How it feels

A stylish, bittersweet visual novel that feels like hanging out in a late-night Melbourne café where death feels quiet, warm, and strangely cozy.

What players say

Players praise the stylish visuals and soundtrack but are sharply split on the story. Many find the narrative lacking and the characters underdeveloped, with some saying the emotional themes about grief don't land. A few note the Chinese voice acting has quality issues and the game can't be played without audio.
