How it feels
A melancholic yet darkly funny exploration of returning to a fading hometown, uncovering unsettling mysteries while reconnecting with old friends in a hand-drawn world that feels both cozy and foreboding.

What players say
Players praise the story, characters, and art style, especially how it handles mental health and community. Some find the plot's mystery builds up but never fully pays off, and the pacing is very slow early on. Players are split on whether the narrative delivers on its promises.
