How it feels
A deliberate, low-key investigation through pixelated retro visuals and rotoscoped animation, uncovering a slowly unfolding mystery with a quiet, noir-like tension.

What players say
Players find the mystery-to-sci-fi story engaging early on but are split on its execution: some call the pacing slow and the ending anticlimactic, while others praise the atmosphere and narrative courage. The puzzles are simple but suffer from pixel hunting.
