uh...didnt the game mention that the interaction button is z? try dedicating it to another button in the games settings if it still doesnt work and try again...
if the issue still persisted, answer my comment and tell some more details about the problem and i might be able to fix it!
im so sorry for the inconvenience.

I tried it again and I could tell you more.
What happens is the key bindings show up as blank at the game start text.
Pressing Z, or any other key, doesn't work when standing near the first lab door, or any door.
Pressing X shows the list of key bindings, which show blank just like it does for me at the very beginning of the game.
I could provide a screenshot in case if you like of the game text showing blank key bindings.
It's very bizarre, I never saw such a strange issue in any game in this jam, and from the looks of it the issue might only be affecting me for this specific game only.
Since maybe it's not affecting other people playing this game, I might continue to skip giving any rating for now unless I could somehow get it to work.
Not sure what might be the issue, what do you think might be wrong?
normally this problem is because of corrupted save files not containing what key those assignments bind to
try and see if there are any files called save in this directory:
"AppData\Roaming\Godot\app_userdata\Empty Shift\saves"
if there is, delete it and open the game again
another solution could be you yourself going in options in the main menu and setting the keys up again which might work
let me know of what happens, i have to fix it if its an issue from the game!
