A relaxed, dialogue-driven visual novel about online connection and character relationships in the early internet era.

What players say

Players are sharply divided: some find the protagonist relatable or enjoy the typing-based chat system, while others call him frustrating and the forced relationship drama tiresome. Many complain about the lack of save slots and a clunky fast-forward, though a few still connect with the bittersweet tone.
