The main objective of the game is to classify the entities you are dealing with, however, there are also 3 optional objectives generated randomly and which the players can complete for additional rewards.

Even though this game is best suited to be played with friends, there is also a terrifying solo mode, which is harder and even scarier than when played in multiplayer mode.
