That sounds like a good idea, but it actually reminds me of something.
I remember playing some really old games, like Commander Keen and Wolf 3D, and those games had "help menus" when you pressed F1, and those basically contained an in-game manual you could page through. Why don't games do that anymore?
I think that an in-game manual or a Tutorial/help menu would be very useful and could contain a lot of useful information, like for example, a list of the statuses, their icons, and what they mean.
