A contemplative, character-driven visual novel where unraveling a scientific mystery through dialogue and choice feels quietly emotional and immersive.

What players say
Players praise the sci-fi mystery story about a new element and its effect on daily life, alongside beautiful anime-style art and a soundtrack that fits the scenes. Some note the game is long but inconclusive, with a confusing menu, English errors, and no voice acting yet.
