How it feels

A nostalgic and relaxed exploration game with quirky characters and light puzzle-solving, where you walk through charming back alleys to help lost souls.

What players say

Players praise the nostalgic, detailed atmosphere and surreal character designs, but warn the early access build is full of progress-blocking bugs and a messy English translation. Controls feel janky and the camera can cause dizziness, yet fans of quirky Japanese adventure games find the world charming enough to recommend with patience.
