The tutorial introduces players to the game's basic mechanics through quests and optional Hints. It also introduces several simuloid characters that are revisited later in the Main Storyline. The tutorial is set in The Destruction an area of Limbo where parts of various simulations have been discarded and frozen in time. The tutorial takes players from level 1 to level 5.
“The trashcan of simulations. The storage of what has been forgotten or removed, a surreal collection of bits and pieces and leftovers of simulations that were destroyed when the mysterious entity called “The Other” collapsed before the current events. That code did not disappear, it is still very much alive and evolved from broken pieces into an emotionless enemy that sees every simuloid the same way: code that can be devoured to grow further.

The tutorial features a lot of scenes and characters that will be familiar to fans of the book series and also gives players a glimpse at parts of some simulations they will encounter further into their journey through Otherland.
