Gameplay
Misshitsu no Sacrifice's has two modes of gameplay. The first mode, like most other visual novels, requires little interaction on the player's part as much of the player's time will be spent on reading the text that appears on the game's screen. These lines of text represents either the inner thoughts of the characters or the conversation the characters are having with one another. After a stage has been completed, the player will be presented with a screen displaying the possible stages that the player can advance to. Stages that have been completed will be highlighted in blue whereas those that have not been played will be in orange. Each row of stages has a character's name attached to it which will determine which character will be the main character. As stages are completed, more stages will become available. The ending of the game will differ based on the stages that have been selected.
The second mode is more closely connected to adventure games. The player is tasked with the need to investigate different scenes to find clues and items. It is even possible to combine items together to create new items. The player will then try to solve the puzzles in the game using the information and items they have acquired. This additional gameplay mode is rather unusual as a player's interaction with a visual novel is usually isolated to the graphics and audio.
Setting
The story of Misshitsu no Sacrifice takes place in an underground facility called "Foundation" (ファウンデーション, Faundēshon). It is not clear why the facility was built and there is no longer anyone above the ground that knows of its existence.
