The gameplay of the game unfolds in three main segments: preparation, climbing, and storytelling. In the preparation part, players gather information about the mountain, procure suitable equipment and food from the shop, and develop five parameters: Strength, Companions, Elation, Knowledge, and Preparation. By growing these elements and acquiring skills, you will be ready to challenge the climbing part.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The climbing section is designed in a Sugoroku-style format, with players progressing by spinning a roulette wheel. As they move, stamina and water levels decrease. To avoid running out of stamina and hydration, players must use carry-on items and rest spaces that allow for partial strength recovery.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the path, there are squares that can affect gameplay such as Companion Squares for bonding and strength recovery, Accident Squares for disadvantages, and Surprise Squares for events with special SD illustrations. The objective is to guide to the mountain’s summit, carefully checking the route.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
