The game progresses through chapter-based episodes. Between battles, players move through the base, trigger story scenes, and make timed LIPS dialogue choices. Combat uses an overhead tactical system with movement, attacks, defense, special abilities, and coordinated strikes. Relationships with the cast affect battle efficiency and branch content, while clearing chapters builds toward different ending outcomes.

Balance conversations and battle efficiency by choosing LIPS responses that fit each character's personality.
