Description

### 🛠️ **Build version:**
`v0.120.0`

### 📔 **Issue Description:**
In the Genesis Plaza theater, the Focus Mode interaction presents incorrect and misleading on-screen instructions, and the actual behavior of the input controls does not match what is displayed.
When entering Focus Mode on the theater screen, a UI hint appears below the screen indicating: “Escape or Right Click to lock the cursor”.
This message is both incorrectly worded and functionally incorrect. The described inputs do not unlock the cursor nor exit Focus Mode as expected, causing confusion for users. Additionally, the actual input that exits Focus Mode (Left Click) is not mentioned anywhere in the UI.

The issue is reproducible on both Windows and Mac (trackpad), and affects basic usability and clarity of the Focus Mode interaction.

### 👣 **STR:**
1. Go to **Genesis Plaza**.
2. Approach the theater screen.
3. Left-click (mouse) on the screen to enter **Focus Mode**.
4. Observe the on-screen instruction displayed below the screen.
5. Attempt to exit Focus Mode using:
- `Escape`
- `Right Click`
6. Try interacting using `Left Click`.
7. Repeat the test on:
- Windows (trackpad-mouse)
- Mac (trackpad-mouse)

### ✔️ **Expected Result:**
- On-screen instructions should be clearly written and accurately describe the correct controls.
- If the UI indicates that `Escape` or `Right Click` unlocks the cursor, those inputs should work accordingly.
- The action that actually exits Focus Mode should be clearly communicated to the user.

### ❌ **Actual Result with evidence:**
- The instruction text is misleading and/or incorrect.
- `Escape` nor `Right Click` do not unlock the cursor nor exit Focus Mode.
- `Left Click` exits Focus Mode, but this action is not indicated anywhere in the UI.
- On Mac and Windows trackpad, both left and right clicks toggle Focus Mode, increasing confusion.
- Resulting UX is confusing, unintuitive, and inconsistent with the displayed instructions.

#### 🖥️ **Operative system and additional Notes:**
