The player's main enemies include otherworldly creatures known as "beached things" (BTs), MULE (a cult of rogue, bandit-like porters influenced by an obsession with cargo, who attempt to steal deliveries so they can deliver it themselves), and Demens, MULEs who have begun killing porters to claim their cargo. How cargo is packed by the player, and the overall weight being carried, affect Sam's ability to navigate through the environments.
These merits are, in turn, used to level up the player's statistics, such as stability and weight capacity, and increase their standing with individual locations and characters (which can improve rewards). The player is evaluated by the company and recipients based on their performance (including via " likes" similar to social networks), including whether the cargo was delivered, and if it is intact among other factors. The player is tasked with delivering supply cargo to various isolated cities known as KNOTs, as well as isolated researchers and survivalists, while also connecting them to a communications system known as the Chiral Network. The player controls Sam Bridges, a porter for a company known as BRIDGES.
