How to Play - Controls Guide
Gakuran can be a complicated game, as the controls are a bit tricky and might not line up with other traditional Roblox games. We struggled with it ourselves when we started playing, but have gradually gotten better the more time we spent with it. To help you out as you begin to play, here is a complete controls guide on how to play Gakuran.

The movement controls are the same in Gakuran as they are in other Roblox games. The main learning curve comes with combat.
You can only begin fighting after you click the T key and enter a combat stance, which varies based on the fighting style you have on your character (and you can reroll these like your appearance items!)
From there, a major component to learn is how to open and bring up your phone. You'll be able to do this with the Alt key, and from there, you can use your mouse to navigate the smaller menu, text other players, keep track of the weather, or even play games.
