How it feels

A tense, branching conversation with a sinister edge where every choice twists the story and the voice in your head questions your resolve.

What players say

Players rave about the voice acting and art, but opinions split on the story: many call it a profound love story that rewards blind playthroughs, while others find the philosophical themes pretentious and the looping structure repetitive after a few runs.
