What to study

The starting state is deliberately sparse: four labeled top panels (Coins, Resources, Villagers, Progression) carry the whole economy at a glance, while the bottom holds only time controls and a four-icon dock led by Build. Nothing else competes for attention until the player paints their first zones, so the first decision the interface asks for is where the village goes, not which menu to open. Frame at about 0:24 in the Release Date and Demo Trailer (Steam).
