Came for the drama but the game actually looks cool

It's giving off dwarf fortress adventure mode vibes which sounds really cool, like a game I've always wanted but been missing my whole life. How accessible is it as a new player? Is this something I need to put 100 hours into before I even have any idea what's going on?

Not at all! The opening of the game is pretty gentle. The trick will be getting a good starting equipment set going, finding local treasures and trouble without being overwhelmed, and learning how to navigate the map.

After that, just keep your character well fed and stocked on water. The rest will slowly fall into place as you gain skills and experiment with what you can do. The game is very sandboxy. It won't hold your hand, but it won't punish you too badly either.
