Grappling Hook help Thread - Residue

I'm having trouble using the grappling hook. I'm stuck very early on in the game where we meet Nikolai for the first time. I'm at the point where Nikolai swings up to some fishing nets, but how does he jump/grapple across to the next roof? When I let the grappling hook go (space bar), he just drops to the ground. Help needed as I've hardly played this game at all.

Hello Corelliz!
Sorry to hear that you're stuck. Let's see if I can explain it.
Once the hook has attached itself to the fishing nets, you can let go of SPACE. Then UP should cause you to leave the ground, enabling you to swing to the sides with LEFT/RIGHT.
As long as you get close enough to the edge, even if you're a bit below it, Nikolai will grab the edge and climb up as long as you keep pressing (in this case) RIGHT.
Once you've climbed up on the other side, pressing SPACE will cause you to remove the hook behind you so that you can move on unhindered.

I hope that helps a little. Don't hesitate to tell me if it doesn't, and I'll try to explain it better.
Hope you'll like the rest of the game and thanks for playing!

Thanks - that helped a lot. I didn't realise you could drop down the rope and swing left and right. Seems obvious now I'm enjoying your game so far, btw.

Yeah, sorry about that. Really glad to hear that solved it and that you're liking the game!
