❤ Players Traverse a Randomized Labyrinth

The game primarily tasks players with exploring an elaborate, randomized labyrinth. Without much direct guidance, players wander at their own pace, discovering the various scenes, characters, and events that populate this dreamlike world. This open-ended, non-linear structure contributes to the game's atmospheric quality, as players never know what they will encounter next.

❤ Meaningful Interactions and Narrative Threads

As players explore the labyrinth, they come across a large cast of unique and memorable characters. Conversing with these characters triggers diverse narrative threads and events. Reviewers praise the game's writing for its philosophical depth and emotional impact, noting that player choices shape the outcomes and perspectives they witness.

❤ Optional Combat and Collectible Card Game

While exploration and narrative are the core focus, the game offers optional combat encounters with a "light rogue-like" style. Players can also engage in a collectible card game inspired by "Triple Triad," providing an additional layer of gameplay for those interested.

❤ Surreal and Nostalgic Audiovisual Presentation

The game's visual style has been a major draw for many players. Its unique, surreal art features over 400 animations and 500 images, with pre-rendered 3D cutscenes praised for their period-correct, nostalgic appearance that enhances the dreamlike atmosphere. Reviewers also highlight the immersive soundtrack and sound design.

❤ Embracing Unpredictability and Replayability

The randomized labyrinth and open-ended structure promote replayability, as players can approach the experience in diverse ways, focusing on exploration, narrative, or the optional combat and card game. The lack of a defined linear progression encourages players to embrace the game's unpredictable nature, discovering new content with each playthrough.
