3x3 Eyes: Tenrinou Genmu is a PlayStation adventure game that combines elements of interactive anime with gameplay set in a distinctive Japanese aesthetic. Players navigate the game world by controlling a cursor to interact with various objects, which are highlighted with contextual commands like look or talk. The experience is enriched with numerous animated cutscenes and visually engaging backgrounds.
The game is a puzzle-less adventure in Japanese fashion, which plays like an interactive anime. The game contains many animated cutscenes, and the locations of the game are still shots in anime style. Unlike most Japanese adventures, the player interacts with the game world not by choosing commands from a menu, but by moving a cursor on the screen. Once the cursor is placed on an object possible to interact with, it is highlighted with an additional command, such as `look`, `talk`, etc.
