How it feels

A slow-burn psychological horror that builds tension through quiet exploration and the dread of losing friends one by one in an abandoned rural school.

What players say

Players praise the unique time-loop story and strong Thai voice acting, but warn of bugs like missing characters and audio. Some find the loop navigation confusing. Reviews are split on the story's logic: some call it clever while others note plot holes.
