What players say
Players play as an introvert solving pattern-recognition puzzles to gain social energy and progress. The game has three endings, with the first taking 2-4 hours and the third over 20 hours. Reviewers praise its layered secrets, comparing the structure to Animal Well, though some note audio puzzles and pixel-hunting as frustrations.
