The gameplay is primarily text-based, similar to classic point-and-click adventure games or visual novels. Players interact with the environment and characters through command choices displayed on the screen.
Basic commands include move to different locations within Soft House, look to examine details of rooms or items, talk to characters to gather information and testimonies, examine suspicious evidence or objects, and think to synthesize collected clues. Occasionally, players will also need to use found items to solve puzzles or unlock new areas.
The main objective is to gather as much evidence and testimony as possible to piece together events, identify the culprit, and uncover the motive. The game may feature multiple endings depending on the player's choices and accurate deductions. Horror and suspense elements are woven through the dark narrative and unexpected plot twists. Players must be careful with every decision, as a small mistake can lead to missing crucial clues or even an undesirable ending.
