A quiet, personal journey of searching and reflection through a rural town, with a lingering sense of loss and unanswered questions.

What players say

Players praise the branching gender choice for the main character and the sibling, calling for four distinct routes. The roughly eight-hour first playthrough is considered just the start, with substantial extra content. Many note heavy themes of loss and trauma, with trigger warnings provided. The writing and presentation are described as literary and film-like.
