You play as Lyca, a magical wolf crossing a barren landscape and bringing it back to life. As Lyca moves, grass grows across the field, gradually changing it into a meadow.
Each run is about managing energy while covering the field: grass must be crossed again to gather resources, which you use to strengthen Lyca. Runs end when energy is depleted, then you can spend what you collected before setting out again.
A large upgrade tree adds abilities and resource gains as you progress through prestige levels. Later upgrades let Lyca run automatically, and reaching the final prestige milestone unlocks endless mode.
Players who enjoy Lyca often describe it as a calming, short game, praising its music, cute animal designs, and gradual upgrades. Some also like letting the wolf run automatically. Other reviewers find the repeated runs shallow or tedious, and frequently mention that the game does not clearly explain its mechanics; several also report that a grass-covering challenge fails to complete.
