How it feels

A slow-paced, text-heavy point-and-click visual novel with a modest narrative focus and unpolished translation.

What players say

Players praise this odd visual novel for its dense writing, short digestible episodes, and a chatty dog-and-cat duo that keeps things lively. The game tackles weighty themes with a chaotic energy, though the save system is clumsy and some mini-games are tricky. It draws comparisons to Suda51 or Love-de-Lic works.
