The game combines text-based conversation, scene investigation, and point-and-click style exploration. Players move through locations, inspect objects, question characters, and piece together clues to advance the investigation. Certain sections switch to first-person shooting, where quick target acquisition and timing matter. Progress is mostly driven by story flags and discovered information, so revisiting areas and talking to characters again is often important.

Strategy
Examine every interactive spot carefully, since key clues are often hidden in small details or repeated dialogue. In shooting sections, take your time to track enemy movement instead of firing blindly. If progression stalls, revisit earlier locations and speak to NPCs again to trigger new information. Spread out your saves so you can return to different story points if needed.
