You can add a language in the windows settings that uses the AZERTY layout (for example French) and you can then switch back and forth using Alt+Shift or Win+Space
Sorry I know it's really inconveniant :(
Thank you! I was able to play this no problem, and that was a waaaaay easier solution than AutoHotKey.
So the game is gorgeous, and a lot of fun. I ran into a bug after the (I think first) checkpoint with the two large torches. I kept dying to the rotating blade trap in between the two patrolling guards. After dying a few times, the first guard stopped patrolling and just faced to the left, which made progress impossible.
The only other thing I ran into was that it would be nice be able to zoom in, since it can be hard to see traps from the far distance.
In spite of those couple things, I still really like what I've seen so far. It feels like a top down version of the original Prince of Persia, and that's definitely a compliment.
