You start on the title screen. If there’s no earlier save, pressing Enter or clicking brings you to the character creator, which leads to the game itself, popping up a Look window on the player to describe what you ended up with.

But if there is a save, the above pops up. One answer leads to the character creator as usual, but the other restores the game and gives you the Look window as a refresher.

Between the character creator and the game proper, the world is generated. Right now this is hardly noticable but it’ll certainly take a while at its final scope. I wonder if I could multithread the process – generate a playerless world as the player is still mucking about in the character creator, and only waiting if it’s not done yet. Or maybe disable the Go button until the world is done, I dunno?
