Abzû is an underwater exploration game. The player character resembles a diver and can move freely within the 3D environment, with the camera freely rotating. It is possible to swim in any direction, break through the surface and flip, explore the bottom with a headlight that automatically turns on when it gets dark, and so on. Along with a separate acceleration button, there is a short three-stage acceleration function for a short burst of extra speed. Aside from the interactive tutorial, there are no prompts or HUD elements explaining the objectives. The diver has an unlimited supply of air.
The diver explores different self-contained areas connected by passages. These are all filled with different types of fish, and interaction is possible by swimming through them. There is also a type of ecosystem, as some will feed on others. The player character cannot die, and sometimes small, environment-based puzzles must be completed to advance to the next area. Sometimes, drones can be released that swim around. These open certain passages, and the diver can interact with them through sound, but this has no other function. Optional elements include locating places where other types of fish can be released and collecting hidden shells. The game encourages the meditative element of the game, which is to sit and enjoy the environment, as certain statues can be located where a meditation function can be activated. During meditation, the diver is no longer controlled, but the player moves around the camera, following and observing the fish in the environment.
No background information is provided at the outset, but the story of a civilization in the ocean is gradually revealed through background elements, and there is a progression system based on bringing orbs to temples. Sometimes there are also different sections, locking the diver to a 2D plane or removing certain parts of the movement and limited camera actions to swim alongside giant creatures, avoiding mine-like objects, and gliding in a jetstream with other fish. Sometimes it is possible to cling to larger creatures and hitchhike.
