❤ Gameplay Overview

The gameplay primarily revolves around exploring the various environments, interacting with characters and objects, and making dialogue choices that impact the unfolding five-episode narrative. Players take on the roles of two protagonists - a past janitor tasked with maintaining a cryogenic "Ark" facility, and a present-day investigator exploring the facility's mysterious circumstances.

❤ Exploration and Puzzle Solving

Players must carefully examine their surroundings, collect items, and use those items to solve a range of puzzles. The puzzles span simple object combinations to more complex logic-based challenges, though reviewers note the difficulty remains approachable throughout the experience.

❤ Meaningful Choices

The dialogue system presents players with branching conversation options, with the choices impacting relationships between characters and the ultimate outcome of the story. Reviewers highlight how these choices, while not drastically altering the core narrative, still feel meaningful and impactful.

❤ Player Agency and Consequences

Players' actions and decisions can influence the fate of the "descendants" - the cryogenically frozen survivors the protagonists are tasked with protecting. Keeping the descendants alive requires careful planning, as some player actions may lead to their demise.

❤ Nonlinear Storytelling

The game's narrative unfolds across two distinct timelines, with the player piecing together the full story by exploring the past and present. Reviewers praise this approach for creating a sense of intrigue and mystery.
