Short version: Make your character and spend your reroll codes on the creation screen before you lock it in. Learn four keys (M1 attack, Q dash, F block or parry, E infuse cursed energy), run a Soul Ignite mission to contain a field curse, hand it in to Agent Hoshino, then take the first grade exam at the red phone booth. Cursed techniques only come at Grade 2.

The first-hour loop
- Roll your race and stats on the creation screen. The Redeem Code box is in the top right of the creation screen (we saw it in ItzVexo's video).
- Redeem codes before you lock the character if you care about your starting clan: the rerolls are used on the character you are customizing.
- Learn the four keys you need at once: M1 to hit, Q to dash, F to block or parry, E to infuse your attacks.
- Follow the blue ring to the Soul Ignite board, start the mission and beat a field curse such as a Brute, then hold E to contain it.
- Turn the specimen in to Agent Hoshino inside the HQ building. The lab pays Merit; Black Net pays Sin instead.
- Walk to the red phone booth and sit a Grade Exam. The panel shows your grade and the next exam you may enter.
Use the notebook when you're lost
One guide (BloxRant) says to press M, open the Notebook tab, pick an NPC and hit Track to get a waypoint. It also lists the tutorial recaps there. We haven't seen the tab ourselves, so treat the exact buttons as reported.
Quick tips
- Don't lock in a weak roll just to start playing. Rerolls from codes stack and don't expire, so spend them first.
- Keep your yen for the gates: the gas mask costs 5,000 and the desert gate 10,000.
- Learn to parry (tap F right before a hit) before you take on Grade 2 and up. Dying costs more there.
- Open the Notebook (M) whenever you don't know who to talk to next.
