Indiana Jones and the Great Circle is a single-player first-person action game. Set in 1937 between the films Raiders of the Lost Ark and The Last Crusade, the story follows archaeologist Indiana Jones as he uncovers a conspiracy centered on the concept of the Great Circle, a mysterious pattern connecting sacred sites across the world. When Nazis and rival archaeologists pursue artifacts tied to this enigma, Indy becomes entangled in a race against time, traveling from the halls of the Vatican to remote Himalayan mountains in search of answers. The player assumes his role directly, using exploration, investigation, and combat to unravel the mystery while confronting enemies who seek to exploit the discovery.

Gameplay is presented primarily from a first-person perspective, blending traversal, puzzle-solving, and combat. Players navigate archaeological sites, tombs, and urban locations using climbing, rope swinging, stealth, and environmental interaction to advance. Indy's iconic whip functions as a versatile tool: it can be used to swing across gaps, disarm opponents, or solve environmental puzzles that block progress. Traditional hand-to-hand combat and firearm use are also featured, allowing players to engage enemies through melee attacks, improvised weapons, and gunfights.

Progression is structured around a series of interconnected missions, each offering different challenges such as stealth infiltration, action-driven encounters, or multi-step environmental puzzles. The whip and other tools gain importance as the player learns to combine them with the environment, for example triggering mechanisms, uncovering hidden passageways, or creating distractions. Puzzles draw on observation and experimentation, with solutions tied to symbols, artifacts, or architectural features.

Combat encounters emphasize improvisation, with players encouraged to use the environment as a weapon. Objects in the surroundings can be picked up and thrown, enemies can be knocked into hazards, and fistfights replicate the rough physicality associated with the film character. Gunplay is more limited, providing ranged options when stealth or melee is not viable.

The game includes cinematic set-pieces where scripted events and quick reactions move the story forward, such as chases, collapses, or confrontations with larger foes. These sequences are integrated into gameplay rather than presented as separate cutscenes, maintaining immersion while advancing the narrative. Exploration outside the main objectives often reveals collectible documents or hidden relics that expand the lore of the Great Circle.
