The game uses a 3D action-adventure structure with top-down and angled camera perspectives. The core loop revolves around avoiding enemy sight lines, using cover, and making use of noise and equipment to move through each area. Players rely on stealth tools, suppressed weapons, communication calls, and boss encounters, while higher difficulties and ranking elements encourage replayability.

For boss battles, watch attack windups carefully and use the arena's supplies and interactable objects. Check Codec calls often, since many hints and story clues are delivered there.
