Controller support?
I noticed this is listed as having "Full controller support" is this accurate? I'd like to screen share this with my Nvidia shield on my TV, but if I need a full keyboard and mouse that'll be annoying.

I just tried it out. The controller works in the main menu. In game, the controller moves the cursor around like it's emulating a mouse. The buttons map to the "use" action, verb selection, inventory selection, skip, menu, transition between classic/special edition etc. I did not see any options to customise the buttons or cursor sensitivity.

For whatever reason, the game performance is unusable for me in full-screen right now (at first I thought it had hanged with a black screen), so I had to put it into windowed mode first (alt-enter). After changing the graphic settings in the game menu, the game started in window mode on successive launches as desired.

Thanks for trying it out! Did it seem playable to you?

It's not as precise to control a mouse cursor with a controller, but yes it is playable.

Hi, I know this is old, but I've recentky bought the game, and I'm unable to open the inventory with a PS4 controller, no button seems to work for it. I can change to the classic version and use the objects, but it's a bit impractical. If anyone knows how to solve this, I'd appreciate it
