Hello! I'm very computer illiterate and am trying to play this game.

When I booted it up it said it found three keyboards. How did it find those, how do I connect keyboards?

Also, how do I exit the game? There was no mouse on the screen and the escape button didn't do anything I had to hard shutdown my computer to close it.

Thank you so much, the game looks great and I'm super excited to jump in!

Hey, I had the same problem, in my case the game found 4 keyboards. I do have another bluetooth keyboard paired, but it was not connected... Hopefully Jonah will be able to clear it out.

About exiting game: shortcut Alt + F4 should do the trick :)

It's possible that the HID code is incorrectly detecting other devices as keyboards. That shouldn't stop you from playing... unless keyboards you have connected (or paired) aren't showing up? Let me know if that's the case and I can look into it.

What's stopping me playing is 5 keyboards getting detected, with my only option being to disable the only keyboard that actually exists. I can't press keys on spurious/virtual keyboards to remove them.

Got it. A bunch of folks have responded similarly. Looking into it. Thanks.

You should be able to connect multiple keyboards either physically with USB cables or via Bluetooth. Once they are connected properly, run the program and they should be detected.

I thought esc should work, but I can look into it. Are you on Windows? A hacky way to stop it is by pressing the windows key, right-clicking on the program and quitting from there.

Thanks for giving it a go!

Let me know if this new version works for you. The exit problem should be fixed as well. Sorry for the issues!
