The game combines top-down exploration with first-person shooting segments. Players move through ship corridors and compartments, collect keys, ammo, and healing items, and solve simple environmental puzzles to advance. Encounters switch into a real-time combat screen where timing and aiming matter. Progress is fairly linear, with backtracking used to unlock new areas and gather needed items.
