The Automap
The automap is a top-down representation of the current map and your position within it. It may be opened at any time during a game by pressing the TAB key.

The thick red lines in the automap indicate solid walls, while brown lines indicate a change in the floorâs height and yellow lines a change in the ceilingâs height.
While the automap is open, there are a few additional controls:
