How it feels

A text-heavy visual novel with a slow-burn mystery and an eerie, ominous atmosphere.

What players say

Players praise the writing and mystery but warn this is the first chapter of a series that was abandoned in 2016. The story introduces characters and threads that never pay off, leaving a cliffhanger. Many say it takes 4 to 11 hours to finish and has little interactivity beyond pop quizzes.
