How it feels

A solitary, introspective adventure about completing a final creation and confronting purpose, with a somber and reflective tone.

What players say

Players praise Felice's cute design and the Live2D animation, and they enjoy the four personality branches. But many find the gameplay grindy and repetitive, the story short, and the price too high for the amount of content.
