The control scheme is short on purpose: move, and choose. Here it is for every device the game supports (desktop, phone and tablet).
PC / keyboard & mouse
| W | Move forward |
| A / D | Move left / right |
| S | Move back |
| Mouse click | Make a choice / interact |
Phone & tablet
| On-screen joystick | Move |
| Tap | Make a choice / interact |
Control tips
- Walk around for a minute at the start until moving feels natural.
- On touch screens, push the joystick only part of the way when you want to creep slowly.
- Choices use a click or tap, so read the options first.
