A grim and branching visual novel that puts moral weight on every decision, pulling you through a sparse and hostile desert landscape.

What players say
Players describe this as a very short visual novel with pixel art and a few choices that lead to different endings. Many finish it in under 20 minutes and praise the easy achievements, but the writing is often called shallow and awkward.
