The gameplay of "Devil’s Way" combines exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth mechanics within a psychological horror framework, set in an atmospheric environment.

- “The stealth mechanics, while serviceable, can feel slightly clunky.”
- “Gameplay is a walking simulator, but let's be honest, there are no puzzles here other than figuring out which door is correct because you cannot progress in some spots without doing so.”
