So there is a way to avoid attacks? How do you actually attempt to do that? I thought in combat I could only aim but not also move the character? Or is it that I can cause flinching with shots (I couldn't tell if shots made things flinch)?
The character (well, the hand with the gun) moves horizontally along with the chrosshair. So, you control both - the crosshair and the character. Just move to the sides when an enemy attacks :)
