How it feels

A gentle, story-driven visual novel about a teen navigating everyday pressures and finding hope in simple daydreams.

What players say

Players call it a short, free visual novel about teens dealing with school and personal struggles. The story is relatable and the dialogue improves as it goes, but the ending feels rushed and leaves too many open threads, especially around a side character. Art quality varies noticeably between characters.
