How it feels

A tense, text-driven visual novel where you piece together fragmented destinies in a surreal office, guided by a disembodied voice and haunted by your own lost memories.

What players say

Players call it a short visual novel that takes two to three hours, with a nice pixel-art atmosphere and a premise about judgment. Many find the plot predictable and say that most choices only affect the final verdict, making earlier decisions feel meaningless. Some note the English text has awkward phrasing.
