Controls & Calculator Guide: Mastering the Cash Drawer & Shelf
Survival during your midnight shift depends heavily on quick service and sharp attention. Master every mouse interaction, learn how to hold right-click to check prices, and calculate Peso change without making costly errors.
In Narinig Mo Ba?, controls are centered on intuitive mouse interactions: Left Click to pick up or hand over goods, Hold Right Click over any shelf product to inspect its official price tag, and Hold Left Click to return misclicked items to the shelf. Giving change is done by clicking the desk's solar calculator to compute subtraction, then selecting coins (₱1, ₱5, ₱10, ₱20) and bills (₱50 to ₱1,000) inside the cash drawer.
