In-game tutorials after picking up essential items

It may make sense to introduce the HUD slowly through item pickups.

Also, after picking up the first few main items the game could show a quick tutorial description.

• Wood Stick pickup to introduce attack button, and explain that items are automatically worn and used.
• Spellbook: Heal pickup introduces mana usage and casting spells in and out of combat
• Map pickup adds the direction indicators and map display

Also consider the complete opposite and making an online game manual.
