The game is themed around "New Weird," a genre that merges the aesthetics and themes of science fiction, fantasy, and horror. With formidable and potent adversaries that jeopardize the survival of the last remnants of humanity, the game creates a strong sense of survival stress. Players must use firearms and handmade equipment to survive in this challenging and dangerous world.

She explained the game's key design concept, which combines the "New Weird" theme with sandbox survival gameplay, providing players with a refreshing survival adventure experience. Players not only face the typical survival pressures of hunger, thirst, and shelter but also have to be wary of attacks from other dimensions, keep their sanity in check, and avoid the threat of the Stardust and aberrants. The video also showed some in-game footage, including world exploration, stronghold battles, PvP gameplay, and building systems. Although the game is still in development, Once Human provides players with very promising content.

The game offers players the chance to engage in hunting, crafting, building, and more, while dealing with the pressure of the environment itself, from extreme weather to polluted areas and monsters lurking in corners.
