how on earth does this play with keyboard and mouse !!!
Could someone explane how control works with keyboard mouse ... im serious .

Because im sitting here screaming at my pc getting anoyed how retarded it is , those arows symbol are insane. I honestly used over 5min just trying to pick the picture up.

Then i thought i figure it out (just use a w s or d key together with mouse)

But then it has a curves arrows few moment later and i honestly quit game out of frustration because i could not get it to do that action nomatter how i clicked my keys in combo.

I gave up with a keyboard and mouse. It is possible but just a pain. A 360 controller works well.

Keyboard is for moving around, mouse is for interactions.

To do the curved arrow is actually quite easy once you practice a bit. Just play around doing things in the first mission to practice, then start a new game once you have the hang of it.

Suppose you have an arrow that points right, then curves up to the top. Just hold mouse button, move mouse right, then move up. You don't really have to curve the motion of the mouse, if you try you risk getting a "left" instead of an "up" which will undo the action. All mouse motions are actually straight or right angles.

Yes, I had to learn from stumbling through the demo that when the arrow in a circle pops up all you have to do is left click and move the mouse in the direction of the arrow. It's very easy once you know what to do.

Thanks, i really appreciate it. Sounds easy enough they way you guys explane it.

I honestly returned the game the day after, and went and watches pla throu on Youtube instead since i really wanted the story. Been watching all possible ways the last two days haha.

Next game they make i know better.
I am now unhappy I bought this game. I just wanted some sci-fi. I always forget to read store page where it lists how the game is played. On Steam I always still just assume everything is supported with mouse and keyboard and the controller is optional. But not so much anymore. Too late to refund. I could play with my Xbox controller but I prefer not to. I just bough it way back when for one game I played and didn't really like it then. I have consoles but like the PC way more with M/KB.

So I am clicking left mouse and moving it straight up and NOTHING is happening - what is wrong here?

It depends on what the prompt shows. It's not always "press LMB + move mouse up". That's only when you see an arrow pointing upwards.

Sometimes it's into another direction or it includes 90, 180 or 270 degree motions in addition (so you press LMB, move the mouse upward/downward/left/right - depending on what is shown - and then make a circle motion clockwise or counterclockwise - depending on what is shown).

It's 1:1 the same thing as with a thumbstick when you play with a controller. Just that you have a mouse instead and have to press the mouse button first.

C'mon guys... it's not *that* hard. Don't be silly.

Funny that the game totally fails to explain how to do such basic things. Gestures are not a very common control scheme on PC. Played other games that acutally made a brief tutoral for that. It's not that hard to add one... Don't be silly...

Idiotic control system for a PC - I refuse to disconnect every single peripheral from my PC just to play a game, then go plug them all back in again - no other game requires this! Pathetic - refund requrested.

Thanks. I just got the game and it wasn't clear at all.
Pretty good, thanks for asking me.
