wtf are these controls?

[Original Carrot]

all i can say is i played the demo, and will not be buying this trash due to the control system, it's trash, unable to interact with a lamp, took more than 10 mins to get the damned door open and in the room with the cards all the cards are numbered 1.... no idea why they strayed away from the typical controls , once i got (finally) to the fight training section i just exited the demo, pointless to try as the system is unresponsive and no clear 'reaction' to your mouse/button presses or movements. i'm shocked that anyone gave this game a good rating

[BoffinBrain]

I have to agree... This is baffling. 5 minutes into the game and I'm stuck trying to play the guitar. The symbol on-screen seems to hint that I should move the mouse down, but that does nothing. I've tried all kinds of button presses and mouse movements and I can only assume the game is bugged somehow. Not a great console port, is it?

wtf is this a scam? why sell a broken game?

I played the demo and I'm glad to learn that I'm not the only one who struggled in the fight training.

I understand it was made for gamepad but still kb/mouse controls are ♥♥♥♥♥♥ awful. Like they didnt' even try.

I played it on gamepad and the controls aren't the best, I could imagine they would be a nightmare on K+B, all Quantic games use strange controls, Detroit and Heavy Rain are the same

I just played the demo for Detroit and found the controls were both much better than this game!

The camera is easier to manage (and failing that, holding right-click to see objectives is a good workaround if you're close to a wall). For actions, you rarely have to do anything other than hold LMB and drag in one direction (or on advanced difficulty, drag vertically then horizontally).

I wonder if a different team was responsible for doing the port to PC for these two games. Going to try Heavy Rain next.

I'm stuck here too. Anyone figured this out yet?

Detroit is the better game, still this one has a damn great story.

If you don't own a XBOX pad I would give it a pass.

Are the kbm controls still broken, or have they patched it?

I don't think they will ever be patched....

I played this on PS3 and loved it but couldn't figure out this demo at all.

You have to play this game with a pad, keyboard and mouse is not working.

Just got this on discount. Looks really cool to watch. But all i can do is walk around like a drunk. tried to activate lamp at beginning and WASD does not work correctly and i cant figure out what its doing. i strummed the guitar ok with mouse. but if you got to actually fight etc forget it. HAS ANYONE SOLVED THE KEYBOARD CONTROL YET? figured in 2020 kb would be pretty easy piece of code.

Based on the screen shot above, I would guess that it wants both mouse buttons pressed while moving mouse down, but i'm not sure: I just tried the demo so far and am now on the fence about whether the current sale is good enough.

What the Hell is L1 on your keyboard, Jodie has been arrested and i cant get the damned cuffs off because L1 is not on your damn keyboard, the game didnt tell me what it is and in key mapping its Not even listed, Ive been wanting to play this game for myself since I watched Cry do his lets play 5+yrs ago but this is infuriating. I wont buy this game if It doesnt do the basic things like show me my controls. I mean this is worse than Arkham Knight and its Using a dual shock as the preferred controller in the settings menu, this game i know worked with ps4 with ios partner but that doesnt even seem to work right

(Edit) Ok so I feel stupid now thanks game, L is supposed to be shift, even though most games that use on screen prompts just either use the shift word or up arrow not both, its hella confusing

[DivineLion]

games like these are better with a controller
