I never actually timed myself doing it all, but 3 minutes sounds like a decent time, well done :D
Yeah I wanted the player to start by just interacting with things to see what happens. I think in future I would perhaps add some flavor text on things like the rock to hint at talking to people if you interact before getting the pick. But something-something, hindsight, 20-20, etc.
Anyway, thanks for playing and commenting.
