Controller Notes
Full controller support is available including DualSense adaptive trigger feedback on connected PS5 controllers. Trigger resistance is mapped to spell charging — holding to charge a spell increases physical resistance on the trigger. Haptic feedback provides ambient vibration for environmental events and combat impacts.
Controller is recommended over keyboard for the full experience. The game was designed with controllers in mind and the witch sight and investigation interfaces are significantly more intuitive with a stick than a mouse.
Remapping
All inputs on PC are fully remappable through the settings menu. Controller remapping is available on both PlayStation and Xbox. There is no support for remapping on Switch.
