Don't Starve is a pretty fun game, but I'm having real trouble finding things, since there's no manual or other official guide to let me know what things are supposed to look like. It's kind of frustrating, because it's not like it's hard to figure out that when a game uses a funky artstyle users are going to need to be told what things are, but whatever. I've found the forum, but there doesn't seem to be any basic overview / noob thread.
Does anyone know where a manual or other basic overview is?
EDIT: OK, there's an unofficial wiki. For anyone else who needs it, the wiki I found is at http://dont-starve-game.wikia.com/wiki/Don%27t_Starve_Wiki.
It's kind of disappointing that the developer doesn't seem to have done any actual manual-type thing for this game. Even Dwarf Fortress has a tutorial and some official sticky threads, although a lot of people rely on the wiki. If I wanted the DF into-the-deep-end experience, I would play DF. I don't expect this kind of treatment from a game I've paid for.
