This tutorial will explain you how to disable the ''tutorial mode'' in ''[[Wikipedia 2197|The Sum]]''. It generates information windows as game elements are discovered, or items are equipped, adding a lot of text to the game. Turning it off leads to a more direct gameplay experience.{{Caution|For advanced players who already know the game mechanics. Since unlocking explanation windows sometimes earns [[Autonomy Points]], disabling them will bring an extra challenge.}}
