What to study

The panel abandons the grid entirely: a single line enters at the bottom dot and branches like a tree, and the puzzle is the branching itself. Placed as a freestanding sign among pink orchard trees, it also shows how the game's UI borrows the landscape's palette, lime green against gold grass, so the interface never looks pasted onto the world. The thin white border around the image is the trailer's montage framing, not game UI. Frame at about 0:17 in the Release Date Trailer (Steam).
