The core gameplay is based on nonogram puzzles (Picross), where players logically deduce which squares to fill in a grid based on row and column number hints, ultimately forming complete images. The game includes 200 nonogram puzzles of varying difficulty, scattered across the island. Beyond puzzles, players can freely explore Fishcross Island, talk to NPCs, collect items, and unlock new areas, incorporating light adventure elements. Progress is non-linear, allowing players to proceed at their own pace by solving puzzles to gain Fish Power and gradually uncover the story.
