In this first-person role-playing game, you play as Damitri (the lead character of the Spellbound book series). He shoots snowballs and icicles from his hand representing his ice magic abilities. The player has a companion, Laura. She has abilities relating to sound. She can scream to destroy enemies or sing to heal the player. Eventually, two more characters join the party. The pause menu is a 2D still image of the characters frozen in time. A character with abilities relating to time and space assists the player by pausing time, reversing time either back to the beginning of the level, or the entire game. In first person mode, the player will run as Damitri shooting as many snowballs and icicles at enemies such as zombies, mummies and possessed New Heat Guards. A character bio exists within the main menu. This gives is where most of the lore and backstories of the characters exist. There are two other game play modes. The player will have a third person view of a rock creature that the player can control. A second racing/chase level exists with the player controlling a vehicle powered by fire magic in third person mode. Occasional cutscenes show the player's location and any bosses or obstacles that may exist in the scene. Some levels prevent you from pausing. This is due to the person with time and space magic being incapable of assisting in these locations. The player can heal infinitely with the help of their companion. Although, a Game Over is very possible in areas of highly littered enemies.
