The gameplay involves solving puzzles and investigating various clues to uncover the truth behind the city's plight. Charles decides to investigate this strange phenomenon and travels to Oakmont where he discovers that the city is indeed sinking into the sea.

Other problems with the practice, Yeh noted, include “confusing insects when the grass is suddenly low again. So she recommends planting early blooming shrubs, trees and plants to establish a permanent food source they can remember and rely on as adults when they emerge from dormancy. Hibernating insects have memories that span not only from day to day but from year to year, Yeh said. “Then on June 1st, when the food disappears, it’s not good for them.” “Bees tell each other where the food is, and pollinators (when they discover an unmown lawn) will remember to come back to it again and again,” Yeh said. Yeh sees the movement as a “feel-good, stop-gap measure, because if you want to have an impact, you need to establish a permanent cover for insects,” not merely temporary housing. “It’s such a nice slogan, but letting the grass grow high and allowing it to do its thing, and then suddenly mowing it back is really counterproductive.” “I think it’s a terrible idea, too,” she said.
