Sentient/Controls

Sentient mixes elements of point-and-click adventure games and space-ship simulators so the controls are a bit more complex than your typical console game. The PlayStation version has ten preset control-schemes ("configs") selectable from the "control" option on the main menu; you cannot remap buttons individually. Also note, on the PlayStation version, one of the buttons serves as a "shift" function which modifies the function of other buttons while it is held down.

Primary Functions
The control presets recognise the following basic player actions:

Config 4
Switches the shoulder button functions.

Config 5
Moves Access Screen from psx: X to psx: R2.

Config 6
Moves Open Door to psx: X and moves psx: C, psx: S and psx: T.
