Hello! Apologies for the tutorial not being clear enough. In Hands Of Time, your only source of control over your characters is by the action cards you can see by left clicking on them. They each have actions that help you move them around the board, although you can't pick their target positions specifically.
It's odd that clicking your allies didn't work :( I'm sorry to hear. If you're willing to try it again, I would recommend clicking around the lower half of their body, as our click system was handled by the grid cells on which they stand, which aren't as tall as their sprites.
Thank you for trying our game and giving feedback!
