How it feels

A deliberate, story-forward experience blending character-driven dialogue and tactical decisions within a mysterious, atmospheric city.

What players say

Players say this is a visual novel with a small tactical mini-game, not a full strategy title. The hand-drawn art gets universal praise. The heartfelt orphanage story is short, around 1-2 hours, and ends on a cliffhanger that sets up a series. Some find the controls awkward and wish the combat had more depth, while others enjoy it as a light bonus.
