This keeps gameplay on a tight, linear narrative. Many of the puzzles in the game do not appear or cannot be solved until certain days.
Most of the game takes place in the fictional city, and on a restricted time frame the entire plot is concluded in 30 days. The game follows the path of its predecessor, although there are distinctions in gameplay. The game's interface is a text parser, which requires the player to input commands from a set (but unknown) list to have the character perform actions.
