“This is a truly UNIQUE case of an old-school game from 1999, which still feels interesting, fun to play and not really outdated! Speaking of vibes and sense of humor - this game is a pure gem nowadays, when we have…”

You can remap the controls from the traditional arrow keys layout to a more modern WASD, as well as zoom out by holding CTRL+down arrow (or S if you've rebound) Plays well, I can tab out without issue.
