The game presents a screen-based adventure in which Thad investigates a series of disturbing incidents linked to George Stark. Progress depends on examining locations, finding useful objects or clues, and selecting appropriate actions or responses.

The story advances through a sequence of scenarios rather than combat-focused stages. Exploration and deduction are more important than reflexes, and incorrect choices can waste time or obstruct progress.

Examine every available location carefully and keep track of clues, objects, and names. Revisit earlier areas after major story developments, since useful actions may become available later.

When progress stalls, review the evidence and try actions that directly relate to the current objective rather than repeating unrelated interactions.
