Creating Invisible Tutorials Through Level Design

Scrabdackle is in its last 3 days on Kickstarter, and 141% funded! ⮞ https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/jakefriend/scrabdackle Really tried to cram a lot into 15 minutes - hopefully it's not too rushed. I've been wanting to talk about this for ages! Not a very experienced video editor, but I did the best I could. Spread the word if you enjoyed this!

There's a lot more to how you get the first dungeon key and what else they try to teach you along the way, as well as how the map slowly expands, but it would have been a tangent on a tangent to get into.
