How it feels

A quiet, introspective visual novel where you read through a story about decay and love that feels inconsequential, with a gentle, somber mood.

What players say

Players praise the art and writing as emotionally powerful, with many reporting tears. The game is a short, linear visual novel with no choices and a sapphic romance, taking about two hours. Some find the style pretentious or not for older players, but most say it resonated deeply.
