The controls are terrible. Game taken off wish list.
The game looks good but the controls are the worst. The camera is all over the place and its almost impossible to control the character. I spent a few minutes just trying to walk in a straight line. I'm sorry but if the demo is anything like the game then I wont be buying.

Steam supports wireless controllers. Xbox One or Dualshock 4 will be perfect.

Pls don't necro threads.

A quick google search or even searchfunction here on steam allows you get to your goal quicker.
Or form another thread specific for your needs.
Thank you.,

I wish there was an auto-lock on threads older than 7 days.
Mods? Anyone?

If you right click with the mouse to scan the area, it sets the camera angle to where you are looking, so it's actually really easy to get a good camera angle, instead of fighting against the pre-set.

I had the same first impression during the first mission, was frustrated by the camera, but wow I'm glad I stuck with it, since it's an amazing game. So, try right mouse click for easy camera management.

lol 7 day old necro ><

The control system is poor. Especially in combat type situations whilst using kb/mouse. Trying to follow the onscreen prompts in quick succession is just bile.

What are you even on about ? The controls are fine,if any its on the player and not the controls.

Im here for the same issue. I am following the tutorial and it is literally not responsive.

"If" an action can be taken it takes a while to get it to work correctly. I came here looking if anyone had solutions and I find only the same issue, or people being condescending to those dealing with the issue.

Stop being broke and get an xbox controller for 15€ of Amazon lol

I'm disabled and struggle to use a controller, It isn't a question of being cheap. The KB/Mouse controls stink

I don't think it's quite as bad as all that, but, yes, the interface is ... lamentable. Camera angles are shonky sometimes, which means you CAN end up walking into someone who's looking for you. Like when you raid the company stores of blue fluid -- failed that mission because I was walking around like a [derogatory word] and trying to leave the control room and walked straight into the guards.

Janky at best. But, I am willing to bet it is masterable. Especially for you 16-23yo's.

What annoys me fffffffaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrr more than this is those $!*(#& quick Time Events. How many buttons on a controller do they use? Five? On a keyboard, seventy-five? Fighting is nearly impossible. I cannot count the number of times I have lost battles with whomever because of the QTEs. Garbage way to do a game, if only because 1996 called and wants their QTEs back ... but more than even this ...

"Do this mission, Bob. Remember to disable the alarm. Oh, but disabling the alarm won't appear as an objective. Nor will we remind you to do it before you climb into the vehicle. We won't give you ANY HINTS as to where you are supposed to disable the alarm. I mean, there'll be no indicator anywhere in the game arena for where the alarm is, or a bright yellow marker. NOR will we PERMIT you to exit the vehicle because you remember it's still not done and apparently the game isn't going to remind you, mid-drive, like you expected ... oh well, you failed that mission because we do dumb game design. Here's a guilt trip about all the androids you failed to liberate. Guilt-guilt-guilt. Oh no, we won't shut-up about how BADLY you've failed "the movement". Here's some more guilting! Are you feeling bad now? Good! So you should be! What a wicked and evil person you must be!" And this is but ONE of several instances.

This game is nothing short of well-written emotional propaganda for an important issue rooted in a ridiculous premise.

There are many reasons for pulling this game from your wishlist; I am inclined to think the controls, though shirty, are but one of the smaller ones.

I struggled with mouse and keyboards at first. But then I realised... it's MEANT to be challenging. It's part of the drama. Especially the timed events. Can you reach the S and D keys, can you hold two keys and work mouse at the same time.. It's actually awesome, clever, and really adds to the dynamic of the game! I guess that went over some people's heads by the sound of it.

HA, if people failed the "Capitol Park" mission they should find a new hobby cause that's just embarrassing. Everyone I've watched never even failed that part.

Catastrophic camera work. You often don't know how to turn the controller sticks to look ahead. Good thing it's only a demo. I would have given back the purchase version immediately. Graphics are otherwise great. In the tutorial you sometimes don't understand how to proceed. I spent at least two minutes looking for the error when the hand was scanned 1/3 with a lock and nothing worked. There is still some room for improvement. The controller control with the right stick is also too much. Why don't they follow the example of the top games, here I have the feeling that almost everything is done with the right stick. That's very irritating
