Scrooms Controls: Inputs and Interface
Find the inputs used to equip items, interact, tune and control a catch in Scrooms, with device differences kept explicit.
On PC, use E for the displayed interaction and G for the backpack. Catching switches from a timed click to held movement. On touch, use the matching screen prompt and hold-and-slide gesture. Check which menu is open before treating an input as broken.
PC and touch inputs are documented in the cited October 2026 guides. A complete console button map is not established here; use the game’s displayed prompts for that device.
