I'm making a game called They Live Inside The Walls that is basically a first-person minesweeper horror roguelite, and right now I'm trying to address what I think is one of the biggest problems with the original minesweeper: it doesn't teach the player how to play, making the learning curve very steep for new players.

So I'm making a tutorial with not only the purpose of teaching the mechanics, but also giving the player some tools to start playing without being frustrated, while they learn more complex patterns.

I tried to have the same approach that I would have in explaining the game to a friend that never played before, but this is where I would need your help: are there some other cases that you would show to the player? Do you think that the explanation is easy to understand?

I tried to hold the hand of the player less and less while going on in the tutorial, do you think I balanced it right?

Any feedback is greatly appreciated.
