:The game follows a traditional first person perspective in a two dimensional world. Graphics have limited animation, thus each scene is a 'still' screen with minor animation. The player will be able to see the protagonists hand as well as the room and enemies that are currently present. FMCs feature a third person perspective of the characters and their interactions.

== Dungeons ==

:A dungeon is just a fancy word we use to refer to a group of levels. You can think of each dungeon as its own story entity. Each dungeon consists of five or more levels and a boss type enemy. It is the player’s job to make it to the end of a dungeon to claim its treasure and be guided to the next dungeon. Each dungeon will be in a different geographical location on the globe as well.

=== Levels ===

:A level is a series of rooms that are strung together. You can think of levels as separate floors within a dungeon. Each room will have plenty of tasks for the player to complete such as combating an enemy, find hidden treasures, or solve puzzles. It is up to the player to find the exit for each level within the dungeon in order to get to the next one.

=== Elemental Dungeons ===

:Each dungeon will also have a natural element to tie it together with a nice theme. These elements are ice, fire, desert, jungle, and astral. Aside from the looks, enemies will also follow the theme. There may even be certain effects, limiting or changing game play in some manner.
