To move your view in first person, move your mouse.

Your movement is relative to your look direction.

Zoom¶

Flashlight¶

The flashlight allows you to see in dark or shaded places. Toggle it using the F key.

Third person view¶

Toggle between first person view and third person view using the Tab key.
