+## 🎮 GBA Controller Overlay
+
+On mobile, a semi-transparent Game Boy Advance-style controller overlays the bottom of the screen:
+
+| Control | Action |
+|---|---|
+| **D-pad** | Walk the player around the map |
+| **A button** (red) | Talk to NPC on map · Confirm answer in battle · Advance dialog |
+| **B button** (blue) | Talk to NPC on map · Advance dialog |
+| **SELECT / START** | Decorative — reserved for future use |
+
+The controller is hidden on desktop (≥900px wide) — use the keyboard instead.
+
+---
+
+## ⌨️ PC Keyboard Controls
+
+| Key | Action |
+|---|---|
+| **WASD / Arrow keys** | Walk player on map |
+| **E / Enter** | Talk to NPC · Confirm answer · Advance dialog |
+| **X** | Talk to NPC · Advance dialog |
+| **1 / 2 / 3 / 4** | Quick-pick answer directly |
+| **Space** | Advance dialog |
+
+---
+
+## 🗺️ Map & Walking
+
+- The player sprite walks freely around the overworld map using the D-pad or WASD
+- Walking animations change based on direction (left, right, up, down)
+- Press **A**, **B**, **E**, or **Enter** at any time to talk to the NPC and start the question
+- Tapping the NPC sprite directly also triggers the conversation
+
+---
+
 ## 💾 Save System
 
 Progress is stored in the player's browser (`localStorage`) automatically:
 
-- **Auto-saves** after every answered question and on map return
-- **Continue screen** appears on next visit if an in-progress save exists
-- Displays trainer name, question progress, and score on the continue screen
-- **New Game** option is always available (prompts confirmation to prevent accidents)
-- Save is cleared on game completion — ready for a fresh run
+- **Auto-saves** after every answered question and on map return — a 💾 icon flashes to confirm
+- **Continue screen** appears on next visit showing trainer name, progress %, and score
+- **New Game** option always available — prompts confirmation before erasing save
+- Save clears automatically on completion so the next run starts fresh
