@manostion Look at the security monitor for a few seconds.

After entering the Control Room (where you get the gun), the game seems to bug out on me. The door disappears (as it's supposed to), then the window to the lever disappears (as it's supposed to, I assume), then the protagonist yells "I wanna wake up", and from that point on nothing happens and I'm eternally stuck. I tried reloading and doing different things (back out of the room, not shoot the lever, shoot the lever twice, shoot the light, shoot the wall where the lever used to be, etc.), but I can't seem to progress to the next section...

You are right, thank you for your notes! I will add that!

Thanks for the guide. Some notes I have though:
-For destroying the Creepy Soul you actually have to take mutliple pictures of it with the flash, not just one
-For the purge achievement A LOT of balls will spawn once you hit the button, and they will keep spawning for quite some time. You might think they will spawn infinitly but it's still a finite amount, just a lot of them
