User Interface

The user interface is the main method to interact with the game.

**The User Interface** (UI) is a graphical overlay that gives access to many of the in-game features such as Chatting, Settings, avatar customisation and more.

The main features are the Navigation bar, the Corner ring, hints, the Chat panel, and the Quickbar. Other optional pop-up panels include Relationships and Game Statistics.

You can switch the UI on or off using the **=** key. This is useful for taking screenshots.
