Just started this one after finishing the first two, afraid I can't understand how to click on stuff or just the in-game controls in general, could someone briefly explain? I'm not sure if it's just bugged because of my computer or if there's something I'm just not getting... thanks in advance!

With the Cursor keys you move about. When you stand near a highlighted object, you interact with it using the WASD keys. When multiple obects are highlighted, you cycle between them with the PgUp and PgDn keys. You run by holding the Shift key. I think that's about it.

That's right Shift is Run and CTRL key is crouch as well. The best way to look at it with actions is like a compass otherwise you can get horribly confused at certain times which lead to annoying deaths.
So basically use the direction arrovws as you would view a compass ie NSEW and in action scenes the easiest way is to treat the WSDA keys the same way.
Also be careful of fast camera changes during chase scenes as this can disorientate you and you can accidentally run back into danger if you aren't extra careful to me mindful of the direction you are facing.

It is a shame the controls and camera are a bit iffy as the game itself is brilliant with amazing acting and storylines.

Anyway i hope what i just typed made sense as i spent alot of time getting used to the controls and that is how i taught myself to not make mistakes :)

No problem i just completed the game with just the keyboard. Found the game a bit easy on the whole . Didn't need a guide to complete it Just a couple of tricky parts but overall i love the puzzles in this game and the ending is worth it :). It is a rather long game too which is great.
