yup! They are not 100% random. When you switch areas it changes your keybinds according to the area. The game is playable because other team members and I have successfully finished the game, but I understand that the design not only is a bit confusing but the platforming is pretty difficult too.

Other team members would know what keys it switched too. You don't think players would find it annoying if they ask what the controls are and the game tells them to guess? Maybe it could work on a controller but keyboard? Way to many inputs. And I never got to the platforming because I couldn't move the character.
