The two characters have different abilities. Dipper can combat enemies with a close-ranged weapon called Gnome Battle Cuffs and look for clues using a flashlight, while Mabel can utilize a grappling hook to reach high grounds, and perform combat enemies with ranged attacks by her "Fleece of Bedazzlement-enhanced sweater sleeves".[1] Players can purchase new items from vendors, and return to the regions they have previously explored, similar to a metroidvania.[2]
