Gaming

It's not a AAA open world game where you glue yourself to your minimap.

You'll spend your time solving in-world puzzles, platforming, and trying to trigger specific series of circumstances in order to get into new areas using your knowledge from previous time loops. New areas expose more lore through "journals" or conversations about what is happening in-world, which points you at new places to explore or hints on content that is difficult to find without out-of-sequence knowledge. That's the basic game loop.

E.g. you might see an event which blocks off an area partway through the timeline, then next loop you make a beeline to the area and explore it before it gets blocked off.
