How it feels

A gentle, character-driven visual novel with light romantic and mystery elements, punctuated by brief horror undertones.

What players say

Players praise the art and Emote engine animations but are sharply divided on the story: many call it confusing with plot holes and abrupt endings that leave questions unanswered, while a few appreciate its atmospheric mystery. It is a short kinetic novel with no choices, taking roughly 3 to 10 hours to complete.
