What players say
Players describe it as a short Yume Nikki or Omori-style game with voice acting and multiple endings, but split on quality. Some praise the effort and dark atmosphere, others call it confusing, buggy, lacking nuance or overly edgy, with wonky hitboxes and a blatant story that fails to connect.
