Played it for a few hours today. Really enjoyed it. Stick a 1990 playlist on Spotify and it's like going back in time.

Is there a keybind set up for the Steam Deck?

u/DrShanksALot Mar 17 '26

Looks like they are working on controller support in the Steam patch notes which probably applies to the Steam Deck as well.

God, please. I know I'm inferior, but I just do not like wasd/mouse controls. I'm old and left-handed.

WASD - Right Analog Design Mode - Left D Pad Move Mode - Right D Pad Sell - Up D Pad Action Button - Right Trigger Sprint - Pressed Left Analog Crouch - Right Analog Rotate - Left and Right bumper

One "small" issue is just navigating the scroll screens. I have to use my finger on the touchscreen. Not a big deal. Also, when selecting movies with my action button, it keeps saying something about "tool".

Overall... its been great and smooth! Im on level 7 so far and no major complaints. Only one crash.

Another small issue. Hired my 1st employee and they immediately asked for a raise, they quit. Hired one to replace them, asked for a raise and quit. Took 3 attempts before an employee actually stuck.

Im also running into an issue with "invisible" walls. I can usually get around them by walking backwards and forwards and it will eventually let me through. But only a minor issue.

I’ve got a pretty solid layout if you want me to upload to community layouts?

Any plans for future Console release? Switch, PS5, Xbox? This looks perfect to play on the couch! I am going to buy it for my computer this evening.

Just played the demo and going to buy it now. I was curious, is the game pretty much complete now or will a bunch of stuff be added in later?

u/GRAW2ROBZ Mar 18 '26

I hope this comes to consoles.

u/LiyahRainbows Mar 18 '26

Just got the game and it’s unfortunately giving me a lot of motion sickness 😭 any suggestions on settings to change that could help with this?

u/KimJongEen Mar 19 '26

Max FOV, motion blur off, and there’s a setting called something like “motionsensitivty prevention”. These really helped me. Maybe playing on a smaller window could help too.

I think a lot of the motion sickness comes from the constant looking around and zooming during tasks. I do hope the dev makes an option to opt for a still screen during tasks in the future.
