Splitting game guides by user intent

Something I keep noticing with game-guide sites: users rarely want "the full guide" first.

For a story-heavy game like Sally Face, the intent is usually narrower:

  • I need one puzzle code.
  • I missed an achievement.
  • I want chapter order without spoilers.
  • I forgot where a character appears.

That changes the site structure. A good guide should split chapters, walkthroughs, achievements, characters, and download references instead of pushing everything into one long page.

This Sally Face reference is a useful example of that pattern: https://sallyface.org/

Curious if others building content sites think in terms of search intent first, or page templates first.
