❤ Solving Intricate Puzzles

At the heart of the gameplay, players must solve a vast array of intricate, interconnected puzzles scattered throughout the sprawling ruins. These puzzles range from deciphering cryptic riddles inscribed on ancient tablets to uncovering visual cues and environmental interactions. Solving these puzzles is the primary means of progression, as they often unlock new areas, reveal hidden secrets, or provide the player with key items and abilities.

❤ Mastering Platforming and Combat

While navigating the ruins, players must precisely control the protagonist, Lemeza Kosugi, to overcome challenging platforming sequences. Jumps require careful timing, and techniques like wall-jumping are necessary to traverse the perilous environments. Additionally, players must learn to defeat a variety of dangerous enemies, each with their own attack patterns, through well-timed strikes and evasive maneuvers.

❤ Nonlinear Exploration and Discovery

The game world is highly interconnected, allowing players to explore the ruins in a variety of orders and uncover secrets at their own pace. This open-ended design encourages thorough exploration, as players may need to revisit earlier areas with new abilities to access previously blocked pathways and progress further.

❤ Emphasis on Observation and Note-Taking

Due to the cryptic nature of the puzzles, the game heavily emphasizes the importance of careful observation and meticulous note-taking. Players must record and cross-reference information encountered throughout the ruins, from translated ancient texts to the layout of rooms and the behaviors of enemies, in order to solve the most challenging puzzles.

❤ Unforgiving Difficulty and Rewarding Accomplishments

The game presents a punishing level of challenge, with players often facing obstacles and puzzles without clear guidance on how to overcome them. This high degree of difficulty can be daunting, but those who persist and analyze the game world are rewarded with a profound sense of accomplishment upon solving a particularly complex puzzle or defeating a formidable boss.
