How it feels

A quiet, introspective story about a young woman drifting through a suffocating small town, where small moments and unexpected connections slowly stir change.

What players say

Players praise the authentic portrayal of small-town Chinese high school life and family trauma, with nuanced LGBTQ+ representation that feels organic rather than forced. The branching narrative and multiple endings create strong emotional impact, though some find the subject matter too heavy or the writing uneven. A few reviewers note it relies on genre scarcity for its high praise.
