How it feels
A slow, contemplative historical investigation where every choice weighs heavily on the fate of a small community.

What players say
Players praise the writing and art, comparing it to a living history book. The game is dialogue-heavy and slow, with a murder mystery that takes a backseat to deeper themes. Some find the constant roaming tedious, and players split on whether it would work better as a visual novel.
