Bear Go Home

Gameplay and controls are designed around exploration and resource management. The player controls the bear from a third-person perspective. The bear has a stamina meter that depletes when sprinting or climbing and regenerates when stationary. The primary actions are movement, interaction, and item use. On keyboard and mouse, the W, A, S, and D keys control directional movement. The spacebar initiates a jump or climb over low obstacles. The left mouse button performs a contextual interaction, such as picking up berries, pushing a log, or activating a switch. The right mouse button uses a currently selected item from the inventory. The E key opens the inventory screen, where collected items like berries, sticks, and stones can be examined or combined. The shift key triggers a sprint, which drains stamina. The mouse controls the camera view. On a controller, the left analog stick moves the bear, the right analog stick controls the camera. The A button performs interactions, the B button cancels or backs out of menus, the X button uses an item, and the Y button opens the inventory. The left trigger activates sprint. The bear cannot attack directly; instead, the player must use items or environmental hazards to deter predators, such as throwing stones to distract a wolf or rolling a log to block a path. The game saves automatically at designated campfire checkpoints.
