How it feels
A surreal, text-driven journey through a desert with a quirky, retro aesthetic and a focus on narrative choices and bleakly humorous death.

What players say
Players praise the stylish art and melancholic soundtrack, which carry the atmosphere more than the writing. The story is abstract and surreal, leaving room for interpretation, and the short length (around 1-3 hours) is seen as fitting. Some find the otaku humour hit-or-miss.
