Blue Prince | Episode 1 | Guide for Complete Beginners | Day 1
20Welcome to Mt. Holly, where every dawn unveils a new mystery. Navigate through shifting corridors and ever-changing chambers in this genre-defying strategy puzzle adventure. But will your unpredictable path lead you to the rumored Room 46? In this Complete Beginner's Guide to Blue Prince, I start a brand new game so you can play along with me as I explain the very basics of the game, drawing on my own experience and the great advice I have received from viewers. This guide is as non-spoilery as can be, and does not focus on the "best" or "fastest" way to win, perfection, speed runs, but rather lays out the fundaments of the UI, the controls, how to explore, solve the puzzles, understand the mystery, some tips and tricks, and the overall strategy of the game so you can best enjoy it on your own terms. I don't prescribe a singular method, but rather expose the tools and shortcuts in the game so you enjoy Blue Prince at your own pace!
