Initial gameplay sees the player’s character having to survive with scant resources and needing to fend off wild animals such as boar, wolves, bears and werewolves. Once the player is equipped with an item that can be used as a weapon, defence against attacks is then possible. The severity of violence is governed by the type of weapon used. Wooden stakes and clubs will slowly cause damage to an animal, which is indicated by a reduction in the animal's health gauge. By contrast, a firearm will hasten the animal's death. However, there are no blood effects When human characters are encountered they will relentlessly attack the player’s character. Any damage to the player is displayed as a reduction in the health gauge.

Uncover and upgrade powerful gear in order to free the city of Mirage from a deadly sandstorm.
Content specific issues
The creature you encounter (the creature in the well) is scary. It has bony finger/arms and sharp eyes that light up in the dark. You never see more than these hands and eyes, which makes him mysterious. He can wail angry mechanic/crying screams, adding to the scariness. The robot you command can get hit by red energy orbs or electrified patches on the ground. Doing so drains health.
