Players freely explore an expansive, interconnected island filled with hidden areas to uncover and friendly residents to meet. The game's world is "lovingly crafted" and "full to the brim with areas to discover," encouraging players to thoroughly scour the vibrant, whimsical environment.
Traversal mechanics form a core part of the gameplay, enabling players to climb sheer rock faces, glide between mountain peaks, and slide down slopes with a sense of "satisfying" and "smooth" fluidity. Reviews praise the seamless integration of these varied movement options, which allow for a great degree of freedom when exploring the island.
The gameplay loop revolves around completing quests for the island's diverse cast of child characters. These quests range from simple fetch-quests to more involved puzzles and challenges. Completing quests allows players to forge new friendships and unlock additional traversal abilities, further expanding the scope of exploration.
Scattered throughout the island are various craft supplies that players can collect and use to craft new abilities, such as a "ragdoll teddy" that enables creative traversal. This collectible system and ability-crafting mechanic provide an additional layer of gameplay depth and encourage thorough exploration.
