Quick Answer: The Control Scheme

Belmont's Curse ships with full controller support (officially listed: Full Controller Support, Gamepad Recommended, and DualSense support) alongside a keyboard-only option. Rose's kit maps cleanly onto both: whip attacks and swing-traversal on the face buttons and triggers, Arcana spells on quick-cast inputs, and dodge/movement on the sticks or WASD. Exact default bindings are best confirmed in the in-game settings, which include customizable volume controls and adjustable difficulty.

Whip-swinging is the traversal skill to bind comfortably first — it opens movement routes the roll cannot reach, and the demo is the ideal practice range.
