The Hidden Ones is playable on PC and mobile, and this page covers what has been confirmed about its controls so far. A full button-by-button control list has not been published, so the details below are limited to the input options, the one mapping named in hands-on coverage, and the prompts visible on screen in the official screenshots. For how those inputs translate into fights, see Combat System.
Input Options
On PC, the game supports both keyboard and mouse and a controller, with full controller support confirmed for the PC build. That means players can choose whichever scheme they prefer rather than being locked to one. On mobile, the game runs on iOS and Android with a touch control scheme. The exact layout of that touch scheme, such as the placement of virtual buttons or any simplified inputs, has not been detailed.
Platform | Supported Input |
|---|---|
PC (Windows) | Keyboard and mouse; full controller support |
iOS / Android | Touch controls (layout not yet detailed) |
Controller Support
The PC store listing goes beyond generic controller support and names two PlayStation controller families specifically. Both DualShock and DualSense controllers are listed as supported, alongside full controller support in general, so a PlayStation pad plugged into a PC is an expected input device even though no PlayStation version of the game has been announced.
Listed Support | Notes |
|---|---|
Full controller support | The general listing, covering standard PC gamepads |
DualShock controller support | Named separately on the store page |
DualSense controller support | Named separately on the store page |
Keyboard and mouse | Supported on PC alongside controllers |
Touch controls | The mobile scheme on iOS and Android; layout not yet detailed |
What is still unlisted is any button-by-button mapping for those pads. See Release and Platforms for the platform picture the controller list sits inside.
Confirmed Inputs
Hands-on coverage named one mapping directly. The sidestep, also called the break-away maneuver, was mapped to a shoulder button on controller and to a keyboard key on PC. The break-away lets you cancel your own combo to sidestep out of danger, and it draws on stamina.
Action | Controller | PC |
|---|---|---|
Sidestep / Break-away | RB (right shoulder button) | Shift |
The official PC screenshots carry more than that. Two of the combat screenshots on the store listing render the game's on-screen prompt cluster with its keys labelled, so the PC bindings for the skill row are legible even though no written control list has been published.
On-Screen Prompts
The prompt cluster sits in the lower right of the screen during a fight, laid out as an X around a central slot. Three of its slots carry keyboard letters and two carry mouse glyphs. Space and Shift sit apart from the cluster, further to the left.
Prompt | What the Screenshots Show |
|---|---|
Q | A skill slot on the left arm of the cluster |
E | A skill slot on the top arm of the cluster. In one screenshot its icon carries a number; nothing on screen labels what that number counts |
R | The centre slot, drawn ringed and lit. Its icon differs between the two screenshots, so this slot is character-specific |
Mouse buttons | Two further actions sit on mouse buttons rather than keys. The lower of the two carries a clenched-fist icon |
Space | A separate diamond prompt to the left of the cluster, showing a leaping figure |
Shift | A separate diamond prompt beside it, showing a figure in a wide stance, which lines up with the sidestep mapping named in hands-on coverage |
What each prompt does is not written on screen, so the table records the bindings and the icons rather than the actions behind them. A complete button-by-button list, and the mobile touch layout, are both still unpublished. New players can get oriented on the Getting Started page in the meantime.
