❤ Exploration and Scavenging

You control the character of John as he explores the snowy, post-apocalyptic world. Your objective is to scavenge through the ruins of an abandoned town and the surrounding areas, collecting the necessary materials and artifacts to build a rocket. During the exploration phases, the game takes on a top-down, 2D perspective. You must navigate the environment, which becomes more accessible over time as you acquire new equipment like snow boots and flashlights. The exploration is fairly open-ended, allowing you to search at your own pace, though there is a time limit each day before you must return home. As you explore, you'll encounter the lingering spirits of those who perished in the plague. These ghosts provide additional context and backstory, and you can choose to help them with various requests. Collecting these "soul stones" is an optional side objective.

❤ Rocket Building and Management

When not out scavenging, you take on the role of Fei in the rocket factory. Here, the game shifts to a more visual novel-style presentation, with character portraits and dialogue. You can then use the materials gathered by John to craft new tools and components needed to assemble the rocket. This rocket building section is more linear, as you work towards the goal of launching the rocket. However, there is still an element of progression, as new areas of the factory become accessible and more advanced rocket parts become available.
