I watched intently for a few minutes kicking my head against "WTF, it has two eyes." Then gave up on reading the continuations of this.

We don't know who we are; we don't know where we are.
Each of us woke up one moment and here we were in the darkness.
We're nameless things with no memory; no knowledge of what went before,
No understanding of what is now, no knowledge of what will be.
