Movement and controls
This guide explains how to move in each view and how to adjust the controls to suit you.
Movement in SPKTRM happens in the game. In the preview your real location is not used, and steps are estimated from how far you move in the game.
Keyboard and mouse
In the 3D view:
- Use W A S D to walk. The arrow keys also work unless you turn that off.
- Drag anywhere to look around.
On the 2D map:
- Drag your cyan pin across the map to walk.
- Drag the map itself to pan.
Default keys
| Action | Key |
|---|---|
| Move forward / backward / left / right | W / S / A / D |
| Confront / interact | E |

Touch
In the 3D view, push the movement stick to walk and drag anywhere else to look around. Depending on the screen, you may instead touch and hold the game area to walk forward, drag to look, and release to stop — the Help panel shows the method for your device.
On the 2D map, drag your cyan pin to walk and drag the map to pan.
