How it feels

A slow, somber exploration of grief through surreal, pixelated environments and structured emotional stages.

What players say

Players describe it as a bizarre, short horror game about hunting rats to feed a family. The atmosphere is praised but many find the gameplay repetitive and the story shallow for its length. Reviews split on whether it is a meaningful grief story or just a disappointing short experience.
