The story unfolds through a captivating mystery, exploring horror, and delving into the characters' hearts. While featuring dark and sad themes, it balances these with absurd jokes and quirky conversations, making its genre somewhat ambiguous.
Players navigate a 2.5D world, interacting with numerous hotspots and NPCs. Puzzles are solved through object manipulation and a range of actions. The game's modern pixel art style features a rich color palette and extensive animations, including talking, walking, running, and more. Advanced lighting/shading techniques, particle effects, and parallax scrolling create a convincingly 3D atmosphere.
With six main characters and over 50 NPCs, each with distinct appearances and personalities, players control seven characters throughout the main story and even more in additional chapters. Characters exhibit expressive eyes, changing facial expressions, and unique behaviors. Player choices influence character moods and sometimes the plot itself, unlocking hidden scenes and rewarding multiple playthroughs.
Puzzles may be solved individually or require teamwork, utilizing the unique skills and personalities of each character. The game aims for psychological horror, so be aware that some scenes may be disturbing, anxiety-inducing, or extremely sad. Characters confront difficult pasts and frightening presents, requiring them to hide, make difficult decisions, and fight for survival. However, the player's choices can lead to the best possible ending, with the option to retry if needed.
