❤ Exploration and the Third Eye Mechanic

As Koishi Komeiji, players primarily explore the game's surreal environments and solve puzzles by utilizing her "Third Eye" ability. This mechanic allows players to unveil hidden layers of reality, revealing additional details and items that would otherwise remain invisible. For instance, activating the Third Eye might transform seemingly innocuous objects into more unsettling and disturbing forms, encouraging players to thoroughly examine their surroundings.

❤ Puzzle Solving

The puzzles, while straightforward, require players to think critically and experiment with the available items and interactions. One example is combining a specific item with an object to progress to a new area. While the solutions are not overly complex, they contribute to the game's overall sense of unease and mystery, as players must piece together the appropriate actions.

❤ Item Management and the Third Eye Mechanic Limitations

However, overusing the Third Eye comes at a cost, as it causes Koishi's eye to become increasingly bloodshot. Players must manage a limited supply of "eyedrops" to relieve this strain, adding an element of tension and resource management to the gameplay. This limitation prompts players to strategically use the Third Eye, heightening the game's atmospheric and psychological horror elements.

❤ Nonlinear Progression and Branching Paths

Additionally, the game offers a degree of nonlinearity, with branching paths and choices that can lead to multiple endings. While the translation issues sometimes obfuscate the clarity of these options, the ability to explore alternative narratives provides an incentive for players to experiment and uncover the various outcomes.
