The Old Man

The Old Man is an NPC that appears upon world creation near the spawn of the player. He gives the player tips and acts a tutorial. Once the player has built a house (walls, a door, tiles, and lighting), he will move in. Once inside, he will continue to give the player tips if they interact with them, and occasionally burble information about the Story. He is also blind, and if the player finds Fake Eyes, they can gift them to him and he will follow them as a Companion. Just like other NPCs, the Old Man can be killed. Upon doing so, the player will lose 5 Purity.
