Absolutely stupendous graphics. Seems like its probably a good story. But I'm absolutely baffled by the UI and what I'm supposed to do or how to do it.
I apologize if it's confusing, I assume you mean the world map? It works by using arrow keys (can be remapped in the settings) to move around. The events icon located below the map should show you the events currently available to you. Majority of events in that menu can be clicked on to fast travel so you avoid having to use the map for the most part.
