Is there a way to show the selectable objects if I'm not using a gamepad?
I'd love to use it!

If someone knows where this was, please link me. I can't find it.

Actually, I don't think there is. Here's a post from Yare explaining why gamepad players have the option:

People missed things all the time in Wallace and Gromit. Linear search prevents gamepad people from skipping things. There's always a reason behind the control decisions we make.

I always think part of the fun in adventure games is not knowing, actually seeking out what is and isn't selectable.

I'm playing adventures since 1990 or so, and it's always been something that bothered me, not knowing, which objects are relevant.

I very much appreciate that Telltale has only very few unimportant objects selectable. Anyone remembers Orion burger? They made every straw of grass selectable.

Personally, I think TTG games have too few hotspots, but that may just be me...
