It's common that DOS games have a keyboard and some use both keyboard & mouse to play the game. But ShadowCaster seems to only be controlled by mouse - for being a first-person shooter, this is quite tiresome. Anyone know how I can play with a keyboard?

Yes, but not WASD. You have to use the arrow keys or the number pad.

I suggest using the number pad, as 1 and 3 let you strafe, and both 8 and 5 will move you forward.

If you're having problems getting it to work try editing keyboardlayout=auto in the config as per the DOSBox manual if you're not using a keyboard with the standard 101 layout, or if you're not running a Windows OS.
