❤ Immersive Exploration and Environmental Storytelling

Players freely navigate an interconnected city environment, interacting with the world to uncover the game's mysteries. Thorough exploration is rewarded, as hidden areas, items, and secrets are scattered throughout the compact yet detailed setting. Players can discover shortcuts, alternate paths, and new areas by closely examining their surroundings and experimenting with interactive elements. This exploration-focused approach allows the game to utilize environmental storytelling, with the world itself revealing unsettling information about the nature of the "Fragmentation."

❤ Nonlinear Progression and Multiple Paths

The game's progression is largely nonlinear, giving players freedom in how they approach objectives and explore the city. There are often multiple ways to complete tasks or access new areas - whether it's finding the right item, triggering specific events, or discovering hidden entrances. This nonlinearity extends to the multiple endings, as players' choices and the order in which they complete objectives can lead to drastically different conclusions. The ability to revisit and experiment with various routes adds significant replayability, as players uncover new narrative details and paths on subsequent playthroughs.

❤ Light Puzzle-Solving

While exploration is the primary focus, the experience incorporates light puzzle-solving elements. These typically involve finding the appropriate item or triggering the correct sequence of events to progress. The puzzles strike a balance between guiding the player and allowing organic discovery, rarely becoming overly complex. Solving these puzzles to access new areas or unlock new information provides a sense of satisfaction for players.

❤ Character Interaction and Narrative Choices

Conversing with the strange, bird-like residents is an important part of the gameplay. Dialogues can provide clues, offer optional tasks, and shed light on the game's unsettling narrative. While dialogue options are limited, the choices players make during these interactions can influence the story and its multiple endings. This narrative-driven approach encourages players to engage with the game's world and characters, further enhancing the sense of immersion.
