The gameplay involves disassembling and defusing increasingly complex bombs using a variety of tools, including a screwdriver, nipper, wrench, allen wrench, and adhesive tape. The player must rotate and examine the object thoroughly to find the correct sequence of tool usage, all while managing a time limit that will trigger an explosion if exceeded.
The game features three difficulty levels and over a dozen different bombs to defuse, each with its own unique challenge. Between stages, live-action photographs provide context for Suzuki's story, adding to the overall sense of urgency and danger.
