A slow, contemplative journey through a ruined world, piecing together lost memories with deliberate, turn-based steps.

What players say

Players praise the pixel art and soundtrack, but a vocal majority finds the combat unfair and tedious. The short 5-hour playtime and reliance on auto-save frustrate many, while the story is often called confusing or poorly written.
