PC controls?
Greetings.

I just bought this game since it had an 'overwhelmingly positive' rating here on Steam.

A few minutes in I had to search online for how to open the book when on the boat. Only console commands appeared on the search, but I figured it out in the end.

Anyway, I find the lack of a tutorial abysmal (fancy word I don't really understand), and i wish there would be some kind of guide on how to run/sprint and stuff, as well as other moves for the PC.

I've been walking round the house for some time now, but I can't get in...

Any tips, pls?

There is a door on the side that has a doggy door that you have to bend down and crawl through.

I agree about the lack of tutorial, and no guide for keyboard.

So basically, keyboard support is LIMITED, and the developer promotes, and recommends the use of a controller.

Don't know why not take a few hours/minutes more of development to include some quality of life (actually, needed) features like keyboard support and tutorials. This seems like a good game about exploration, but I dislike the fact that keyboard+mouse was left aside.

I just finished the game with keyboard+mouse, no issue encountered but i did need a larger mousepad area than usual for a few moves (like closing books).
That said i will play this again with gamepad next time, as i hear it's encouraged and can imagine why.

You kids need a spoon? Lol, this is not how this game was intended to be played.

lol right. Because wanting to know how to control your character in a game is so much to ask…

I have to say I was also struggling with the control of some parts, especially with the camera regarding the snake.

@Aglarele - I have to say the snake/tentacle type thing was a bit of a confusing learn at first on mouse/keyboard... I had to keep clicking to move the camera forward... But overall the controls seemed decent.

When it wants you to open a book or turn a page using the mouse was pretty neat, the interaction was swell... But then again you could also just hold the left button (a or arrow key left) Sometimes learning the controls on your own make it more immersive since you don't have a guide to hold your hand through the game. Plus on a mouse and keyboard there was literally just 6 buttons you really had to know about and the different movement type.
