* Chapter 3: Mi has been chosen to ring the six Bells of Fate, said to be the only way to avert TheEndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt. The player can switch between Mi and Bob at any time with the press of a button - using the pair's unique abilities in tandem is the only way to reach many areas on the map. Mi is accompanied by the fairies Dora and Cilia, who do all the talking for her since she's mute. But will ringing the Bells actually save the world, or is it just silly superstition?

Hundreds of years in the future, humans have vanished from the Earth and the planet's surface is believed to be uninhabitable. Various races of tiny creatures such as Sprites, Tails, Fairies, and Pixies (collectively known as "knytt") have established thriving societies in underground tunnel networks, often using remnants of human technology to their advantage. The game is divided into three chapters:

* Chapter 1: The player takes control of a mute Sprite named Mi, who wishes to travel to a Fairy Fountain where the Fairies will grant her wish to be able to speak.
* Chapter 2: Control switches to the ball from ''WithinADeepForest''

!!This game has examples of:

* AntiFrustrationFeatures: While save points are somewhat scarcer than in its predecessors, dying will take you back to the start of the screen you died on rather than the last save point you used.
* {{Backtracking}}: And lots of it!
* BeneathTheEarth: The entire game, though it manages to be quite colorful.
* BlackoutBasement: The "Infinite Darkness" area at the bottom of the map.
* CanonWelding: Establishes that ''Knytt'' and ''Within A Deep Forest'' are set in the same universe.
* ClusterFBomb: Cilia swears enough to net this game an M rating!
* FlipScreenScrolling
* GoodAngelBadAngel: Dora and Cilia. More accurately, "nice idealistic fairy, snarky cynical fairy". You can choose which one speaks to [=NPCs=] in many dialogues.
* HeroicMime: Neither Mi nor Bob can speak.
* HiddenElfVillage: The pixie village. You can find lost pixies and bring them back to it.
* {{Invisibility}}: The purple power-up makes you invisible for a few seconds.
* OneHitPointWonder
* ParasolParachute: You can't actually use it, but one quest tasks you with finding Juni's umbrella from ''Knytt Stories''.
* {{Powerup}}: In the form of colored balls of light. Different colors confer different abilities, but only for a short time.
* RidiculouslyCuteCritter: ''Everyone''.
* SavePoint: 60 total. The game keeps track of how many you find.
* SuperDrowningSkills: Averted; Mi can walk through shallow pools of water without getting killed, and the only pools deeper than that have robots in them that will electrify the water and kill you.
* WallJump: Mi can climb walls and will stick to them as long as you don't press down or away from the wall.
* WarpZone: The Disorder.
* WideOpenSandbox: And probably a bigger one than both previous ''Knytt'' games put together!

* Chapter 2: Control switches to the ball from ''WithinADeepForest''

The game retains the classic {{Metroidvania}} gameplay of its predecessors, with the player guiding Mi through the underground to collect items, complete quests, and find and ring the Bells of Fate. Yes, quests: as you progress through the game you'll meet {{NPC}}s who may give you tasks to complete (usually finding an item or another NPC), often rewarding the player with more items to be used elsewhere. However, unlike ''Knytt Stories'', the items you collect generally don't give you new abilities; instead, you trade them to the gatekeepers who guard the Bells, allowing you access to them.
