Controls and settings that make the demo comfortable

Confirmed keyboard shortcuts

The May 2026 demo update moved several actions closer to the WASD area. These are the exact changes Apogee published:

Movement, attack, interact, jump and menu bindings are not all listed in the patch notes we reviewed. Use the in-game control settings to see and change them. The patch notes do refer to WASD movement.

Settings worth changing

• Focus Glow (Settings → Guidance): highlights objects that can be picked up or interacted with. Useful if you keep missing plants, jars or quest objects.
• Camera auto-rotation (Settings → Guidance): for mouse-and-keyboard players. It keeps the camera moving with the character, which can reduce manual camera work.
• FPS cap (Settings → Graphics): an official option in the updated demo. Cap the frame rate if you prefer steadier frame pacing or lower heat/fan noise.
• Button rebinding: available for gamepad and mouse-and-keyboard. Rebind dodge and lock-on first if they feel awkward.
• Language: English or Spanish. The demo supports both.

A comfortable starting setup

1. Use a gamepad if you have one; it is the recommended input.
2. Turn on Focus Glow for the first hour while you learn what is interactable.
3. On mouse-and-keyboard, try camera auto-rotation and turn it off if it fights your aim.
4. Rebind lock-on and dodge to buttons you can reach without leaving the stick.
5. Cap FPS only if you notice unstable pacing or high fan noise.

Known fixes and current issues

The May 2026 update fixed Steam Deck name-entry problems and several Spanish localization issues. ↗ We do not have a current, official list of open demo bugs, so we will not present one as complete.

If the demo does not launch, start with the basics: update Steam, verify the game files, check the minimum requirements, and try the demo at a lower resolution. Those are general troubleshooting steps, not confirmed fixes for a specific bug.
