The game mixes fixed-camera exploration with story-driven investigation across Manhattan locations. Players search rooms, collect items, solve progression obstacles, and engage enemies in a semi-real-time battle system that combines movement, aiming, and an action gauge. Combat rewards positioning, timing, and resource management, while experience points improve stats, gear performance, and Parasite Energy abilities over time.
Upgrade survivability first by strengthening defense, HP, and reliable core equipment. Explore thoroughly to stock up on healing items and ammunition, since resource conservation makes a major difference. In combat, keep moving to avoid enemy patterns and save powerful Parasite Energy for difficult enemies and boss phases.
