A slow, calming simulation that feels like a quiet space for reflection and gentle hope.

What players say

Players recommend it as a Paper Please-like with music and humor. The game gets harder as you go, and some found themselves taking real notes to keep up. A negative review flagged Chinese text problems and unused self-medication mechanics.
