How it feels

A tense, brief stealth walk through a deliberately skewed and subjective version of Japanese cultural imagery.

What players say

Players say the game is a free 8番出口 clone where you decide if each floor feels 'Japan' or not, with mixed success. The stealth walking causes motion sickness for some, and the logic can be inconsistent, for example, Christmas trees alone fail but with fried chicken pass. It's very short but leans on reused assets and trial-and-error.
