How it feels

A slow, deliberately heavy visual novel that mixes 2D platforming with grim, educational storytelling about oppression and survival.

What players say

Players praise the art style and emotional story about North Korea, but criticize the clunky controls, unclear level design, and game-breaking bugs that block progression. There's no save option, forcing a single-session playthrough.
