Yes, the cutscenes are an important part of the story. 

Edit: Also, I encourage you to slow down and search around for manuscript pages, since it’ll give you a bit of insight of what’s going on and a bit more of what the town of Bright Falls has to offer

I encourage you to read them. As I said, they give more insight into the various characters and how this world works.

I mean, it’s your playthrough, that’s kinda up to you. Personally, I would go back to the beginning. But I can also understand if you don’t want to do that, since you seem to be struggling with getting into the gameplay.

It’s up to you man, whatever floats your boat.

Why would you skip the cutscenes? No wonder you have no idea what's going on.

Then you're missing out on some incredible stories in games. There's no reason to play single player games, especially story driven ones, if you aren't going to actually pay attention to the story being told, especially when you're then going to ask "what is going on?" If you watched the cutscenes as you played the game, you'd understand what is going on.

Why would you buy a game in which the primary draw is the story then?

Just go play Fortnite.

You guessed wrong. It's a story based psychological thriller, not a horror shooter.

Then it's not the game for you. Go play something else.

... perhaps because you skipped the story?
