Gameplay is unchanged and uses pencil-style highlighting for objects and characters you can interact with. Chloe's diary gets updates as the story progresses, and new graffiti page becomes available for player to decide what to write in designated graffiti areas throughout the game. Backtalk mode is present just as in the first episode, giving Chloe a chance to make a conversation go her way if the player chooses the right answers during backtalk mode.
