Gameplay
Caren is controlled by the player using a combination of the blinking cursor on the screen, and the action menu.
To move Caren around the game world, move the cursor using the joystick and press Fire. If the cursor is over a position Caren can reach, she will begin moving towards it.
The world of Caren is full of interactable objects. When the cursor is moved over an object Caren can interact with, the cursor’s crosshair expands and the action menu highlights the available options for that item.
Action Menu
Caren can interact with the world in various ways, depending on the object the cursor is hovering over using the action menu.
Press and hold any of the fire buttons to activate the action menu, then move the joystick to adjust the highlighted option in the bottom left-hand side of the screen.
