How it feels

You slowly explore beautiful, desolate environments as dynamic music and interactive flashbacks gently unfold a personal story of love and loss.

What players say

Players describe a short, narrated walking simulator with beautiful natural scenery, but performance is a major issue with stutter, jitter, and a persistent screen door effect even on high-end hardware. Movement is slow and lacks teleportation or snap turning, which contributes to nausea for some, while others praise the relaxing atmosphere and emotional story.
