[Gameplay] A "Piece of Note" (or Maxwell's Note) - Keybind Control

[Moonphos]

I've noticed, especially in the Bug Tracking Forum, that people sometimes doesn't really know about certain key binds and controls that are used for the keyboard, posting gameplay issues because items are behind objects.

Maybe a "Piece of Note", or "Maxwell's Note" (whichever suits the game's theme more), will be inside the player's inventory. -The note is received the moment the character wakes up, after Maxwell's speech... Or maybe Maxwell will leave a note lying behind when he vanishes. - When RMB is used on the note-in-inventory, it will display WASD, Q & E, Spacebar, maybe also 1-0, etc. During the reading, the game is paused.

The note can either be consumed after, or be kept, or be used as a fuel for fire. There will be no further use for it other than basic keybind instruction/introduction.

Personal Note - I didn't know either, and didn't check the forums too. I just mis-clicked "W" and hit "Q" and realise about this.

Edit - Missing a sentence

I like it. The only way I knew about it was, back in late August, there was a list of which keys do what. And then Excess made a guide.

Yes, it'd be a great way to have instructions, instead of them just appearing when you start the game, say. It'd fit to the theme and be original.

I think this will take care of once they introduce rebindable keys to the options menu (which they really really should, some people play on non-standard keyboards).
