In Kreel Manor, players assume the roles of legendary champions—such as the Warrior, Sorcerer, or Thief—each possessing unique skills, equipment, and story arcs. The game unfolds over a five-part campaign, with the first and last adventures being fixed, while the middle three are determined by choices made in the accompanying Book of Fables. This branching narrative system ensures a high degree of replayability and personalization.

The core gameplay revolves around managing two primary decks: the Location Deck, which presents various areas within Kreel Manor to explore, and the Threat Deck, containing a mix of foes and plot elements. Threats progress through a "conveyor belt" system, moving from the Shadows into the active Threat Area, creating a sense of impending danger that players must strategically manage.
