Seven photographs can be collected based on triggering certain events and after requiring the advanced radio twelve buried letters can be discovered by tuning the radio to a specific frequency at a specific location.
There are two types of optional collectibles. After the initial events the goal is to bring all the teens back together, unravel the island's history and explain the strange occurrences, and find a way off the island. It is not possible to die or get stuck, but many choices are irreversible. Another type of puzzle involves finding the correct speed for audio tapes. Solving a puzzle is usually done by finding the right frequencies. These often trigger supernatural events involving the island's history with horror elements, often including audio and video distortions and glitches.

These are solved by using Alex's portable radio, which can be activated at any time. The game's focus is on progressing the story and there is only a small amount of puzzle elements. Based on the choices, different routes, actions and companions can be chosen, also leading to different endings. A small text balloon showing a character's face often signals this to the player. Alex's choices influence how the other characters think about her, how they feel towards each other and what type of options will be available for later conversations. Remaining silent and not weighing in is also an option. These fade after a short time, so the player chooses one of the options and can also determine when to cut off someone. Each option has a different colour that represent a certain emotion. The game uses a free-flowing conversation system where the characters talk to each other and Alex can intervene, often by choosing from three options. Most of the attention goes to character development, conversations and the relationships between the characters. She is the main character and controlled by the player, while the other characters generally follow her. Alex can be moved around freely and a single button is used to climb or jump gaps, but only to continue moving as there are no platform elements. The game is played from a third-person side view with side-scrolling environments.

Joining them is Mona, Ren's crush, and the cynical Clarissa. She brings along Jonas, her new stepbrother who does not yet know much about Alex. The blue-haired Alex is the main protagonist and she is a good friend of Ren, a talkative stoner.
