The game BuildAsNature is available for free. To play it, you can download a "game launcher" via this website. This launcher must be installed on every computer. A game launcher is a software application used to download, update, and launch the game in its latest version. Unlike traditional standalone installations, the launcher model involves a client running in the background that communicates with the provider's servers—for instance, to deliver updates, synchronize cloud save files, or provide multiplayer features and achievements. It serves as the technical runtime environment for the installed game.

Both the teacher and student experience take place entirely within the Build as Nature application. The software is organized around scenarios, which define the learning experience. Teachers can create their own scenarios or duplicate existing public ones, adapting them to suit their teaching needs. Public scenarios can also be shared with other educators, encouraging collaboration and the development of a growing library of reusable educational content. Every scenario created or duplicated by a teacher is stored in their private scenario list.
