Gameplay
Gameplay
• Illustration — First scenes in the Slovenian and Serbo-Croat versions of the game The game's display is divided in three sections, where the first two sections provide the first-person perspective image of the player's location, with the last third conveying text information such as descriptions, current date and time as well as a console for the player to give commands. The gameplay is based on real-time method, the plot features 13 major autonomous NPCs which move from one area to another depending on time, and an open world, aspects already established in previous adventure games. It also introduces hunger and fatigue as parameters which greatly affect the player potentially resulting in his death. These factors also depend on each other, for instance "run to the store before it closes to get food so you don't starve to death, but your fatigue prevents you from running". The player can travel both by foot or by car. Financial planning of food, car gas, gifts and vacation is also mandatory for the player's progression, as it could end the game through bankruptcy. You get several sources of income (piggy bank, monthly salary, savings etc.) which you need to spend during the course of the adventure without fully depleting it.

Another prominent magazine Svet Kompjutera, favourably compared it to other games of the genre such as The Hobbit, Sherlock, and Eric, even praising it as having better and more humorous solutions than the aforementioned games. It particularly noted its very fast routine for image display and the large span of words that could be used during play.
