A meditative, non-linear interactive novella where scrolling forwards and backwards through an ever-changing story creates a haunting, unraveling mystery.

What players say
Players praise the writing and cosmic horror atmosphere but are split on the story's coherence and ending. Some find it brilliant and poetic, while others call it pretentious and incomplete. The music is widely appreciated.
