Like the first game, Echo Night 2 is played from a first-person perspective. However, unlike most other first-person games, there is no use of firearms in the game. When confronted by a ghost, the player must turn on the lights in the room by means of a light switch. The player is often transported into the past via the passengers or certain objects. Once the player fulfills a task important to a spirit, they will vanish and drop an "Astral Piece" which can be used to get a different ending scene.
