I spent this pass making the game easier to read in the moments where people usually bounce.

Big changes landed in three areas: onboarding hints, upgrade clarity, and achievement pacing.

## What Changed

I added a contextual hint panel with unlock-based narrative snippets.

Now the game can surface short, relevant nudges when you hit specific states instead of dumping static help. It should feel more like a control room briefing and less like a wall of text.

I also cleaned up upgrade descriptions and sequencing, especially around Death Worker progression.

The goal was simple: when you compare upgrades, you should understand what each one does without mentally decoding it.

On top of that, I rebalanced several achievements so progression feedback lands earlier and feels fairer during normal play.

## Why It Matters For Players

Early and mid-game decisions should now be less guessy.

You get better guidance when systems unlock, better readability when spending resources, and less awkward dead-air while waiting for milestone feedback.

In short: less “what am I supposed to do now?” and more “okay, I see the next move.”

## What I Want To Tune Next

I still want to tighten the pacing between the first hint chain and the first big upgrade spikes.

If those beats feel too slow or too noisy, I will trim text and push more signal into visuals.
