Careful with the controls

[Lukecis]

I was in the bed and thought the controls were messed up since I couldnt move (until I turned the light on) so I went into the settings to change the controls, and realized my mistake, so I backed out of it- well it took the esc key press to back out of it as a mapping action and set my forward walk to ESC...

And unbound the escape key or any way to access the menu/settings as far as I could tell.

Happened to me too.
Even worse, I wanted to remap duck to control. The game did not accept that input. So I wanted to cancel it, pressed ESC and... same issue as you. ESC ist bound to duck, no way to open the menu.

I play with ESDF and I can't get out of bed or close the menu I get after checking controls at all.

Controls rebinding seems messed up seeing how random keys unbound themselves for no reason

If you cant get out of bed its probably because you hadnt hit the light- it disables all controls besides being able to turn the light on, which was what first prompted me to go into the settings as well lol.

Exactly the same thing happened to me. You can quicksave with F5 and then ALT+F4 to restart the game, and rebind again from the main menu.
This should never happen though. Being able to unbind essential keys on accident is a development faux pas.

EDIT: I spoke too soon. I reset the keybind in the main menu and loaded up my game again, but ESC still don't work. Even rebinding ESC to 'back' again don't work. It's all borked now. Not even reinstalling the demo helps.

This is definitely something we are looking to fix for launch as it was reported a few times. Thanks for sharing the issue though :)
