How it feels

A short, quiet narrative about loneliness and unease, where a girl waits alone while nightmares hinted at by the story's premise may or may not surface.

What players say

Players are split on this free visual novel. The AI-driven letter system is praised for originality, but many criticize the AI art and translation, calling it a lazy implementation. The game is short, with a true ending requiring many playthroughs, and some find the writing unsatisfying.
