In terms of the overall mechanics and style of play, for the most part this is a point-and-click style adventure at its heart. That said, while you’ll need to poke around in different spots in search of whatever it is you’ll need at the moment to advance the story, there’s some variety as well in the form of a few different mini games. While I wouldn’t say that any of these are particularly impressive, and it’s possible you could instead get irked by them in some way, I’ll at least give the developer credit for including a little variety to keep you guessing.

All that said, this is a game where its story is what’s really selling the experience. By helping to define the specific elements you’d like in your new universe, you’re at least able to partially participate in the overall narrative, and that can then take you through different story beats. With some topical issues like religion, the environment, and emotional damage stitched into the overall narrative you’ll need to do some experimenting, and that can make for an interesting and general non-linear adventure of sorts. That lack of a traditional more straightforward structure, and some of the oddity that can lead to, may make it an acquired taste but it’s at least a pretty refreshingly different experience.
