Hi, thanks for checking out Suburbia Electronica and for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear you are having issues with the controls, we are aware that the game is not entirely playable with a controller, as you pointed out. Nevertheless, you can play through the vertical slice using the keyboard in combination with the mouse. Once you interact with something with the keyboard you can advance by clicking through the dialogues with the mouse.
I hope this helps you!
We know it's not an ideal experience, but I would like to point out that Suburbia Electronica was developed as a student project, which we used to experiment with different approaches and input systems. This left the result in an unfinished state.
Thanks again! Wish you a great time.
Marco (the guy who screwed up the controls)
