Tutorial

The first time you join, the game sends you to a short tutorial in a school building before you ever see the Lobby. It walks you through every core idea one at a time. You can't fail it, there's no timer, and you play it on your own server.

What you learn

  1. Collect and deliver. Bring three books from the library to the table: the core loop in miniature.
  2. Getting distracted. A big robot, the Final Boss Fight, catches you on purpose and holds you for 10 seconds, so you see what distraction looks like from the inside.
  3. Meditation. A meditation spot lights up. Sit on it until you have 3 Focus stacks, then let the robot try again and watch how much slower its meter fills. See Meditation.
  4. Gadgets. You're handed a Grenade. Aim it at the robot and throw; if you miss, you get another. The card then explains where gadgets come from.
  5. Rescue. Two teammate dummies are locked in a distraction room. Open the latch and solve the rescue puzzle to free them.
  6. The shop. Open the shop to see how classes are bought, then you're sent to the Lobby.
