[2] The game consists of a series of rooms that must be progressively unlocked by spending different types of fictional fruit, which can be harvested on the ship.

Over the course of the game, the player encounters a variety of plants that introduce new gameplay mechanics such as Luftapples - balloon-like fruit that float and bounce.

The Clocktower serves as a sanctuary for a collection of plants from across the galaxy, which until recently had always been cared for by the tower's clockwinder.

The tower has fallen into disrepair, beginning to sink into the water that surrounds it, and there is no sign of Edea, the previous clockwinder.

These automatons, called gardeners, replicate her movements to tend to the plants, harvest resources, and repair the machinery.
