As sales advisor IRL, example if sell you car, and 30 mins later you come back to make to me and say 'How do Start The Car?' Ive done my job wrong !!!... im afraid to say but thats exactly what happened to me on 1st go of this game (and its not only me) im looking @ the comments
This game is definitely not for everyone. If you like your games to have no grind, this game is NOT for you. If you don't want to have to think at all and want zero learning curve, this game is NOT for you. If you prefer to walk through a simple visual novel, this game is NOT for you. However, if you like sandbox games and prefer to have some challenge when playing and are willing to take a bit of time to learn the mechanics of the game, this is one of the best sandbox games out there. My advice to anyone willing to give it a try is to spend a few minutes studying the initial instructions, then just play it for a while to learn what works and what doesn't. Once you've become more comfortable with it, start a new game.
One thing I've learned from reading comments from various game pages is that no one game is ever going to make everyone happy, so if you don't like a particular game because it is a sandbox (or alternatively, VN), or because it has too much (not enough) grind, just move on to another game. There is quite a wide variety available on this site and others.
