Keyboard and mouse controls in LOVE Hotel Simulator
LOVE Hotel Simulator uses standard first-person PC controls on Steam. WASD moves your manager through corridors and guest rooms; mouse look aims interaction rays at props, guests, and UI prompts. Left click typically confirms use or placement; right click cancels or opens context actions depending on the active tool mode.
The interaction key (often E or F—check in-game bindings) picks up catalog items, talks to desk guests, and toggles staff stations. Hold Shift to sprint only if the demo enables it; many sims gate sprint behind upgrades to keep pacing deliberate. Crouch, if present, helps inspect low furniture alignment during room customization.
Inventory and hotel management menus usually map to Tab, I, or dedicated hotkeys shown in the pause screen. Learn these before hiring staff so you are not trapped in a UI while guests wait. Esc opens pause/settings where remapping should live—document your changes if Steam Cloud syncs configs in future builds.
Mouse sensitivity matters for fine placement. Lower sensitivity helps snapping decor to walls; higher sensitivity speeds desk-to-room runs. Pair this page with first-person navigation for camera comfort and interface menus for economy screens.
Steam Input and third-party tools can remap controls on Deck or unusual keyboards. Revert to defaults when debugging stuck interactions—mods rarely support rebinding layers cleanly in demos.
Accessibility: toggle invert Y if needed, enable subtitles for guest dialog, and use larger UI scale on 4K monitors. Report missing remapping options to Pocket Rocket Studio via Discord if official support threads open.
