Ok, thanks. I've played maybe an hour of DE so far and maybe it was the controls moreso than the perspective that felt awkward. I might just need to tinker or get acclimated. Since it's all story I want to play it on my TV or Steam Deck, so gamepad input rather than M+KB.

That's fair, yeah. I played it with M+KB but have heard many others complain about awkward controls on a gamepad, and can imagine it isn't ideal.
