Basic Controls
The Escapists 2 features simple controls, so there are few keys to memorize when using keyboard and mouse, allowing you to master them quickly.
Basically, all keys are assigned to the left side of the keyboard, so if you want to use both hands, assign keys other than WASD to your preferred positions on the right hand for more comfortable two-handed operation.
Alternatively, using a one-handed keyboard is also a good option.
