The action of the game takes place in an abandoned mansion filled with danger. The player assumes the role of a middle-aged man who is bored with his life.

The players can deal with enemies with his bare hands as well. An important aspect of the gameplay is the fact that as one progresses through the game, the enemies (there are 11 types of them) are gradually becoming stronger. Thanks to that, the game always remains challenging. The developers have decided to use achievements available on Steam and PlayStation Network as an additional part of the game. With each obtained award the protagonist obtains additional abilities thanks to which the game becomes more varied.

The action is shown from a side perspective, like in typical two-dimensional action games. During the mission, players travel through various floors of the abandoned mansion, free hostages and look for additional equipment. In addition, players must make sure that the monsters won’t damage the building too much – otherwise the construction might collapse and bury the protagonist.
