How to Open the Command Console in Paralives

If you want to bring up the command console in Paralives to enter cheats or other commands, press Ctrl + F1.

Can You Rebind Controls in Paralives?

Yes, you can completely rebind controls in Paralives for both keyboard and mouse. If you aren’t comfortable with the default scheme, you can set the actions to whatever you want. For a game like this, having a mouse with extra buttons for different features can be a lifesaver.

If you want to set everything back to default, just hit GO next to “Reset to Default” at the top in the Key Bindings section in settings.

Does Paralives Support Controllers?

No, Paralives does not have any native controller support.

You can use Steam Input to create a custom profile or access community ones, but the game will not display any controller prompts, and it may feel fairly awkward since the title is designed with keyboard and mouse in mind. It’s one of the most heavily requested features from the community, and we’ll have to see if it’s added during early access or not.
