Controls

Default keyboard and gamepad bindings, and how to change them.

Letter keys are bound by position, so they stay in the same place on AZERTY and other layouts.

Running needs the Running Shoes. Bikes, rods and repels go on the action bar; there is no separate Select key for registered items.

Changing bindings

  • Settings → Controls rebinds the keyboard. Reset keyboard binds restores the defaults.
  • Settings → Controller rebinds the gamepad and shows which controller is connected. Reset controller binds restores the defaults.

The game allows two actions on the same button and warns you when you do it.
