== Gameplay ==
The game features 5 minigames, each of them based off a member of Advent plus an additional minigame featuring all members.
=== Bijem'd ===
Bijem'd is a tile-matching minigame featuring Biboo as she attempts to save as many Moai as possible from the pickaxes.
The goal of the game is to save as many Moai as possible by clearing groups of matching coloured stones so the Moai can get to the bottom. Each click will cause the pickaxes to get closer, if the pickaxes reach the bottom its game over. Each Moai saved will add to the score and will push back the pickaxes slightly. Saving many Moai within a few moments of each other will cause a combo and will greatly improve the score.
There are 3 difficulties; Sandstone (easy), Granite (normal) and Marble (hard). Granite has 4 types of coloured stones that can be destroyed while Sandstone has one less and Marble has one extra type.
=== The Demon Of Sound and Soup ===
A crossover of the Snake and Rhythm genres, The Demon Of Sound and Soup features Nerissa Ravencroft and a Jailbird trying to make soup.
The goal of the game is to collect ingredients to put into the soup, the player moves the Jailbird by using the WASD or the arrow keys. The player must move to the beat of the music or they will lose health, if all health is lost its game over.
To drop off the ingredients the player goes to the glowing area around Nerissa with greater amounts of ingredients being dropped off at once gaining more points.
=== We're Abaubaut to Crash! ===
We're Abaubaut to Crash! is a endless runner minigame featuring Fuwawa and Mococo Abyssgard, both controlled with the W and ↑ key respectively.
The player controls both Fuwawa and Mococo at the same time as they attempt to avoid pits, avoid (or jump onto) Pero and collect gems. There are also pon de ring that can be collect that count as 5 gems. The further into the game the player gets the faster and harder the game gets.
The player can also double jump, causing the selected Abyssgard to jump off their vehicle though they will land back on it if nothing is in the way. If the selected Abyssgard jumps onto the top path they will continue running on the top path while the vehicle will continue on the bottom path.
If one of the Abyssgards are hit they will lose their vehicle but will be able to continue running. The ability to double jump is also lost. To gain back the vehicle the player fill the BAU BAU BAU! meter that appears next to Abyssgard that lost their vehicle by collecting gems, each gem fills one letter so 10 gems are needed to fill it. Once filled the vehicle will reappear.
If one of the Abyssgards get hit without a vehicle or fall into a pit they will be killed, the other Abyssgard will have a BAU BAU BAU! meter appear next to their name, once filled it will revive the other Abyssgard without a vehicle.
=== Archival Survival ===
Archival Survival is a horror farming minigame where the player attempts to farm as much plants as possible without dying.
There are 3 main areas, a water refilling area, the barn with seeds and the farm. They are all spread out requiring the player to walk a while between them, water and seeds are needed for the farm where the seeds are planted, are watered and eventually harvested.
Soon after planting the first seeds, enemies will begin spawning. They are floating yellow eyes and will stare at the player and block paths. If the player gets too close the player will begin losing health. If all health is lost its game over.
=== Rideshare Rebellion ===
After escaping prison Advent needs some cash so they can start streaming. Advent turns to the gig economy and start a taxi service.
Rideshare Rebellion's gameplay is inspired by Crazy Taxi. The player drives a car throughout a city, picking up passengers and dropping them off where they want with the faster the trip, the more money gained. The goal is to get as much money as possible before the time runs out.
Rideshare Rebellion is based on Advent's debut song, Rebellion. The city is filled with various Hololive references such as a YAGOO statue, a KFP and a Tako Bell.
