Hello. I am having a lot of trouble understanding anything about this game, and while a number of these questions were answered in the HELP menu, they aren't actually working within my game. I am playing the desktop version of the game, only because I am unable to open the 'Bone.love' folder after I unzip the download (On a Mac computer). Anyways, onto the questioning::
1) How do I pick up items from the ground, and then place them in by bag? I.E. Lungs, Femurs, Plush Dolls, etc.
2) How do I select a bone on my characters body, and then how would I either drop it or replace it?
3) I am pressing theqwerty buttons for my death attacks, but am unable to actually do anything other than 'bump' into my enemies.
I may have more questions, and if so I will update this comment.
Wow, I can't believe I left out the pickup control from the help menu all this time.
1) Press G.
2) Press S to start socketing, press the number that lines up with the bone in your bag, then if its a bone that can fit in multiple spaces, any other than the ribs, press the number that corresponds to that space (it shows up in the chat log).
3) When you press a button to start an attack, the next movement key you press will select the direction of that attack. All starting attacks are one tile range.
It's incredible looking back at this and seeing how terrible at user interface design I used to be.
