Ok so the game loaded fine, I punched the nurse bot into the cell door beams, and then I can not pick anything up. I have pressed the "E" key, tried walking around and reorienting myself to the item, pressed "E" again, and still nothing. Any ideas on what may be going on or how to fix the problem?

Have you found a solution to this problem? I just bought the game and I also cannot pick anything up with the E key. Everything else works fine though, which is weird.

Edit: Ah nevermind, seems that the Enter key works for picking up and putting down items. Strange.

Unlike the reference card says, you pick up items with "enter" and use things with "space" (not "e" and "z").
