This game is pretty simple controls-wise to play.

Keyboard:
- Use A and D to move left and right. These will be your main movement keys.
- Hold Shift with A or D to run left or right. This will speed up your movement.
- To bring up your inventory when you're away from an interactable object, press Space.
- To interact with objects or people, to move dialogue along, and to select something in the menu, use E.
- Shift is also used to exit puzzles.

Remember - you can rebind the keys to whatever you want to use!

This game is also controller friendly (but I don't own enough different controllers to give a comprehensive enough guide on that, so comment below if you're really stuck!).

There are a total of nine achievements in this game.

These are unavoidable, gained simply by playing through the game from beginning to end.






These are easily missed, and you should keep an eye out especially for them.

Biggest thanks go to Jesse Makkonen, the developer. It's an amazing feat that he's managed to create this game completely on his own in just a year and a half! I really enjoyed playing through, and being the first to discover all the achievements independently :) Not only that, but he gave me the opportunity to proof-read and edit the dialogue / announcements - what a responsibility :O but it was super interesting, so thanks Jesse! Please, check out his other games, follow his social media accounts, and join his discord server:

Thanks also to the other translators - it has been so much fun discussing DISTRAINT 2 and playing it together. Their hard work has enabled non-native English speakers to enjoy the game fully in their own respective languages, and I am awed by the sheer amount they've done :O Thanks for putting up with me! :)

Special thanks to Vorador for translating this into French for me - merci à vous! He's been a wonderful and entertaining person to work with :) Check out his other guides / profile here:
