MasterScavenger

Gameplay and controls are managed through a third-person perspective with a fixed camera angle. The player moves the Scavenger using the W, A, S, and D keys on a keyboard or the left analog stick on a controller. The mouse or right analog stick controls the camera rotation and aiming. The left mouse button or right trigger performs a primary action, such as attacking with a melee weapon or firing a ranged weapon. The right mouse button or left trigger activates a secondary action, such as blocking or using a consumable item. The inventory is accessed by pressing the I key or the Y button on a controller. Items are organized into categories: weapons, tools, consumables, and materials. The player can equip items by dragging them to the hotbar slots, numbered 1 through 6 on the keyboard or mapped to the D-pad on a controller. Crafting is performed at workbenches found in safe houses, requiring specific combinations of materials. The player’s status is displayed via a HUD showing health, hunger, thirst, and stamina bars. Stamina depletes when sprinting, performed by holding the Shift key or clicking the left stick. Interacting with objects, such as opening containers or climbing ladders, is done by pressing the E key or the A button. The game can be paused by pressing the Escape key or the Start button, which also allows saving the game to a single slot.
