How it feels

A slow, text-heavy visual novel where you piece together ghost stories and uneasy mysteries through quiet conversations and haunting atmospheres.

What players say

Players call it a bundle of three very short horror visual novels with good art and voice acting, but the writing is often described as clunky or cringey. Multiple reviewers note that choices feel meaningless in most stories, and the playtime tracker is bugged. Some find references to a character's skin color uncomfortable.
