Zoya, the "entrepreneur", has a bow and arrow with which she can defend herself, as well as a grappling hook that allows her to swing across larger abysses.
Amadeus, the magician, is able to move objects using his magic power. In addition, he is able to create boxes, planks and pyramids that can then be used to overcome obstacles.
Pontius the knight has a shield and a sword. With the sword opponents can be attacked, while with the shield the defense against danger is possible.
In the course of the game, objects can be found or skills acquired that help the player but are not absolutely necessary to pass the game.
