Sentinel: Descendants in Time Hints
Movement and cursor interaction
Movement within "Sentinel" is accomplished through two mechanisms. The first controls movement within a particular setting -- i.e., when you are standing at one specific location. You can pan 360-degrees horizontally, look up, look down, and interact with objects in the immediate vicinity by using the mouse. Horizontal and vertical panning is accomplished simply by moving the mouse in the direction you wish to "look". When you are near enough to an object that can be interacted with (pushed, clicked, lifted, etc.), the cursor will change to indicate that interaction. At that point, clicking the mouse will execute the action.
In some cases, the result of clicking on an active object will be to move into a "close-up" view that will turn out to be a puzzle by itself. Most of the puzzles are completely mouse-driven -- that is, they will require nothing more than clicking on the right buttons, levers, switches, etc. in the proper manner.
All movement between locations is accomplished through a combination of keyboard keys (using the familiar "W-A-S-D" keys for moving forward, left, backward, and right, respectively). This may require two hands to perform the exact movement that you desire (the left hand to get to the proper spot, and the right hand to position your viewpoint within that location).
If the two-handed approach becomes too cumbersome, there is also a "short-cut" for movement, using the right mouse button. However, this is limited only to forward movement. Hold the right mouse button down, and then use the mouse to move to a new location, rather than having to use the "W-A-S-D" keys.
