Sprung puts players in the shoes of either Becky or Brett in a conversation-based adventure game and dating sim that mostly consists of dialogue.

Different situations will require the player to use their wit and charm, in addition to a wide variety of collectible items, to progress through the scene.

There are multiple locations in the game, all of which feature their own theme music that is influenced melodically by how characters react to choices.

Bonus scenes are unlocked through the collection of "golden lines", which are quotes that are deemed the most witty or absurd conversational options.

Brett tries to navigate love on the mountain with a zany cast of eligible bachelorettes while helping his close friends Danny and Lucas with their own mischief.

Brett's story culminates with a competition with Conor where the prize is the chance to take one of three girls on a dream vacation.

The player also guides Becky in advancing her career path, finding love while on the mountain, and getting revenge on her ex-boyfriend.

"[13] Sprung's subject matter was also applauded by critics, with GameSpot calling it a "bold move", praising the developers for a "willingness to tread some risqué ground which most games tend to sidestep.

"[10] DS Central noted that Sprung "takes extremely adult themes and moulds them into a light hearted, thoroughly fantastic mess.

[11][14] Sprung's wide array of collectible items (notably pepper spray) and the ability to use them on any character was praised by reviewers, though The Globe and Mail wrote that the feature was not implemented frequently enough.
