Getting started with the tutorial
Step
When you first load in, a tutorial teaches you how to make and serve cotton candy. Completing it earns the Introduction Completed badge and signals that you are ready to take on real shifts. The game recommends headphones and maximum graphics settings so the horror atmosphere lands the way the developers intended.
- Put on headphones the sound design is a major part of the experience.
- Set graphics to max the developers recommend both for full immersion.
- Follow every tutorial prompt the Introduction Completed badge only drops once you have worked through the full preparation lesson.
