    PAGE: Moving. Use WASD, plus QE to move in the six hexagonal directions. Click the middle mouse button on a spot to walk there on your own.
    PAGE: Looking around. Use the left and right arrow keys to rotate the camera. Right click on anything in the world to open the action menu, where you can look at it, see its info, open containers, use doors and ladders, or move to it.
    PAGE: Items. Drag items with the left mouse button to move them between the ground, your hands and your bags. Double click an item to pick it up. Right click an item to use it, use it on something else, or read it, as you are doing now.
    PAGE: Item stacks. Dragging a stack moves all of it. Hold Shift while you start dragging to move a single item, or hold Ctrl to move half of the stack.
    PAGE: Fighting. Double click a creature, or right click it and choose Attack, to make it your target. Press Escape to stop attacking. A weapon held in your hands replaces your bare handed attack. If you hold more than one, right click one to choose as primary weapon.
    PAGE: Abilities. Weapons, books and other items can grant abilities. Use them with the number keys 1 to 0 on your ability bar. You can also click a slot on the bar. The side buttons of the mouse also trigger the first two abilities.
    PAGE: Carried items. Some item abilities can be used while the item is only carried in your bag, but others work only when the item is wielded in your hands. Which is which is for you to discover as you explore.
    PAGE: The ability bar. Drag a slot on the ability bar onto another slot to swap them and reorder your bar. Drag an item from your inventory onto the bar to make a shortcut to its "Use on" action.
    PAGE: Item shortcuts only work for items that can be used on something, and only while the item stays in your inventory. Drag a shortcut off the bar to remove it.
    PAGE: Survival. You grow hungry as time passes. Right click food in your inventory and choose "Use" to eat it.
    PAGE: Other keys. Press P to pause the game. Press Tab to open the chat window and Enter to send a chat message. Good luck, adventurer.
