How it feels

A peaceful farming game that gradually reveals a darker undertone, blending calm surface gameplay with an unsettling twist.

What players say

Players say the game starts as a peaceful farming sim but abruptly turns into a frustrating stealth-runner hybrid, with the farming portion lasting only a few minutes. Many feel misled by the screenshots, while others appreciate the challenge and art but split on whether the difficulty is fair or broken, and some note crashes during the running segments.
