❤ Exploration and Navigation

Players can freely explore the large, open world of Sector 49, switching between first-person and third-person perspectives to navigate the abandoned landscape. An armlet allows players, in the role of protagonist Sam, to quickly drag themselves in the direction of the mouse cursor, making traversal more efficient through the vast, desolate environment.

❤ Puzzle-Solving and Collectibles

Solving puzzles is at the core of the gameplay. Players must carefully observe their surroundings, collect clues and 'consciousnesses,' and use deductive reasoning to progress. Some puzzles require specific tools, such as a mask to reveal hidden items. Collecting all 10 consciousnesses is the ultimate objective, as this will open the portal for Sam to escape.

❤ Investigative Elements

The game emphasizes investigative gameplay, as players must thoroughly examine their environment and piece together clues to uncover the mysteries of Sector 49. Collected clues are recorded in the player's mind and can be reviewed, though the deduction system has been noted as needing improvement, as making the appropriate connections between clues can be challenging.

❤ Replayability and Continuity

'Sector 49' is part of the larger 'Abnormal1999' game series, and players can start at any episode while still experiencing a fresh narrative. The game features a continuous update model, with new episodes released monthly, allowing players to follow the ongoing story of protagonist SU and her multiverse adventures.
