The game uses a first-person perspective and moves through maze-style levels made of locked doors, patrol routes, and hidden areas. Players collect keycards, weapons, ammo, and health while eliminating soldiers, dogs, and tougher enemies. Core controls focus on movement, turning, and shooting, with progress driven by map knowledge, resource management, and finding exit points. Secret rooms often contain bonuses and extra supplies.

Save stronger weapons and ammunition for dense enemy groups and boss encounters. Watch for differently colored wall sections, since secret passages and supplies are often hidden there. Use corners and doorways to fight enemies one at a time, and keep moving during gunfights to reduce damage from direct fire. Clearing each floor methodically helps avoid getting ambushed from behind.
Classic title-screen cheat combinations can unlock debug-style options such as invincibility and all weapons, though button inputs may vary by version.
