He finds a page from his own journal that explains that he must find and kill the Baron Alexander of Brennenburg. In an effort to recover his lost memory, Daniel proceeds through the halls of Castle Brennenburg. Puzzles range from simply combining items to puzzles that span of numerous rooms. This is the style typical of the developer Frictional Games' Penumbra franchise.ДЄlong the journey, the player can collect notes that offer insight into the story but also help solve puzzles. This can include staying in the dark and moving carefully at the cost of his sanity, or using the environment to create distractions (such as by throwing a bottle to make a noise), and running away when spotted. Daniel has no means of defence, so the game explicitly states to the player at the start of the game that they should use their wits instead.

The player collects and refills their lantern, which helps light the way, but also collects tinderboxes to light torches or candles. The game utilizes a lighting system which affects the sanity of a character (darkness being detrimental to Daniel's sanity). However sanity cannot explicitly lead to killing the player, unlike physical health. The sanity system can be considered similar to the one found in Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem. Sanity stops draining when in lit areas, and it regenerates to a healthy state if Daniel solves a puzzle. Dips in Daniel's sanity allow the supernatural to spot him quickly. Seeing and being involved in disturbing events in the game will drain his sanity, eventually leaving him with hallucinations and impaired movement and vision. The game has a health system that includes Daniel's psychological health (sanity) as well as his physical health.
