Controlling the camera

Press [Q][E] or (LB)(RB) to rotate the camera.

You can reverse the camera controls in the Settings menu.

Aiming

Hold [RMB] or (LT) to enter Aiming Mode.

Energy isn't restored while you're moving in Aiming Mode.

You can't enter Aiming Mode in safe areas, but you can still reload your weapons and use Healing Items.

Energy

The white bar at the bottom of the screen represents your Energy. Actions such as Kicking or Dodging, deplete it.

Energy regenerates over time. If you let your Energy drain completely, the regeneration freezes for a moment.

Health

The maximum value of Energy depends on your current Health. The more you're damaged, the less Max Energy you have.

At 50% Health or lower performing a Kick or a Dodge will completely deplete your Energy.

Below 25% you can no longer run.

Dodging

Press [Space] or (B) to Dodge.

Kicking

Press [LMB] or (RT) to Kick.

Kicking pushes back enemies and can knock them down.

Some objects such as wooden crates and barrels can be destroyed by Kicking.

Using the Flashlight

The tentacle-like pseudopods hide when electric light shines on them.

To conserve Batteries switch the Flashlight off by pressing [5] or (R-Stick).

Enemies can see and will react to the Flashlight beam.

Stealth

Press [Ctrl] or (L-Stick) to Crouch.

While Crouching, you move more quietly and you're less visible, so you can sneak past enemies.

Turn off your Flashlight because enemies will notice the light coming off from it.

Quick slots

Items in the top row of Inventory are assigned to quick slots. If an item can be used from a quick slot, it will show up on the HUD in the bottom right corner.

Selecting a weapon from a quick slot will equip it.

Healing and Energizing Items will be used.

Dismembering

Shoot the head so the enemy cannot track you.

Shoot the arms so the enemy cannot attack you.

Shoot the legs so the enemy cannot chase you.

Distorted body parts are harder to dismember.

Weapon

Make sure to heal and reload your weapons before stepping within the earshot of the enemies.

Sometimes it's a good idea to avoid combat if you don't have enough resources.

Enemies with distortions on their heads can't be hurt by a stealth attack. Attempting to do so will make you vulnerable to retaliation.
