It is possible to kill enemies through the use of prolonged attacks, though attacking them is mainly used as a way to ward them off. Players are expected to mainly evade the enemies, but they do need to experiment with spears to climb walls and knock fruit off of vines. Enemies possess dynamic AI and exist in the game's world perpetually, even when not on the same screen as the player. The enemies spawn from set dens and can then move freely throughout rooms, meaning the player is faced with problems that they sometimes cannot avoid. Many enemies can kill the slugcat in one hit, and some species have different variations, such as the many types of lizards, all with unique abilities. Unless it eats enough food to fill up the hunger bar, it will not return to normal and will starve to death once the cycle ends through hibernation.Įnemies range from camouflaged plants to large vultures to Komodo dragon-like lizards and large aquatic creatures. Instead it will wake up in starvation mode, where it becomes sluggish and faints often. However, if the slugcat has not eaten sufficient food, it will not be allowed to hibernate normally. If the player does not reach the hibernation point before the end of the day cycle, a crushing rain will pour, flooding the world and ensuring the slugcat dies through drowning or being pummeled by the rains.
Hibernation resets the day cycle and saves the player's progress. The slugcat can jump, swim, and climb poles to avoid enemies while foraging for sparse food, which is used to hibernate in scarce, designated safe rooms.
The player is given little explicit guidance and is free to explore the world in any direction via pipes and passages that pass through over 1600 static screens, each with enemies that spawn in set locations and can then move from screen to screen. The player's character, referred to as a \"slugcat\", uses spears and rocks to survive in a hostile, ruined, and obtuse 2D world.
