The gameplay features a mix of brain teaser puzzles, hidden object elements, and adventure mechanics, though players noted a lack of introduction and some awkward mechanics, particularly those involving timing and physics.

- “Angelica Weaver is an exceptional example of this, blending traditional adventure and hidden object gameplay into an enjoyably ridiculous murder mystery, all held together with impressively high production values.”
- “While the story and the idea of looking back in time at a similar crime spree was a good idea, I did not like how you were just dumped straight into the gameplay without a real introduction.”
- “There is no map and the gameplay area is relatively large, so it is easy to get lost, miss one of the tiny mandatory items, and generally have the 'where the hell do I have to go now?!' feeling.”
- “Some of the mechanics were really awkward, especially the ones that require timing or utilize gravity/physics, like the magnet door maze or the bungee cord hook puzzle toward the end.”
