How it feels

A bittersweet, emotionally charged visual novel where a gentle, melancholic story unfolds through soft visuals and character-driven choices.

What players say

Players consistently note the short length, around 2-4 hours, and feel it is overpriced for what it offers. The writing by rkr has its fans, but many find the plot rushed, with complex lore dumped late and character development shallow. Opinions split on the distinctive art by Kiriha: some love it, others find the faces off. The game is clearly a first installment, leaving threads for a sequel.
