How it feels
A text-heavy interactive novel where you make hundreds of choices to shape a teenage hero's journey, uncovering conspiracies and personal secrets through imagination alone.

What players say
Players praise the writing, especially the beginning, but nearly everyone says the game feels too short and the ending arrives abruptly. Character relationships are shallow, with little emotional connection, and the story rushes through its arcs as if trimmed or unfinished.
