How it feels

A heartfelt pixel-art RPG adventure where a grieving father explores a snowy world in turn-based combat and puzzle solving to save his dying daughter.

What players say

Players say this is a very short RPG Maker game, about one hour long, that can be finished quickly. It has a goofy story with some grammar issues in English, but people enjoy the five difficulty modes and the rank system that encourages replays for higher scores. Some mention bugs like softlocks and a poorly optimized snowball minigame, and the game ends on a cliffhanger.
