A very inconvenient place

Dear all,
I've been exploring a place I shouldn't have been exploring so early and got caught. The kind of place where poor children usually go in a normal and decent world but not in Fallen London as some of you very well know.
[Spoiler alert] I wasn't as shadowy as I wanted to be and I ended up in a very bad situation (buried alive). So far, the only options I seem to have are 1) bashing my head to the coffin until I die (or reach 8 wounds which never happened to me), and 2) reach to maximum amount of nightmares; none of the options of the Burial of the Dead are available to me now.
Would anyone have a piece of advice? Should I get totally lost in awful nightmares hoping that they would allow me to try the third option (with Burial of the Dead)?
Many thanks in advance,
Not'

Oh yes, I ended up with the horror of killing myself slowly (not quite with my song) and while that was frightful, it also cemented what a great game and story FL is! It also taught me that there's plenty of other stories to follow, so no need to rush with the ambition.

Same here. I actually kinda liked how they really managed to make this a traumatic experience, I actually felt the claustrophobia and horror of the situation quite well, so in the end I'm almost happy it happened. I think it was really good game design and writing.
But what was "funny" and is that I remembered being caught exactly as I "won" the storyline, and I even wondered if that meant that you actually had to get caught even if you did everything right. Now that I read this topic, I think it was just a joke of the universe at my expense.
