How it feels

A short visual novel that feels quietly unsettling, blending the familiar act of making dumplings with the subtle horror of traditional family discipline.

What players say

Players describe it as a very short visual novel about a single woman facing family expectations during Chinese New Year, finished in about 10 minutes. It has a dumpling-making mini-game and several endings, with no save but quick backtracking. Some find the story superficial or preachy, while others appreciate the relatable pressure and mild psychological horror.
