How it feels

A rhythm-RPG where time flows backward, creating a dreamlike and bittersweet journey as reversed causality reshapes every encounter.

What players say

Players praise the reverse-time storytelling and unique rhythm-based combat, but many report the game is buggy and abandoned, making it unplayable past the first battle. Reviews split between those charmed by the free, creative premise and those frustrated by unfinished gameplay and poor hit detection.
