I made a new account today after remembering this game existed! I played it for less than a month at least 6 years ago, and didn't have any idea what I was doing then. I can't say I'm doing any better now, either. I've heard your deer grows up after a few months, so until then you'll be a fawn. But how to customize or what to do in this strange world, I've no idea.
Without spoilers, I suppose, a couple tips to point me in the right direction of finding things would be cool. Like walking past the trees that puff blue mist and make sound- what's that mean?

Edit: everything makes a lot more sense now I can't wait to spend more time roaming and interacting with everyone <3
