❤ Puzzle Solving

The puzzles in this sequel often feature multiple layers, requiring players to consider various perspectives to progress. For instance, certain puzzles can be approached from the viewpoint of different robotic characters, each with their own unique insights and abilities. This mechanic encourages experimentation and rewards players for closely examining their surroundings and interacting with objects and characters.

❤ Navigating the World

Exploration plays a vital role, as players traverse a virtual network, a robotic butler's home, a militaristic base, and a sentient companion's vessel. The meticulously crafted environments invite thorough examination, as new abilities or character perspectives unlock access to previously inaccessible areas, allowing for backtracking and revisiting locations.

❤ Combat Mechanics

While puzzle-solving remains the core focus, the game also features combat sequences that introduce two distinct mechanics: manual aiming and target lock-based aiming. These approaches require different skills and strategies, allowing players to choose the combat style that best suits their preferences. The combat sequences are seamlessly integrated, serving as a means to progress the story and overcome obstacles.

❤ Perspective Shifting

One of the game's standout features is the ability to inhabit different robotic characters, each with their own personalities, abilities, and perspectives. Players control the AI protagonist, Arid, as she enters and interacts with these various hosts, solving puzzles and navigating their individual challenges. This perspective-shifting mechanic adds variety to the gameplay and provides a deeper exploration of the narrative's themes.

❤ Accessibility Options

The developer caters to players with different skill levels and preferences by offering an "Easy" mode that minimizes the combat elements. This accessibility option allows a wider audience to immerse themselves in the game's compelling narrative and thought-provoking themes without being hindered by challenging combat sequences.
