How it feels

A dark visual novel where your choices ripple across separate but linked chapters, creating a tense and unpredictable narrative experience.

What players say

Players love the story, characters, and voice acting but are split on the puzzles. Many say the puzzles are unsolvable without outside resources, and the true ending requires a guide. Combat is compared to Darkest Dungeon but feels secondary to the narrative. The game is short because only the first chapter is released, and some worry about the pace of updates.
