Forever Ago Controls — Keyboard, Controller and What Is Unknown

Forever Ago supports controllers fully, but it does not require one. The Steam store page lists full controller support, and it separately lists DualShock controller support and DualSense controller support, so standard gamepads and both PlayStation pad families are recognised. On Windows, keyboard and mouse is the default input method, and controller support sits alongside it rather than replacing it.

That is the entire documented picture of the game's input, and this page is honest about the limits of it. No key map is published on the store page or the official site, so specific bindings and any rebinding options are not documented yet.

Controller and Keyboard Support

The support tiers are the ones Steam itself defines. Full controller support means the game is playable start to finish on a pad, with no need to reach for a keyboard. The additional DualShock and DualSense entries mean the game reads the specific pad families correctly rather than treating them as generic devices.

• Full controller support: yes
• DualShock controller support: yes
• DualSense controller support: yes
• Keyboard and mouse: available as the default on Windows

If you have a choice, the pad is the safer pick for a game built around walking, looking and framing photographs, but nothing in the documentation says a controller is required or that the pad version is superior.

Accessibility and Comfort Options

The store page lists a set of options that change how you interact with the game, and they are the most useful controls information that is actually published. They are camera comfort, custom volume controls, playable without timed input, subtitle options, stereo sound and surround sound.

The standout is playable without timed input. It is the store page's clearest statement that the game does not rely on reaction speed, which fits a road trip adventure built on exploration, conversation and photography rather than action.

Full controller support	Yes	Playable end to end on a gamepad
DualShock / DualSense support	Yes	PlayStation pad families recognised

Subtitle options	Yes	Dialogue text can be configured

What Is Not Documented Yet

Several things a controls page would normally list are absent from both the store page and the official site. There is no published key map for keyboard or controller, no confirmation that bindings can be remapped, and no description of sensitivity or inversion settings for the camera or movement.

There is also no mention of touch input, motion controls or any alternative scheme. Where a player needs a specific binding to plan a setup, this page says not documented yet rather than inventing one. For the system the controls drive most directly, see the camera page; for how the input maps onto play, see the gameplay page.
