While exact gameplay details are light so far, we do know for certain that player decisions will be a core part of the gameplay of The Casting of Frank Stone. This is the bread and butter of Supermassive Games, a cast of characters facing off against supernatural foes, while the player must make decisions that decide their fates and drive the plot forward.

This very much seems to be the case here, as the developer has made it clear that player decisions will "shape the story and impact the fate of the characters within it."
