The party travels across an overhead world map, enters settlements, and explores dungeons presented from a first-person perspective. Conversations, searches, items, and scripted discoveries gradually reveal routes and story objectives.

Combat is turn-based and party-focused. Characters can attack, defend, use equipment, cast spells, and manage their positions or resources. Experience and treasure improve the group, while quests and key items unlock access to new areas.

Explore towns carefully and speak with inhabitants more than once; important clues and progression items are often obtained through conversations rather than combat.

Keep a balanced party, conserve healing and spell resources, and return to earlier areas after gaining new information. Save frequently before entering unfamiliar dungeons or accepting risky encounters.
