Gameplay combines exploration, investigation, resource management, combat, and narrative sequences. Light remains an important gameplay element, with players using it to confront supernatural enemies and survive dangerous encounters. The game features environments including Cauldron Lake, Bright Falls, Watery, and the Dark Place.
