The player must navigate the dungeons to find an orb and bring it back, with text boxes popping up occasionally to deliver more information. Tochi features some text-based narrative to instruct the player, acting as a plot device and a mechanism for delivering the game’s tutorial.

The player must navigate through the dungeons in a retro panel-screen system, where each area is a single self-contained screen, and enemies do not travel between those screens. The gameplay of Tochi is very straightforward, requiring only the D-pad for movement and the A button for attacking enemies.
