Mechanics Deep Dive
PC Controls: WASD for movement, mouse for camera. E or left-click to interact with objects. B opens the build menu. F or click at a fishing spot to fish. Tab or I opens inventory. Hold Shift to sprint — critical for emergency dashes to shelter during storms. PC offers the most precise and responsive controls.
Mobile Controls: Virtual joystick in the lower-left for movement. Tap directly on objects to interact — contextual buttons appear near buildable items and fishing spots. A sprint button appears on-screen when moving. Mobile controls work well but lack the precision of keyboard and mouse for quick reactions during emergencies.
Console Controls (Xbox & PlayStation): Left stick for movement, right stick for camera. A/X for interact, B/Circle for cancel, X/Circle for sprint, Y/Triangle for build. Bumpers handle quick actions. Console controls follow standard Roblox conventions, making them intuitive for experienced Roblox console players.
Accessibility Settings: The game uses standard Roblox accessibility options including adjustable camera sensitivity, key remapping through Roblox settings, and text chat for communication. Colorblind modes are available through Roblox system settings. No in-game specific accessibility options exist in Alpha, but standard platform-level accommodations apply.

Key Decisions
PC or console?
PC — precise controls, faster reactions
Console — comfortable, casual play
PC is recommended for survival gameplay where sprint timing and rapid interactions matter. Console is fine for casual sessions, but emergency situations are harder to navigate with controller input.
Custom or default keybinds?
Default — no setup time, standard layout
Custom — optimized for personal preference
Start with defaults and remap only if specific keys feel awkward. The default Roblox layout is well-designed for survival. Custom binds help if you have muscle memory from other games.
Sprint often or conserve stamina?
Sprint often — cover ground fast, less exposure
Conserve stamina — walk to avoid running out mid-emergency
Sprint only for emergencies or short bursts between shelter and resources. Walking conserves your sprint for when you truly need it — like dashing to shelter when a storm hits unexpectedly.
