You control a character using just the mouse, clicking to move and interact with objects and people in each scene. Your goal is to solve a series of puzzles by finding items and using them in the right places, often through trial and error. The puzzles involve logic and some conversational exchanges with other characters who might offer hints or necessary objects. The pacing is methodical, and the difficulty comes from figuring out the often quirky item combinations. It feels like a quiet, thoughtful puzzle box you work through screen by screen.
