How it feels

A lonely, atmospheric trek through a cursed forest, guided only by a flickering lantern as you piece together a somber story of loss.

What players say

Players praise the gothic storybook art and the creative lantern mechanic but warn of a janky feel, bugs, and no save system. It is a short, free student project that players recommend with caveats about its rough edges.
