How it feels

A slow, introspective visual novel that feels like unraveling a quiet mystery through fragmented memories.

What players say

Players are split on the true ending: some find it satisfying, others think prior routes feel pointless. The story is a dense, self-reflexive visual novel about love, identity, and projection, with a slow buildup and an SF twist. The protagonist's unlikable, jealous nature is a deliberate focus, and the monkey-typing-machine premise is called too crude by some.
