How it feels

A minimalist, text-driven virtual pet experience that blends cute pixel art with an unsettling, psychological tone as you care for an AI creature.

What players say

Players describe a very short experience, around an hour, that mixes a visual novel with typing puzzles. The story is considered interesting but confusing, and while it has horror elements, it is gentle and psychological. Several reviewers note that the English translation is clunky.
