Valor Mortis Controller Support and Accessibility Options

What the listing confirms

The Steam listing for Valor Mortis carries an unusually specific set of input and audio categories, which is useful precisely because it is specific. These are the developer-and-Valve-advertised features, read from the store data on October 14, 2026.

Two entries deserve emphasis. Full controller support with named DualShock and DualSense support means a controller is a first-class input, not a fallback for PC. And "Playable without Timed Input" is a genuine accommodation rather than marketing language — it is a category Valve applies to games that do not require inputs on a clock.

What the listing does not confirm

Just as important, and the reason this page exists as its own page rather than a paragraph: several features people expect by default are not among the advertised categories.

Read that table with the right weight. A Steam listing is a marketing surface with a finite set of checkboxes, and the absence of a category means the feature is not advertised — not that it is absent from a settings menu. Remapping is the case in point on this page: the developer has described it as an option and the listing still omits it. But when you are deciding whether a game will work for you, an unadvertised feature is one you cannot count on, and that distinction is worth keeping — which is why the section below separates what has been said from what has merely not been listed.

What players are asking for

Control remapping and accessibility options are two of the more visible requests in the game's Steam discussions and reviews. The threads raising them are not confined to launch week: the earliest run back to the June 2026 demo period, so the demand predates the released build rather than being a reaction to it.

One of the two has an official answer, and it is worth separating from the other.

In a December 21, 2025 developer update, One More Level addressed keyboard bindings directly, in response to playtest feedback:

"Keyboard players often mentioned that blocking with CTRL or using ALT was not comfortable for them. We're gonna take another look at the default layout but also highlight the option to rebind controls. We'll also make sure that custom bindings properly save between sessions."

Two things follow. Rebinding is described as a feature that exists and will be made more prominent — not as a request the studio is considering. And the follow-up commitment, that custom bindings save between sessions, is the kind of detail a studio only states when the bindings are already in the build it is discussing. A separate pre-launch playtest announcement also lists "Keyboard remapping and multiple controller presets" among the features added to that build.

What that does not change is the store listing: remapping is still absent from the advertised categories. A feature can exist without being advertised, and this is the clearest example on this page of the difference between the two.

How to read Steam categories

Steam categories are worth understanding before you lean on them, because they carry different weights.

• Some are functional and enforced-ish. "Full controller support" and "Playable without Timed Input" describe how the game can be operated, and a developer misrepresenting them invites complaints.
• Some are descriptive. "Custom Volume Controls", "Subtitle Options", "Stereo Sound" and "Surround Sound" describe the presence of standard settings.
• Some are distribution features. Steam Cloud, Family Sharing and HDR describe service integration rather than gameplay accommodation.

None of them is a complete accessibility statement, and the industry has been converging on richer accessibility documentation precisely because store categories are not that. Until a developer publishes an accessibility breakdown, the store categories are the most you can verify from outside the game — and for Valor Mortis, that is what the table at the top of this page contains.
