The game uses top-down exploration and turn-based battles. Players travel through towns, dungeons, and planets while advancing the story, talking to NPCs, collecting items, and triggering events. In combat, each party member can attack, cast spells, use skills, or items, and certain characters can chain combo techniques when used in the correct order. Characters gain experience to level up, learn new abilities, and equip weapons, armor, and accessories that affect stats and survivability.

Alys

One of the main protagonists, a seasoned hunter who helps drive the early story and becomes central to the larger crisis.

Chaz

A young central hero who grows into the role of the party's main adventurer over the course of the journey.

Rune

A powerful magus figure tied to the deeper lore and major revelations of the plot.

Wren

An important android companion who contributes both combat support and story significance.

Build up healing and area-effect magic early to make dungeon progression safer. Save high-cost techniques for bosses and elite enemies, while using normal attacks and basic spells for routine fights. Revisit NPCs often, since many clues, side details, and key items are hidden in dialogue. Against bosses, identify weaknesses first and use faster characters to finish off weakened targets or apply status effects.
