The game is set inside a laptop abandoned since 2007, with a pictogram protagonist named Anon, platforming, ball-rolling movement, and OS-style puzzle operations using in-game windows.

Movement includes jumping across platforms and turning into a ball to stick to walls. The art direction draws on retro aesthetics, the original PlayStation among them.
