How it feels
A hand-drawn 2.5D thriller where you navigate both real and spirit worlds as a girl seeing ghosts, blending stealth and quick-time events with choices that shape an emotional story about friendship and morality.

What players say
Players praise the unique paper-cutout art and authentic Malaysian Chinese cultural detail, but the story divides them: some find it heartfelt and grounded, others see the plot as illogical and the father character unfairly villainized. A few note the first half is slow, puzzles are tough, and the constant glossary for slang breaks immersion.
