The game uses fixed-camera, room-by-room exploration as players search the mansion and surrounding areas for keys, items, and documents. Combat revolves around limited firearms, ammo conservation, and careful positioning against zombies and other monsters. The DS version adds touchscreen inventory handling, quick actions, and additional puzzle content, plus a reworked mode set and multiplayer mini-games. Progress is gated by save rooms, locked doors, and item-based progression, making route planning and inventory space management essential.

Conserve handgun ammo and use stronger weapons only for dangerous enemies or boss fights. Clear one area thoroughly before moving on so you do not waste time backtracking. Keep your inventory flexible with 2 to 3 empty slots for keys and important items. Use the map often, and rely on the traditional button layout in combat if touchscreen actions feel risky. Save before major encounters and prioritize routes that reduce contact with zombies.
Completing the game unlocks additional modes and bonus content tied to specific completion conditions.
