Gameplay
The game is played from Anna's perspective. There are many different types of tasks in the game.

Hidden object scenes
Throughout the game, the player needs to investigate different scenes, by looking for objects in them. In each scene investigated, there is an object which progresses the story. Unlike other hidden object games, there can be multiple objects of the same kind (like rings), and it's possible that another action is required to be done before an object is found (like opening a cabinet, or collecting another object). Those objects are marked with red. When looking for objects in the same scene again, the objects which have been collected previously are removed.

Comics
When bigger conversations take place, they are represented by comics. They end when the conversation ends, or when some other task should be done during the conversation (like giving some item to a character). Like with the rest of the game, the comics are available in multiple languages, but voice-overs are only available in English.

Mini-games
Whenever some more complex action is supposed to be completed, it's presented as a mini-game. Mini-games can range from fixing wiring, to exiting a maze, to playing solitaire. They aren't obligatory, as they can be skipped, but that takes away from the energy.
