A beginner guide for the first 10-20 hours
The world ofNi No Kuniis whimsical, beautiful, and sometimes scary. The mere fact that the game features a number of old school JRPG tropes is enough to frighten even some of the hardiest of gamers, who are used to modern conveniences like fast travel from the start.

Release this game from its shrink-wrap, read these tips, and get ready for an amazing journey.
