Your first evening on Idyll
You set out across Idyll as a Pathfinder. The first catch teaches you the rhythm — get close, throw an Aniipod, time it — and soon you are checking every pond and hillside, because different Aniimo appear with the weather and the hour. Then you Twine for the first time: you take your Aniimo’s shape and cross water or sky you could not cross on foot. By the end of the evening you have a small team, a first evolution in sight, and an RV parked at a campsite where other players wander by.
