Hello! Thank you for downloading Polymute! This is Linker, the game designer here! I just a few things to say!
Firstly, keep the .exe in this folder to avoid messing with the game's saving; if you need access to the .exe on your desktop, make a shortcut to it! 
Additionally, be sure to extract the .zip, as playing the game while it's still compressed can lead to some weird issues!

Some general control info:

- Move around by holding the Right Mouse button. This causes your character to move toward your cursor.

- Left Mouse can be used to interact with the world via your Actions, which you can select using the Scroll Wheel or Q and E.

- The Talk/Read Action lets you do what it says on the tin: talk and read by right clicking on NPCs and objects.

- The Examine option lets you look at NPCs or objects, and, if it's your first time examining them, learning their Form, which can then be selected in the Form menu.

- Hitting TAB or Middle Mouse will bring up your Form menu, which you can navigate with the scroll wheel or by left clicking on the little down arrow in the bottom right corner. Here, you   can select Forms to turn into using the Transform action.

- ESC will bring up the title menu, from which you can access the Options menu or start a new game. The game saves automatically, so bringing this up won't erase your save or anything like that.

- To Transform into your selected Form, either use Left Mouse on yourself or hit SPACE with the Transform Action selected.

- The 1-0 keys on the keyboard will let you change your HUD/UI color.

Enjoy!
