Until Dawn/Controls

Exploration
Move the player character with psx: neutral lstick, just as in any action game. Turn the camera with psx: neutral rstick; if holding a source of light, this also allows you to shine the light wherever you desire. Approach a point of interest, usually an item, with psx: X and use psx: R2 for further interaction (for example, press psx: R2 to make the player character press a button or hold psx: R2 to make the player character pick up an object). If an object has been picked up, keep holding psx: R2 while moving psx: neutral rstick to turn it around. Use psx: touchpad with a swiping motion to flip through the pages of a book, unlock a smartphone, or light a match.

Decision-making
Hold psx: left rstick or psx: right rstick when presented with a decision. If either direction is not held long enough, the decision will not be made, giving you the opportunity to make another.

Action
QTEs form the bulk of the game's more dangerous segments. These will usually utilize the controller's face buttons (psx: T, psx: C, psx: X, psx: S) but may also involve a target during points where something must be hit or shot. In this case, aim with psx: neutral rstick and attack with psx: R2. Another of the game's more difficult yet important actions is actually complete inaction: the "don't move" prompt. Via the PlayStation 4 controller's motion sensors, the game will detect whether or not you remain still; if you make even a slight movement, your character will as well. In a case such as this, it is recommended to play in front of a surface, in which case you can place your controller onto it whenever prompted with "don't move" in an intense situation.
