While the player is exploring the game's world, they will encounter hidden tomes which can be used to initiate Fated Mage hunts, hunts players can play through repeatedly in order to collect specific upgrades. The game features elements commonly seen in Metroidvania games. Previously out-of-reach areas can be accessed once the player collects the necessary traversal items.

They will gradually discover different shortcuts that allow them to transverse quickly, though the game does not have a fast travel option. Unlike Salt and Sanctuary, the game has online multiplayer. Players can join different multiplayer factions. The Shroud Alliance will invade another player's session and hunt them down, while Blueheart Runners can summon enemies known as Haze Burnt to kill the hosting player.
