Narrative mystery receives prominent emphasis, but the playable structure also relies on gathering materials, improving a village, building defenses, and handling repeated attacks. The result combines story progression with settlement management rather than presenting a purely exploratory adventure.

O. L Search of Light is a narrative adventure set in a steampunk dark-fantasy world beneath the surface.
