A quiet, introspective visual novel exploring grief and trauma through a blurred line between reality and dreams.

What players say

Players praise the atmosphere, music, and visuals but are split on the writing: some find the text dense, dry, and error-prone, while others appreciate its literary depth and style. The protagonist's voice acting and unnatural dialogues draw criticism, and most agree the game is currently too short with only one episode.
