The game is about Hat Kid, an alien girl trying to get back to her home by recovering lost "Time Pieces". The gameplay is mostly running through an open world environment by platforming, going around obstacles, and getting collectibles. It is inspired by earlier 3D platformers like Super Mario 64, Banjo-Kazooie, Spyro the Dragon, and Psychonauts.[7][8][9] The game was liked by a lot of people, who said it was similar to older platformers.[10]
