The gameplay in the Space Pilgrim series, particularly in Episode III, is characterized by well-designed puzzles and challenges that enhance the classic point-and-click adventure experience.

- “This is the third of the Space Pilgrim games, and like its predecessors, although it's built using an engine intended for JRPGs, the actual gameplay is closer to that of the classic '90s point-and-click adventures: a variety of locations that can be visited, characters who can be spoken to, and items which can be picked up.”
