How it feels

A poignant, story-driven journey blending 2D platforming and visual novel segments, focusing on the emotional farewell between a cursed immortal boy and a dying shrine maiden.

What players say

players describe this as a short visual novel without character sprites, using only a handful of CGs and background art. The story is a predictable redemption tale that many found underwhelming, though the art and music are praised. Most agree the full price is too high for what is offered.
