NEW TO TIDEFALL?
Start with the story.
Tidefall Academy is a fantasy book series with an interactive world wrapped around it. You do not need to learn fifty spells, memorise every Order or read a lore archive first. Start with Book One. Everything else becomes more interesting after that.
The best first route through Tidefall takes about five clicks. Follow the story first, then meet the people, then open the world.
