- Left click can be used to interact with objects and UI elements, such as the return button or the inventory
- Double-clicking on an inventory item will make Stille inspect it
- Clicking and dragging inventory items lets you use them on the enviornment

  Keyboard:
- Arrow keys either switches between objects, or navigates menus if open

- Escape (Esc) quits to the main menu at almost any time
- Hit M to toggle music from the main menu
- Click & Drag: While the inventory is open, navigate to the item that you want. It's name should appear. Then, hold Enter to "grab" it. Whilst still holding Enter, close the inventory by releasing right shoulder. This will return you to object navigation mode, only now as you switch between objects, an icon featuring the selected item will appear over the objects. Once you get to the object you wish to use the item on, just release Enter.

  (Xbox) Controller:
- Left control stick either switches between objects, or navigates menus if open
- A button either continues to the next line in dialogue, or uses items if the inventory is open
- Holding X ensures that dialogue is sped up when present (unlike A which only speeds up the current line)
- B allows you to skip past dialogue if you've beaten the game
- Holding X activates Stille's element (A.K.A "Focus Mode"), when applicable

- Click & Drag: While the inventory is open, navigate to the item that you want. It's name should appear. Then, hold A to "grab" it. Whilst still holding A, close the inventory by releasing right shoulder. This will return you to object navigation mode, only now as you switch between objects, an icon featuring the selected item will appear over the objects. Once you get to the object you wish to use the item on, just release A.

Note: Keyboard and controller support is considered lower priority, and thus their integration is done mostly through imperfect dynamic systems, and the in-game tutorials do not accomodate for them. Use these control methods at your own inconvience.
