Chapter 1: Booting up the game.
Okay, so I'm guessing you're a Hololive fan correct?
So at least you know how to play games?
If you said no then that's a skill issue, luckily this guide is here to "guide" you.
If you said yes then good for you.
So now for the step-by-step guide to show you what to do.

Step 1: Wait for the logos to be finished. (You can hit a key if you want to skip them)
Step 2: Do you see the text saying "Press any key to continue"? Well you're now in the title screen, and pressing any key in your keyboard will send you to the main menu.
Step 3: Once you're in the main menu, you will see 6 buttons which you can select using the WASD keys, rather than the arrow keys. This is a quirky thing you gonna have to get used to after playing Holocure, which uses the arrow keys.
Step 4: Select "Training"
Step 5: You will see 3 options: Training Room, Tutorial, and Command list. Select "Tutorial"
Step 6: You will now be in a menu consisting of many options. Just choose "Basic Movement" and move on.
Step 7: Since this is a guide and I'm a crazy person I'm just gonna put the ENTIRE TUTORIAL on the next chapter.
