(If at any point in the game you need to restore the default controls for any reason, you can do so by holding the Select button on a controller, or Backspace on the keyboard for 5 seconds. Restoring the defaults on keyboard does not restore the defaults on a controller, and vice-versa.)

For Non-Windows users:

The game works perfectly under Wine, that said, only Xinput controllers seem to work. Tested using Kubuntu 23.10
