Alien: Isolation is Creative Assembly's 2014 first-person survival horror game, published by SEGA and ported to macOS and Linux by Feral Interactive. Most of the time you are hiding rather than fighting, so the bindings that matter are crouch, peek, the held motion tracker and the radial crafting menu. The defaults below come from the game's own manual, which Steam serves for the PC release.
