The overworld portion is played from a top-down perspective.[3] The game features side quests and puzzles for the player to solve, bestowing them with various rewards and skills upon completion.[4][5][2] Beneficial weapons and items can be obtained throughout the game, with some being purchasable using the game's currency, Clams.[6][7][5] Outside of battle, the party can heal and save by encountering a picnic blanket, associated with Omori's older sister Mari.[7]
