How it feels

A dark fantasy RPG where you indirectly guide a grieving protagonist through a conspiracy, blending fourth-wall awareness with a hand-drawn world.

What players say

Players love the meta narrative that casts them as Shawn's guardian spirit, a mechanic they compare to Baten Kaitos. They praise the emotional story, queer-friendly writing, and multiple branching endings. Combat uses timed button presses during turn-based battles, which some find engaging and others frustrating. A few note minor bugs and slow pacing early on.
