Rather than keeping puzzles separate from the RPG quest, The Village combines difficult riddles and labyrinths with character abilities, farming, and crafting. That pairing makes puzzle-solving part of its J-RPG-style progression.

Its labyrinths and high-difficulty enigmas are paired with genre elements such as multiple characters, abilities, farming, and crafting. These systems form part of the progression toward completing the quest. The game draws on the style of SNES and PS1-era J-RPGs, alongside its puzzle focus.
