Etra's Training Grounds: Third Person Adventure Basics is a short game that teaches people who have never played games before how to    walk, look around, interact, and jump in  Third Person Adventure games.  

Across my Youtube channels Etra's Games for Non-Gamers and Extra Etra, I have FOUR videos dedicated to teaching you how to use this program and teach non-gamers Journey. 

1- Download  Both  My Game and Journey
Download   "ETG:TPA Basics " (Below) and Journey (on Steam, EGS, or Playstation Products)

2-Download and Print the "Traveler's Guide" pdf

3.   -Disconnect Journey from the internet
Disconnect whatever device you will play Journey on from the internet   to make sure the game's multiplayer elements won't  interfer with your player.

4. -Select your Language and Controller, then play through my program.
When you start   "Etra's Training Grounds:TPA Basics" , select what controller you will be using and what language you want to play the game in, then have your  willing non-gamer s/o, parent, friend, or whover play through the game.

5.-Give your Player the Traveler's Guide, then have them play Journey
When  your new player gets their scarf in Journey, give them  the "Traveler's  Guide"  you printed out earlier. Put a pen next to the paper if they want to mark off their progress (optional).   Then have them play through the game like normal.

This was super helpful. I'm going to get more and more non gamers to play this. My wife played this and then played through Journey. It was fun.

The button prompts still not showing

Finally fixed it lol
