The game consists of various different, loosely connected areas the player has to explore, collecting both items to help on the way{{cite interview |title=An Interview with Clysm |author=Andrew Toups |date=15 June 2005 |journal=The Gamer's Quarter |issue=3rd Quarter 2005 issue #2 |url=http://www.gamersquarter.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=218 |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20070313221030/http://www.gamersquarter.com/forums/viewtopic.php?t=218 |archivedate=13 March 2007}} and floating "wisps" of various colours; obtaining a 100% collection rate on all levels will unlock the bonus level which is needed to view the ending and credits. Seiklus has no weapons and no violence. There are various "hostile" lifeforms in some areas, but at worst they only set the player back a little. It is impossible to die or get stuck.{{cite web |title=From Shooter to Shooter: The Rise of cly5m |date=30 June 2011 |publisher=Insert Credit |url=http://insertcredit.com/2011/06/30/from-shooter-to-shooter-the-rise-of-cly5m/ |access-date=17 April 2015 |archive-date=19 January 2012 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20120119215221/http://insertcredit.com/2011/06/30/from-shooter-to-shooter-the-rise-of-cly5m/ |url-status=dead }}
