Ship Controls

The ship can be controlled by Joystick, Keyboard or by the computer (Autopilot). Set the ship control in the Game Settings window.

The first two levels are easier to navigate, as the ship can only turn right or left.

1) Joystick Control

Press any joystick button to start or stop the ship movement. Turn the ship by moving the joystick. Pressing the keyboard "Page Down" key also starts/stops the ship.

2) Autopilot

In autopilot mode you control the ship speed, fog amount and/or music volume with your stress levels, but the computer takes care of the navigation of the ship.

You can set the game to autopilot in the Game Settings window.

3) Keyboard Control

Keyboard controls are only active if Joystick control is NOT selected (and you are not on autopilot mode).
