How it feels

A slow, deliberate point-and-click adventure through a grim hand-drawn forest, where tension builds from unsettling secrets and moral choices rather than action.

What players say

Players praise the gloomy, hand-drawn art style but are split on the experience because the first episode is very short, around one hour. Many wish it were longer and are waiting for more episodes to be released, while some note voice acting and audio balancing problems.
