Dream Walkthrough

Basics

Controls

• For controlling the player movement use WASD on your keyboard and your mouse.
• If you want, you can also use a gamepad, although it is a good method on moving the player, it is a bit harder to crouch on the gamepad.
• Unfortunately, there is a bug that makes it impossible to fully map your controls to a controller, so i recommend a keyboard and mouse for playing the game.

General Tips

• In some areas screenshots will become very handy to reference them again. This is a Steam game, so u can press F12 in-game to take a screenshot.
