A field guide to the CrazyGames build

How to play

This build has no tutorial, no keybind screen and no instruction beyond a headphone icon. This page is the control scheme, worked out by pressing things.

The booth screen with Edith and Ethan at their table, the radio on the left, and the grey arrows at both edges of the frame. — **What this shows** the two grey arrows at the frame edges — the only way the game lets you move between screens. **Captured** 2026-11-06 **Client** web build 2026-11-06 Plate 9

What you do

action	how	what it does
advance dialogue	click the small arrow in the dialogue box	prints the next line; text also types out on its own
move along the room	click the grey arrow at the left or right edge	steps one screen left or right
interact	click the person or the object	opens their dialogue, or a close-up of the object
skip the opening	click `CLICK TO SKIP INTRO` during the animatic	cuts the intro short
close a close-up	click the `X` at the top of it	returns you to the room
mute	the speaker icon at the top right of the canvas	toggles sound

That is the whole scheme. There is no inventory bar, no cursor mode, no right click, and no numbered choice menu that we have found — conversation replies appear as ordinary text lines in the same box.

The arrows are the room

The diner is several screens wide, and the arrows are how you see it:

screen 1: the counter and Maggie
screen 2: the counter on the left, the radio on its side table, the red booth on the right
screen 3: Edith and Ethan facing each other
screen 4: Juan alone at a table, with an empty booth in front of him

An arrow appears only when there is a screen in that direction, so the edges of the room can be found by looking for a missing arrow.

What nothing tells you

that the goal line at the top left is the objective, not decoration
that clicking a person's body is how you talk to them — there is no highlight and no hover cursor change we could see
that the booth you sit in is decided by the story, not by your click: both guests refuse you with their own line

Not tested

whether a keyboard shortcut advances dialogue (Space and Enter were not enough to prove either way)
whether a controller works
whether the arrows respond to the scroll wheel
what the game does if you click the same person twice in one screen
