==Movement Controls==
This page details the keyboard and mouse controls and shortcuts for playing [[inZOI]]. As of the [[Early Access]] launch, controller support is not available but planned for the future.
[[File:movement controls1.png|350px|right]]
Controlling your [[Zoi]] can be done primarily through '''WASD''', with the option to point and click '''go here''' to move your Zoi as well.


You can move your Zoi using the keyboard keys '''[W], [A], [S], and [D]'''.
The game primarily uses keyboard and mouse, offering two main styles for controlling your [[Zoi]]: direct control using '''[W][A][S][D]''' keys, and point-and-click movement using the '''[Left Mouse Button]'''.


Or simply '''left-click''' with the mouse to move to a [[location]].
==Play Mode Controls==
These controls are used during live gameplay when controlling your [[Zoi]]s and interacting with the world.


While your Zoi is moving, press '''[Shift]''' to make them run.
