How it feels

A deceptively cute visual novel that pulls you into an unsettling psychological horror story.

What players say

Players split on this free visual novel about depression. Many appreciate its honest portrayal of suicidal thoughts, but the lack of meaningful choices frustrates nearly everyone: the game has only one ending regardless of what you pick. Critics call the writing shallow and unintentionally funny, while supporters find the story relatable and emotional.
