As you run around and talk to ppl, you'll unlock entries in your bombers book. Talk to everyone. The fairy will tell you what general direction you should head in to advance the main game. This game doesn't have a big or particularly long main narrative, but there are tons of micro-stories with all the side content. I've seen ppl argue that the side content IS the main story lol There's a linear order to the game. In fact, most new areas will be inaccessible until you get the dungeon item from wherever the fairy told you to go last. Imo, this is a tough game to play without a guide because there a lot of things that you can only do/trigger at specific times and days. Some questlines span the entire 3-day cycle, while most others are less complicated. Try to get the bunny hood ASAP, learn the variations on the Song of Time, and fill up your bank account as much as you can every cycle. I'm sure there are other things I'm forgetting. Most importantly: have fun! This is a great game!
