  Does it ever become clearer? I've tried playing it a few times and never managed to get anywhere, like I'd maybe acquire a single follower, and then shortly afterwards die of malnutrition or something.

    Do you mean mechanically or the setting? Mechanics-wise, a big part of the gameplay is figuring out for yourself what to do. Everything is discoverable, but you have to be willing to take a few jumps without seeing where you'll land. The early experience feels like you're just trying to keep a bunch of plates spinning; with some practice, that gets comfortable enough that you have bandwidth to also make forward progress. Settings-wise, yes but also no. You find out more, which all seem to be part of a coherent whole, but the entire whole is not revealed.
