 Interact does the default action with an object on the screen.  If there is a secondary type of action, double click or long-press could activate that.  For example, interact might try to move through a door, double click would instead try to open the door.  Interact attempts to take the lantern, use attempts to light or douse the lantern. Interact does the default action with an object on the screen.  If there is a secondary type of action, double click or long-press could activate that.  For example, interact might try to move through a door, double click would instead try to open the door.  Interact attempts to take the lantern, use attempts to light or douse the lantern.
