Certain terminal segments even impose a timed element, creating a sense of urgency and challenge for players.

❤ Piece Together a Nonlinear Narrative

The game's narrative unfolds in a nonlinear fashion, with players assembling the full story by reading through diverse logs and interacting with two distinctive AI companions. This nonlinear approach encourages exploration, as players can reach multiple possible endings based on their choices. The ability to discover different conclusions based on player actions enhances the game's replayability and depth.

❤ Navigate Reliable and Unreliable Narrators

The two AI characters, Hyun-ae and Mute, serve as the player's guides, but they often present conflicting or biased perspectives on the events. This 'unreliable narrator' mechanic adds complexity to the storytelling, as players must carefully consider the motivations and agendas of the AIs to uncover the truth.

❤ Engage in Investigative Gameplay

At its core, the game tasks players with investigating the circumstances surrounding the downfall of the Mugunghwa, the lost generation ship. By reading through the various logs and files, players actively participate in uncovering the game's mysteries, rather than simply consuming the narrative passively. This investigative aspect encourages critical thinking and personal interpretation of the events that transpired.
