Players control Piyorita, a blank doll devoid of memories and emotions. Guided by a voice, she investigates hidden rooms past a mirror, draining the life force from other dolls to become the Masterpiece. The order in which players unlock these rooms changes how the story unfolds.

Combat features real-time swordplay, unlimited dashes, magic reflection, and weapon switching. Players can gather materials in the field and return to the White Nest Room hub to craft spells, weapons, and traps, or upgrade skills. Defeating bosses and meeting specific conditions also allows players to summon them as allies in later battles.
