The game is played from a third-person perspective and its world is navigated on foot, by boat, or on a dragon. While players navigate Oliver throughout the game's world, other characters can be controlled during battles against enemies; during these battles, players use magic abilities and creatures known as "familiars", which can be captured and tamed.

This is a role-playing game in which players control a boy attempting to save his mother from an evil witch. Players complete quests, search for hidden treasures, and engage in turn-based battles with fantasy creatures (e.g., robots, dragons, animal-like monsters). Characters can use swords, firearms, and magical attacks; enemies fall over and/or disappear in puffs of smoke. The game includes some comical sequences: characters ejected as offspring from a moaning creature; a character picking its nose; dialogue such as “wet me pirate pants!” Character cards sometimes depict/reference alcohol and tobacco (e.g., text reading “…wine that ferments in their stomachs”; a creature smoking a pipe). During the course of the game, players can occasionally wager in-game currency on blackjack and slot machines. The words “damn” and “hell” appear in dialogue.
