The game works very well, but it’s difficult to play with an AZERTY keyboard as you cannot remap keys, it seems :)

I understand it is not a fps but immersion is hindered rather than helped by a cumbersome interface. Hopefully this design decision has the intended effect and doesn’t make the game too clumsy to enjoy.

“There was mouse control in the game but I removed it. Sorry, this game is not for action fans. This is a filter…”
what a curious and horrible decision, he wanted the game to feel intentionally clumsy, to make it more immersively robotic? bleh.

—
-Why no mouse control?
-This is a low paced adventure game without action. You will be OK with the keyboard control.
(Note1: you can try a gamepad, just map the keys to the gamepad buttons… I think this is possible.)
(Note2: There was mouse control in the game but I removed it. Sorry, this game is not for action fans. This is a filter…)

So, this is not linux specific, this is how the game is made.

I would like to play this but i’m not about to fumble around the game world using both WASD and the cursor keys, is mouselook not intended to be an option or is it just broken for me at the moment?
