How it feels

A gentle, heartfelt narrative where you explore a quirky town and support characters while a tender romance unfolds at a modest pace.

What players say

Players are split on this gay-led adventure. Many find it emotionally affecting and praise the world-building, but others say the characters feel flat, the romance is underdeveloped, and the story ends on an unrequited, bittersweet note that contradicts the cover art.
