I’ll explain what Alone, the character you control, is capable of doing.
This guide introduces Alone’s main roles in the game, so if you’re unsure whether to choose Low or Alone, feel free to use this as a reference.
so please make use of it during your playthrough.
For Low’s explanation, click here.
Alone Can Use a Spanner
Alone can use a spanner to break walls, operate mechanical devices, or strike enemies at close range.
He is essentially a close-range action type.
It’s not just about swinging the spanner. He needs to hit walls multiple times, insert the spanner to operate machines, and continue performing additional actions afterward. If you enjoy slightly busy gameplay, you may find this character quite appealing.


How to Use the Spanner
Once the spanner is equipped, most platforms allow you to attack using the right trigger button on the controller.
You can also equip the spanner, grab a mechanical device, and perform the required actions according to the prompt.
While the spanner is equipped, jumping and grabbing are disabled, so unequip it first if you need to perform those actions.
You can check basic controls through the menu settings or via this article.
Which Character Should You Choose?
You won’t have any issues clearing the game with either character.
Alone specializes in close-range combat, while Low specializes in long-range combat. Ultimately, pick whichever playstyle you prefer.
However, it seems you can’t change characters mid-progress, so choose carefully. (You can switch when selecting a chapter.)
Certain achievements unlock based on each character’s accumulated actions, so completionists will likely end up playing both characters.
