Getting Started in Konekomi Castle

## Before You Start
Since the game was funded via Kickstarter and no specific release date has been confirmed, check current Steam or Discord updates for the latest status before expecting an imminent launch.
This is confirmed as a choose-your-own-adventure experience with real replayability -- go in expecting your specific choices, relationships, and exploration to genuinely shape which of multiple endings you reach.
## Building Relationships With the Konekomi
Since each named Konekomi has their own personality along with existing rivalries and friendships, pay attention to how they relate to each other, not just to you -- becoming part of those existing dynamics is confirmed as a real part of the experience.
## Exploring Thoroughly
Since the castle's secrets are confirmed to be locked behind keycard doors, vents, and unmarked teleporters, budget real time for thorough exploration rather than expecting a straightforward, linear path through the castle.
## Common Mistakes
* Assuming a single playthrough shows you everything -- multiple confirmed endings and a new item gained per ending mean genuine replay value is built into the design.
* Treating every Konekomi identically -- each is confirmed to have a distinct personality, and some are confirmed to be hostile or exploitative rather than friendly.
