Landed is a story-focused game with a branching narrative and an interactive skill checking system. The player experiences life as Nate, a robot living on the floating island of Astralium. Early on in the game, his curiosity encourages him to find answers in the mysterious junkyard he works at. The Secret Garden is a one of Nate's first discoveries on his adventure, and it serves as a comforting hiding spot and a place to read any data chips that were collected on his journey, as they are stored in a bookshelf. The player must interact with characters in different places of the island to convince them of the truth: that their world is doomed to an inevitable fall. The player’s developed skills will be tested through the checking system, which plays a major part in earning the trust of characters. They must choose wisely what skills to invest in, as it can determine whether the Rockbots live or die in the end.
