How it feels

A somber, story-rich journey where you switch between two struggling protagonists in parallel worlds, investigating clues and solving moderate puzzles to uncover a buried truth.

What players say

Players praise the story and the two-world premise, with a small but charming cast and a deep narrative. The horror is strongest in one early chapter focused on traditional Chinese family oppression, which several reviewers call genuinely disturbing, after that the game turns more heartwarming. Puzzles are moderately difficult and the length is short.
