GAME PLAY
The player has to solve puzzles in the form of questions that the ruined gates provide. The player has to interact with the magical animals, ruins, and rocks to get the correct answer. The words themselves contain their own meanings and form a new language. Left clicking moves the character around, and when you right click on the characters player will see a radial menu that shows the vocabulary that Bunzu has “learned” or the words that can answer the questions that the ruins ask the player.
