The Shape's toolkit
Michael Myers controls & keybinds
The game teaches Michael's powers one at a time in story mode — and then never shows you a consolidated control list. This is the PC default table, read on screen from a community video guide. Console bindings differ; where we don't know them, we don't guess.
