Teach one promise at a time
The opening goals begin with movement and interaction, then ask the player to plant four seeds, watch the growth timer, harvest, sell, and spend the first coins. Each task demonstrates a promise the larger game will keep.
Short goals, visible progress
Early tasks need a clear finish and a visible reward. Progress bars above crops, coin counts, and the next highlighted action reduce uncertainty without taking control away from the player.
A tutorial that gets out of the way
After the essentials, goals branch into crafting, town relationships, discovery, and customization. The player should feel invited forward, never trapped until a checklist is complete.
