Controls, keybinds, and Steam Deck
Counter and Hunt share the same keys. You can rebind inside the game, but on Deck many actions require an additional Steam Input layer to respond.
Default keyboard and mouse
WASD move, E interact (talk, refuel, wind, board), F flashlight, Tab team list, M self-mute, R reload. Left-click confirm / shoot. Do not Alt+F4 during night transitions — saves roll back. See saves.
How to rebind keys
Esc → Settings → Keyboard. Click a row, press new key. Conflicts highlight red. Takes effect immediately. Do not manually edit the .ini while Steam Cloud is active — the next sync will overwrite your changes.
Gamepad presets
Settings → Gamepad. Three separate profiles: Playing, Dialogue, Restock. This prevents accidental walking while interrogating. Xbox and PlayStation controllers route through Steam Input. If "interact does not respond" on Deck or a Bluetooth pad, do not keep fighting the in-game row — switch to a community layout instead.
Steam Deck: playable, not Verified
As of late August 2026 the game still has no official Verified badge. Try Proton Experimental; Quick Access → Gamepad → community layouts, commonly Deckyboard at Midnight. If the main menu has no cursor, switch to "gamepad + trackpad mouse." The microphone needs the correct device selected in SteamOS audio settings. Multiplayer matches the same Steam pool as desktop.
Steam Input community layouts
No official Deck config exists yet. Pick a layout that includes gyro aim assist, separate L1/A for interact, and trackpad single-click for flashlight. An in-game reset does not clear Steam Input. When key-repeat fires on both sides, clear both layers.
40 FPS cap on handheld
Native 1280×800, medium textures, low shadows, medium effects, locked 40 FPS / 40 Hz. Night-shift stutters can be reduced by adding the launch option -dx11 (see troubleshooting for the full crash-workflow).
Reset坏掉的方案
Settings can reset keyboard, gamepad, audio, and display independently. Do not delete the LocalLow folder to fix keybinds — that wipes story saves.
