How it feels

A thoughtful point-and-click adventure with a slow, exploratory pace, driven by curiosity about family secrets and the fabric of time.

What players say

Players are split on this point-and-click adventure: some praise its story and voice acting, while others find the puzzles arbitrary and the 3D camera frustrating. The game is short and feels like a mobile port, with a slow walk speed and no hotspot indicator.
