Getting Started Guide

Endacopia is a surreal point-and-click adventure with horror elements, developed by AndyLand. You play as Mellow, a young boy who has lost all his senses and must navigate a nightmarish version of his home to find a way out. The game is set in a world that runs on foreign rules — nothing behaves the way you expect.

First Things First

Before you start, be aware that Endacopia contains mature content: body horror, psychological horror, jump-scares, blood, and violence. The Steam store page lists these warnings clearly. The demo is suitable for players who are comfortable with unsettling imagery.

The demo covers the opening 20 to 40 minutes of the full game, depending on how much you explore. Progress in the demo does not carry over to the full release.

Controls Overview

Endacopia uses both keyboard and mouse. Here is the short version:

• WASD — Move Mellow around the overworld
• Left-click — Interact with objects and confirm dialogue choices
• Right-click — Cycle through available actions (listed in the manual as “do what”)
• E or I — Open the inventory
• Esc — Close menus and pause

In first-person combat sections, the controls change entirely: move your mouse left and right to position Mellow’s fists, left-click to attack (using stamina), and right-click to block incoming attacks.

For a complete breakdown, see the Controls Guide.

The Opening Area: Mellow’s Room

You begin in what appears to be Mellow’s bedroom. This first room serves as your safe room and tutorial space. Take time to examine everything — the room is packed with small gags, interactive objects, and clues about the world.

Your first real goal is to find a way out of the house. The front door is blocked, so you need to explore other rooms and solve early puzzles to progress.

Key Mechanics to Understand Early

Interaction system: Almost every object in Endacopia can be examined, picked up, or used in combination with other items. Right-click cycles through available actions when you hover over something. Do not assume a door is just a door — in Endacopia, a door can be a computer program, a portal, or a monster in disguise.

Inventory: Items you collect go into Mellow’s pockets. Open the inventory with E or I. You can select items and use them on objects in the environment. Some items are used in specific combinations to unlock new areas.

Combat: Certain encounters put you into a first-person fighting mode. You have a stamina bar — attacks and blocks both cost stamina. Running out of stamina leaves you vulnerable. Watch the enemy’s attack rhythm and block before they strike, then counter with two or three attacks before backing off.

Mini-games: The demo includes at least one mini-game (the soccer ball kicking challenge). These are optional but often required to unlock items or progress. See the Mini-Games Guide for specific tips.
