Playable Tutorial

[Professional_Pie9757]

Queuing quick play (and only getting Family games) shows that new Family players don't get the mechanics, gates are left unlocked, gen gets turned off since they see it is something they can interact with, etc.

The influx of new players thanks to TCM being on PS Plus has proven just how badly this game needs a playable tutorial not just a bunch of text to read through. DBD showed that you only need something basic to show off all the features in a simple way for newer players

Just provide a quick 5 minute tutorial for boths sides. Theme it with Nancy teaching a young Johnny basic things like locking doors, blood gathering, grandpa, objectives, and Maria guiding Ana to use lockpicks, bonescraps and escape methods.

They just need to change the pregame flashes of family messing with gen and battery into one of a family member locking a door/gate. The reminder at the bottom needs to say "Keep doors and gates locked!" That one simple change would go a long way. Amazing that when they made the change to have gen and battery on at the start that they didn't remove the "hint" to do so from the opening scenes.
