A collection of short word-based tales with a supernatural and gothic atmosphere, presented through simple 2D visuals and a casual, narrative-focused feel.

What players say

Players are split on this collection of five short visual novels. Some praise the variety of genres and atmospheres, while others find the writing shallow and the romance clichéd. The puzzle in the Ratman story stands out as a highlight, but the overall quality is inconsistent, and several reviews note that the art style shifts jarringly between stories.
