How it feels

A soothing, lighthearted visual novel where you explore a cozy spaceship, chat with plants, and gently support a troubled captain over a quick coffee-run adventure.

What players say

Players love this short visual novel for its warm, relatable story about loneliness and personal growth. It runs about 30 minutes to an hour, and many wish it were longer. The dialogue, art, and music are praised, and interactions with the robot Nim and the captain stick with players.
