How it feels

A quiet, pixel-art visual novel with a cozy surface that slowly reveals an emotionally messy and painful unraveling of a workplace friendship.

What players say

Players say this is a short, emotionally honest visual novel with pixel art, where choices mostly affect how the main character reacts rather than altering the story. It is currently only Part 1 of the full story, and many await Part 2.
