Basic Controls
  • W, A, S, D: Movement (Forward, Left, Backward, Right)
  • Mouse: Look around / Aim
  • Left Click: Interact / Pick up / Use item
  • Right Click: Throw item (when holding one) / Zoom (when not holding)
  • E: Interact (alternative) / Open doors
  • Shift: Sprint
  • Ctrl / C: Crouch
  • Spacebar: Jump
  • Q: Drop current item
  • 1-4: Select inventory slot

Practice these movements in a safe area, like your own house at the beginning of Act 1, to get a feel for the character's mobility and interaction range. Remember, stealth is key, so mastering crouching and precise movement is more important than raw speed.
