How it feels
A tense, atmospheric visual novel where you navigate academic betrayal and injustice, with a quiet, studious feel and a focus on manipulation and loss.

What players say
Players say the game is a short revenge visual novel with a decent story and good Korean translation, but they are split on the H-content: most find the 6 H-scenes too few and basic with AI art and voice, while a few enjoy the story enough to recommend it as a cheap narrative.
