A moment of calm
The game begins in the hotel lobby stationed bottom-left of the screen. A luggage bag appears on the reception desk. Hostile NPCs and mobile environmental objects such as the elevator start moving. Player is give ncontrol of the main character. However the timer does not begin the countdown until the player picks up the first luggage. This moment of peace is there to give the player some time to take a good look at the level, take notice of the enemies and obstacles he's about to face and plan his route a bit ahead before plunging into frantic action.
>>Producer comments: Should there be some kind of indicator to take bag to start timer? like ghost yelling where is my bags?! Don't make me angry you punk.

The uses the movement keys to direct Winston to the luggage. As soon as Winston touches the luggage it disappears from the game environment and appears in the item slot in HUD. The player is now carrying the luggage. At the same time a big white arrow appears above the door the player is to take the item he's now carrying.
The color of the item always defines the color of the door the player is to take the item. For example if the briefcase is red the arrow appears above a red door.
