Players assume the role of Denis, a teenage heavy metal fan, who discovers a portal to an evil dimension alongside his friend Max. The gameplay revolves around navigating treacherous environments, engaging in combat, and solving puzzles as players explore this dark, twisted world.
Reviewers praise the responsive controls and satisfying platforming challenges, which require precise timing and execution to overcome various obstacles and enemies. In combat, players wield a melee weapon, typically a knife, to fend off the demonic creatures they encounter.

The game features a variety of puzzles, ranging from straightforward item-based challenges to more complex, logic-based conundrums. Reviewers highlight the well-balanced difficulty of these puzzles, which feel rewarding to solve without becoming overly complicated. Exploration is also a key aspect, as players can uncover a wealth of secrets and optional content hidden throughout the detailed, atmospheric environments.
Players have the freedom to make choices that can lead to different outcomes, including the ability to kill certain characters. This nonlinear approach, combined with multiple endings and hidden content, provides a considerable level of depth and replay value that many reviewers have found engaging.
