New to the island
The release and demo pages answer what you can play today, where to get it and which platform is confirmed. Read the save-transfer guide before removing a demo installation or starting again merely because the final game is approaching.
Then use the beginner guide as a reading path. It prioritizes the few mechanics that can change your first session: map access, the clock’s pauses, optional music mastery and the current help options. It does not assume that you have already played a farming game.
Look up a system; keep its limits in view
The magic, garden and university chapters connect each announced system to the best available official explanation. Database pages distinguish a confirmed feature from a complete list of its contents. Knowing that fishing exists is not the same thing as knowing every fish’s location.
For questions tied to a patch, start with Updates. The dated impact notes point back to the affected guide. If the wording in an older video differs from the current page, compare the build and the source date before applying its instructions.
