❤ Narrative-Driven Gameplay

Players take on the role of Mae Borowski, a college dropout who returns to her hometown of Possum Springs. The gameplay revolves around guiding Mae through the town's detailed, hand-drawn environments, allowing players to freely explore and interact with the surroundings.

❤ Exploration and Environmental Interaction

Traversing the environment is a core mechanic, as players can move Mae through the streets, enter buildings, and climb onto rooftops to discover new areas. Interacting with objects and scenery provides opportunities to learn more about the town and its residents, while also uncovering clues related to the game's central mystery.

❤ Character Interactions and Dialogue

In addition to environmental exploration, the gameplay heavily emphasizes character interactions and dialogue. Players can choose how Mae communicates with her friends, family, and other townspeople, with each conversation shaping the narrative and influencing the development of Mae's relationships. The dialogue is praised for its realistic and nuanced portrayal of the characters, who are presented as fully-realized individuals with their own personalities, histories, and perspectives.

❤ Minigames and Diversions

While the focus is on exploration and narrative, the game does feature occasional minigames and diversions to break up the pacing. These include a guitar rhythm game, a shoplifting stealth challenge, and a rogue-like dungeon crawler accessible from Mae's laptop. These interactive elements are generally well-received by players as enjoyable distractions that complement the core gameplay loop.
