they are and their history. I feel it would go against that sense of mystery

Some games pick it randomly which is kinda interesting. You just assume your character is the only character, and then in someone else's video you see the opposite naughtiness's shadow.

I think The Witness and Obduction are examples.
