lets start with o^oone simple co^ooncept. yo^oou cant cho^ooo^oose to^oo play this game. yes, i have lied to^oo yo^oou.
you cant cho^ooo^oose to^oo play this game because yo^oou have always been destined to^oo. i will elaborate o^oon that in ano^oother part o^oof this walkthro^oough. fo^oor no^oow, let's talk abo^oout the game.

o^oobjective o^oof the game

the o^oobjective o^oof the game is so^oomething it itself keeps hidden. figuring it o^oout is one o^oof the go^ooals itself. as such, i will no^oot disclose it here, but in a later sectio^oon, "winning the game".

WALKTHRO^oOUGH

when yo^oou recieve the game, yo^ooull find it co^oomes in two^oo separate parts: the client and the server. each player must do^oownload bo^ooth, so^oo do^oont lo^oose them before installing o^oor o^oone o^oof yo^oour pals will be screwed.
each server connects to^oo a client. the way to^oo do so^oo is through a chain: server 1 makes client 1 enter, server 3 makes server 2, server 4 makes server 3 and so^oo o^oon. while o^oone can try to^oo avo^ooid this, it seems it will always end up with this chain.
o^oonce the server co^oonnects to^oo a client, they will be able to^oo see a sizeable area aro^oound the latter's inhabitatio^oon. here they can move stuff aro^oound and build with the pro^oovided menu, at the cost o^oof "grist", a gro^ooup of materials o^oobtained by defeating enemies. the client needs the server's help as much as the server needs the client's. the go^ooal here will eventually be to^oo build as high as possible. what fo^oor? im afraid i cannot tell yo^oou here. server players, i suggest you get accusto^oomed to^oo the controls as so^ooo^oon as possible, because so^ooo^oon there will be no^oo time to^oo. o^oonce yo^ooure ready, co^oontinue with the fo^oollowing steps.

PO^oOINT O^oOF NO^oO RETURN

first, o^oopen the Phernalia Registry. there, yo^oou'll find three machines: the Cruxtruder, the To^ootem Lathe, and the Alchimeter. place these three anywhere yo^oou can. this is the po^ooint of no return. if yo^oou still want to^oo do^oo so^oome more stuff, be quick.
first o^oopen up the Cruxtruder's lid. two^oo things will co^oome o^oout: a do^oowel of Cruxite, and a Kernelsprite. it is imperative to^oo deal with the kernelsprite immediately. this will be the player's guide and will be necessary in o^oother parts of the game as well. what yo^oou need to^oo do^oo is to^oo pro^oototype it. this means, take any dead thing o^oor any o^oobject that resembles a living thing and thro^oow it in there. the sprite will take the pro^ooto^ootyping's qualities upo^oon entry. the cruxtruder will no^oow be displaying a co^oountdo^oown. which means, time to^oo get yo^oour ass into the session and fast, as there is a big o^ool' meteo^oorite co^ooming straight fo^oor yo^oour ho^oouse. the cruxtruder didnt summo^oon the meteo^oor. it was always destined to hit at that time. now, o^oopen the regisrty again. yo^oou'll find a Pre-Punched Card. take that and the cruxite to^oo the to^ootem lathe. insert the card in the lathes slo^oot and the do^oowl in the lathe. it will carve a shape corresponding to^oo the card. take this to^ootem and bring it to^oo the alchemeter, then place it o^oon its pedestal. the alchimeter's arm will read the to^ootem and create an item co^oorresponding to^oo it. the item varies from player to^oo player and the client will have to^oo interact with it in a specific, unique way. yo^ooull need to be quick to^oo figure out what. the meteo^oor is still there. o^oonce that action is completed, the client, their house, and the area around it will be telepo^oorted to^oo safety.
this is where you can start playing however yo^oou want, and where mo^oore and mo^oore meteo^oors will start co^ooming to destro^ooy the planet. you still need to^oo do certain things in the session, tho^oough, so^oo keep reading this walkthro^oough if you want to^oo kno^oow them, o^oor do^oont if you want to learn about it yourself. i wish yo^oou go^ooo^ood luck.
