1. Point: Use a pointer to highlight interactions
2. Focus: Use directional inputs to highlight interactions
Stories of Blossom has been designed to use minimal input.
Using the navigation mode 'Point' you can navigate and interact with the entire game with only the use of the pointer and select input actions.
Using the navigation mode 'Focus' you can navigate and interact with the entire game with only the use of a single directional key and select input actions.
When changing the current navigation mode, you will be prompted to move the pointer for 'Point' and a directional key for 'Focus'.
