REF: "I Am Alive" PC version (Steam download)

I am in a chain link fenced-in area, with a pit at one end and a
padlocked gate at the other end.

When I approached the gate I got a dialog about needing something to
pry open the gate. Immediately after a guy threatened me from the pit
area. Pulled my gun and ended up pushing him into the pit. Picked up
the machete he dropped.

When I approached the gate again I got the screen-hint to use the
[Action] key to open the gate. When I did so, got another screen-hint
to use the mouse [LMB].

Problem, when I did use [LMB] the game showed me using the machete to
pry open the gate BUT THE GATE DID NOT OPEN.

Tried several times, same result, gate would not open. Even tried
reloading checkpoint and restarting the episode.


HELP. Any ideas?

You likely figured it out already, but you need to rapidly, repeatedly
click the mouse, until the HUD indicator turns green. Similarly when
'struggling' with enemies. I'm a few hours in, and generally enjoying it.

Maybe you noticed that the UI Hint has the LMB rapidly flashing ?? Try
mimicking persistently.
