Pan-Pan is an open plain adventure that expands on the concept of environmental narrative storytelling with puzzle solving and exploration elements at its core.
Players praise the game's intuitive control scheme, which allows you to simply click and drag to move the character or click on a destination to have them pathfind there. The ability to rotate the camera by holding the right mouse button and moving the mouse is also crucial, helping you spot important visual cues hidden around the environment. Several reviews note that the controls are "excellent" and provide "great pathfinding", making navigation a smooth and seamless experience.
The puzzles are a core part of the gameplay, with reviewers describing them as "creative", "interesting", and providing a good level of challenge.

However, a few reviews mention that some puzzles were more "obscure" or "obtuse", requiring trial-and-error or lateral thinking rather than pure logic to solve. Overall, the consensus is that the puzzles are a highlight, rewarding players with a satisfying sense of accomplishment when solved.
Rather than relying on dialogue or text, the game utilizes environmental storytelling to convey its narrative. Players are free to explore the beautifully crafted open world at their own pace, interacting with charming characters and solving puzzles to progress the story.
