Raise an Anomaly controls

Raise an Anomaly has not posted a custom keymap. It is a standard Roblox simulation with proximity prompts: cribs to steal, slots to hatch, food to feed, pads to collect cash. This page documents the bindings players should expect and the mistakes that look like “the egg is bugged.” Pair it with how to steal eggs and how to feed.

PC

Action	Typical binding
Move	WASD
Jump	Space
Camera	Mouse
Sprint	Left Shift if enabled
Interact (steal, hatch, feed, collect, upgrade)	E, or the on-screen proximity button
Drop / unequip	Backspace or the backpack

Keep interact off the same finger as forward if you overshoot cribs. The steal is a precision prompt at a rail, not a run-through trigger. Lower mouse sensitivity until you can track a parent’s head while strafing.

Shift-lock helps on the extract because you can run one direction and watch the parent behind you. If shift-lock makes feeding awkward in tight tubs, toggle it off inside the lab and on in the world.

Mobile

Action	Typical control
Move	Left thumb stick
Camera	Right drag
Jump	Jump button
Interact	On-screen prompt

The failure mode is covering the prompt with the camera thumb. Move the UI if Roblox allows it. Crouch the stick before the crib so you do not drift past the rail. After the grab, look at the floor of your exit path, not at the parent’s face — mobile camera lag punishes panic flicks.

Feed and bath prompts are even closer. Stand still. Tap once. Spam taps eat food stock or cancel the animation. X2 Food Stock is too expensive a lesson for a mis-tap.

Gamepad

Action	Typical control
Move	Left stick
Camera	Right stick
Jump	A / Cross
Interact	X / Square, or the prompt

Dead zones matter. A drifting left stick walks you out of the crib prompt. Recalibrate before a rare egg, not after.

Prompts that are easy to mix up

• World crib vs lab crib. World crib steals. Lab crib hatches or feeds. Same furniture language, different owner.
• Food vs cash. Both may glow. Face the baby to feed; face the bill to collect. Auto Collect, when it goes on sale, only solves one of those.
• Upgrade vs interact. Tycoon buttons sit on pads. Do not mash E on a pad while carrying an unplaced egg.

If nothing highlights, you are out of range or another player owns the prompt. Five-player servers mean occupied cribs. Walk away; see how to steal eggs.

Accessibility and comfort

Official art includes jumpscare-shaped adults: screaming mouths, hallway runners, forest grins. There is no published content warning beyond Roblox maturity (Minimal at the API snapshot). If those models are too much, steal yellow smilers and play with volume down. Nothing in the loop requires you to stare at Age 100.

Reduce graphics if cribs melt into purple void lighting. Steal games need edges. Frame rate beats shadows.

Practice drill

From getting started:

1. Walk to a crib without pressing interact. Confirm the highlight.
2. Press interact once. If it fails, you learned range.
3. Extract without looking at chat.
4. Place the egg with a single prompt.
5. Feed with a single prompt.

If any step needs three taps, your control layout is the boss, not the SCP. Fix that before the tier list.

Console and PC share the same servers. Do not assume a mobile player is griefing you when they stand still — they may be fighting the prompt. The lab is for upgrades, not for arguing about keybinds.
