The gameplay is characterized as a unique blend of puzzle-solving and narrative elements, creating a new genre dubbed "puzzle simulator." Players find it relaxing and easy to learn, yet it challenges them to think critically to advance through the game.
“This game is, to me, a new genre; I henceforth name it the puzzle simulator, sort of what would happen if a visual novel tried to convince you that you are actually playing or a walking simulator trying to pass for clever gameplay.”
