PATCH NOTES v1.2.0

New Features

• The game now supports end-to-end controller play (Steam Input) on PS4/PS5, Xbox. Discarding any custom version of the steam input configuration is required;

• Stick targeting: free world cursor and camera-relative targeting in the isometric view, with a magnet that snaps to doors and interactive props;

• Enemy targeting (XCOM-style): shoulder buttons cycle through visible enemies clockwise around the player. Confirm to lock onto an enemy, then use the shoulder buttons to cycle through body parts (legs/torso/head). A second confirm executes the attack. Cancel steps back one level at a time (body part > enemy > action);

• Covers all action paths: Move, Attack (single-target/cone AoE), Melee, Push, Switch Places, Reposition (two-stage), Grappling (Pull/Jump), Explosives, and Change Weapon;

• D-pad navigation for the action stack and all menus (pause, inventory, arsenal, market, wardrobe, mission selection, and dialogs);

• Moving the right joystick horizontally rotates the camera, while moving it vertically adjusts the zoom. Pressing the left joystick makes the camera focus on the player;

• Left Joystick as mouse pointer on menu UI screens (inventory grid, settings, save/load);

Added
