Controls & Basic Movement — Karma: The Dark World Guide

Master Karma: The Dark World controls. Learn movement, interaction, and how to use Sprint effectively for navigating its first-person world.

Karma: The Dark World utilizes a standard first-person control scheme. Familiarize yourself with these core actions:

• Movement (W/A/S/D or Left Stick): Navigate the environment.
• Look (Mouse or Right Stick): Control your camera and gaze.
• Interact (E or X/Square): Open doors, pick up items, activate mechanisms, and speak with NPCs.
• Sprint (Left Shift or L3): Move faster, but be mindful of your Stamina Gauge. Sprinting consumes Stamina and can alert nearby entities.
• Crouch (C or Circle/B): Reduce your visibility and noise. Essential for stealth sections.
• Focus (Right Click or L2): Zoom in slightly, often used for examining details or aiming specific Mind-Abilities.
• Mind-Ability Wheel (Tab or D-Pad Up): Access your equipped Mind-Abilities.
• Inventory (I or Touchpad/View Button): Open your inventory to manage items and equip gear.
• Journal (J or D-Pad Left): Review objectives, lore entries, and character notes.

Practice these movements in the opening tutorial area to get a feel for the character's responsiveness. Pay close attention to the subtle haptic feedback if playing on a controller, as it often signals nearby threats or interactive elements.
