The gameplay in "Rush for Gold" is characterized by its basic mechanics and repetitive nature, primarily revolving around resource gathering and time management. Players engage in simple tasks that involve clicking and cursor movement, with limited depth and variety, leading to a quick sense of monotony. While the game offers a familiar structure, it suffers from bugs that can disrupt progress, further diminishing the overall experience.

- “The interaction and gameplay mechanics are quite simple, but this makes for ease of task completion and game progression.”
- “The game consists of two major locations: the town overview, where we can decorate the settlement, which is just for show, and the mission area, where we have to perform various tasks.”

The game's story follows a young woman whose family's business has failed, prompting her to seek fortune in Alaska by searching for gold to pay off creditors. While the narrative provides a backdrop for the gameplay, which involves resource collection and town decoration, it tends to become monotonous over time, despite some seasonal variations and a few new elements introduced in later missions. Overall, the story is considered passable but not particularly engaging.

- “According to the story (yes, there's one), we play as a young woman whose family business has gone bankrupt, so she seeks fortune in Alaska to find gold in order to pay the creditors.”
