Park, in the order guides repeat

Porch teaches you to tie bags. The court teaches the sprint that opens the garage. The basement is reached from the back of the garage; leaves will not climb the stairs, so you carry them by hand, bag them, and toss them up. A finished basement opens a side door to the shed roof. The shed’s halfway point is tied to a speed bonus and its finish opens the grill. The pool’s halfway point is another leaf-value bonus and its finish opens the greenhouse hedge. The greenhouse, once finished, is what the developer named as the key to the secret-room vent.

Castle and Sakura are the free 1.1 maps from 30 Oct 2026. They follow their own room chains. The 500,000 leaf figure in the patch note is a total for all three maps. I do not divide it.

Questions

How long is a first clear?

1 hour 50 minutes is the main-story figure on the time-to-beat reading cited above, from 72 people. That page also lists PS5, which Steam does not. I trust Steam for the platform and the time-to-beat page for the hours.
