How it feels

a slow-burn, surreal horror visual novel where reality twists and moral lines blur as you explore unsettling, manga-inspired tales.

What players say

Players praise the artwork and clear Junji Ito inspiration, calling it a love letter to horror manga. The three short stories with branching paths are engaging but some find the writing weaker than the art or the endings lacking. A mystery around a locked fourth drawer keeps players exploring.
