Thank you for playing the game and for the feedback. There should be an option to skip or listen to the story at the beginning when she asks you if you remember who you are. If you choose yes, then she should give you the teleportation wand and get you started. And the idea of adding it to the book is a good idea. I also plan to add a skip button even if you choose to listen to the story.
A small hint is to consider using the heart you find in the dungeon after being able to move past the pin throwing doll. How to get the heart there while being able to hold a single item at a time is a part of the challenge.
