The game uses a side-view perspective. The objective is to lead enough humans to the exit while keeping the group alive and solving environmental obstacles.

Stages are built around distinct screens or rooms containing platforms, ladders, hazards, enemies, and usable objects. Players select or direct individual humans, make them perform available tasks, and coordinate their movement to open a route. Later puzzles require more precise timing and a better understanding of how the group’s abilities interact.

Survey the entire stage before committing to a move, especially when a human can fall or become trapped. Keep the group together when possible, but separate individuals when one must operate a tool or create a route.

Use expendable attempts to learn enemy movement, trap timing, and the order in which objects must be used. If progress stops, retrace the stage from the beginning rather than repeatedly forcing the same unsafe action.
