The game uses a side-scrolling perspective with exploration, jumping, combat, and environmental puzzles. Players move through spooky stages, collect items, trigger switches, and defeat enemies to open new paths. Different family members can be used for specific tasks, so progression often depends on choosing the right character and solving stage-specific obstacles.

Gomez Addams

A key member of the Addams family, often used for general exploration and progression.

Morticia Addams

The family matriarch, associated with specific interactions and alternate abilities in certain areas.

Wednesday Addams

The Addams daughter, suited to sections that benefit from agility or special interactions.

Pugsley Addams

The Addams son, sometimes needed for particular switches or route progression.

Learn each character's strengths and use them where the level design expects it. Watch for hidden passages, as many stages reward careful exploration. In combat, stay patient and avoid getting pushed into hazards, especially on narrow platforms.
