Basic gameplay[]

In another option, they can add the player character's name[1]. When done, they can jump into the game world and learn the tricks of survival with the in-game Tutorial.

Tips and tricks[]
- Try to prioritize capturing many different Pals over multiples of the same one. Each Pal has unique abilities and labour skills to help you in your Base.
- Build your base near different kind of resources. Your Pals will gather them for you.
- Upgrade your base by doing the missions located in your Palbox.
- Craft a stone pickaxe so you can make Pal Spheres instead of relying on picking random ones off the ground and capture more Pals.
- Forage for food and build a berry plantation as soon as you are able. Eat regularly and keep your Pals fed to heal up.
- If any of your Pals die, put them into a Palbox. They will recover their health over time.
- Build a campfire and craft clothes and a torch to avoid being cold and gradually losing your health during the night.
