A slow, contemplative walk through stark, dreamlike spaces where you can sit and howl at the architecture.

What players say

Players describe this as a dreamlike walking simulator that evokes early 2000s nostalgia and liminal space vibes, comparing it to Yume Nikki and LSD Dream Simulator. It is short and linear, but has many environments to photograph. Players are split on the technical issues: some note performance glitches and stuttering, while others praise the atmosphere.
